New rig for Battlegrounds in 4K

Russinating · 24 Jul 2017 at 11:47

I've been out of PC gaming for about 4 years after being heavily involved since 2000 so I've lost my way a bit. Seems AMD are back on the scene with force!

I can afford to get back into it casually (I already play the PS4 regularly) and a couple of friends playing Battlegrounds has been the tipping point. I've created a system that's an amalgamation of various threads here but just wanted to see if anyone could improve it without going too much over the current total.

As per title I'll be looking to play Battlegrounds on my 4K Sony TV.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Raijintek Thetis Classic Aluminium ATX Cube Case - Black= £86.99
1 x AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 1600 3.60GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £199.99
1 x Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3 AMD B350 (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £101.99
1 x Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD416G30= £119.50
1 x Inno3D GeForce GTX 1080 HerculeZ Twin X2 8192MB GDDR5X PCI-Express Graphics Card (N1080-1SDN-P6DN)= £469.99
1 x Corsair CX-M Series 650W 80 Plus Bronze Semi Modular Power Supply (CP-9020103-UK)= £79.99
1 x Samsung 250GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-75E250B/EU)= £119.99
1 x Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler = £28.99
- AM4 Bracket:Coolermaster AM4 brackets
3 x Akasa AK-FN058 Apache Black Super Silent 120mm Fan - 4 Pin PWM= £11.99

Total: £1,243.40

Thanks in advance!

Seems ok to me at first glance, 250GB SSD for OS and games seems limiting (if you are going to play other games except PUBG) - Thought about a HDD as well?

Yeah it's something I can stick in later if I need to, I've got loads of spare SATAs knocking around and I've also got a 500GB SSD in my laptop (recent Samsung Evo self-upgrade) which I may well swap out so the laptop has 250GB instead.

Lack of replies compared to others I took to mean the setup was fine as per Dan's comment, so went ahead and ordered except swapped the Corsair PSU for its Gold variation. Hopefully be playing PUBG tomorrow!

A 550w psu is enough.

Three fans at £12 each, could get a better case with that extra £30? that has nice fans already.

Good luck playing Battlegrounds in 4k with any decent consistent FPS!!

Yeah I'm sticking to what I know I guess, I've already used that case before at work and it's really nice and since the case'll be in the living room I'm pretty set on that. And I've used loads of those fans at work as well so same reason re: noise and performance.

4K isn't a necessity, I can always drop it to 1080p for performance and the TV should do a decent upscale job.
