PALIT GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB STORMX Graphics Card

Aerocool Cylon 700w 80+ Psu
EG Wider X1 Case

Depends how much you're buying it for!

It only has 4gb RAM and a 120gb SSD

 

[Fred_9293]

Apologies, it should be 2 x 4GB DDR4 and isn't 120GB SSD with 500GB HDD enough?

Cost is just over £400

Hello
I'd up your budget a bit to £500. That spec isn't at all good.

GFX card is previous Generation;
The CPU is an APU (Built in graphics, no need for them)
Board is OK if you don't plan on upgrading the CPU in the future
SSD OK for W10 only.
PSU = May eventually turn your PC into a very expensive firework.
Case = Think baked bean tin. (Apologies if you already own it) Id suggest an alternative.
Ram = too slow & not enough for W10 TBH.
HDD = depends on your storage needs, but you can never have enough storage.

£500 gets you:

Ahh OK 8gb is alright...

Well warzone is 96gb I think so that's most of the SSD gone... I find having a HDD is good for storing other bits like photos, information etc but have the majority of the games on a decent sized SSD for quicker load times and reliability

I appreciate there's a budget, but I think you'll regret buying a quad core and only 8GB of memory in 2020. That SSD will only be good for the OS, so you won't get any benefit out of load times in apps or games. It is just too small to use as a game drive.

If you can find the extra £100 - £150 or so, I'd really recommend it. An MSI Max motherboard would also have guaranteed upgrade to Ryzen 4000.

 

[Fred_9293]

Thanks all, @Grimley that build you've specced looks good, thanks for your time. Do you have any ideas as to what sort of FPS to expect on warzone for example with that set-up?

 

[Grimley]

1080p =Anywhere between 60-85?

 

[Fred_9293]

Okay awesome thanks

 

[Grimley]

Well don't quote me on that. I'm not a gamer, but the almighty google is your friend

Nice one Joxeon. That looks a pretty sweet deal. I've just looked into the rx580 a bit (I'm a bit clueless coming from console, sorry) but the performance looks like just what I am after

The 580 is a great budget card.
