a quick look at frys prices

intel core i5 7400 + gigabyte gaming b8: $215
rx 580 8gb : $249 (slitghtly faster than a gtx 1060 6gb, but cheaper than gtx 1060 6gb with dual or more fans for some reason.)
http://www.techspot.com/review/1393-radeon-rx-580-vs-geforce-gtx-1060/page8.html
thermaltake 750w 80+ bronze psu: $65
Pacific Sun 8gb ddr4 at 2400mhz: $47
generic cpu cooler: ~$15
adata 128gb ssd: $60
seagate 2tb hard drive: $80
total: $731 (doesn't include case, and assumes you build it yourself)

if you're fine with just 1080p possibly not at max settings for more demanding games, then the total would come to about $631 (gtx 1050ti is about $100 cheaper than the rx 580)

if you're fine with buying stuff online (such as from newegg), you can probably find these or similar hardware for cheaper.

RAM - go for cheapest ddr4
Motherboard - asus, msi, gigabyte or any other socket lga1151, if you want extra pcie connection cheapest mb usually doesn't have one, so keep that in mind
CPU cooler - you'll be good whit stock cooler
Power Supply - look for bronze 80 certificate, 400W would be enough, but if you want it to be more future-proof go for 500W.
You might want to take a look at rx 570 prices, in my country it's just a bit more expensive. Also gtx 960 has similar performance and (at least in my country) is 40 eur cheaper.

^^ If you want to save money the SSD is not necessarily but will give you faster loading times.
^ Agree completely with Bouder J, RX 570 is far superior if the prices are similar but you would also need to get a PSU higher than 450w for that, another alternative is the GTX 1060 as these are far more futureproof. However the GTX 1050Ti is still a very capable card if you have budget constraints.


That build will play witcher 3 and GTA V very well at 1080p high settings
(I have a i5 3330 GTX 1050 PC I made from scrap parts like 2 months ago)

it's worth noting that neither gtx 1050/ti nor the 1060 support sli
this means, if you decide to upgrade in the future, you'll have to throw away your graphics card.

the rx 570 and 580 do support crossfire, so you can just buy another amd card and link them together.

I would not advise the Aerocool VX700, its seen as low quality and I'd say the PSU is the most important part because it can destroy the whole computer.
Ref: http://i.imgur.com/361pNaI.png
I assume you want something that would be futureproof if your looking at 700w

One option could be the Corsair CS550m, other examples at class 3 or better are also on that image if you want alternatives

The DDR4 Ram you found is fine and the motherboard will suffice for the i5 6400 and any of the graphics cards mentioned.

You can always sell old parts and would need new mb which supports crossfire, but i do agree that rx 570 is better choice :)

you could, but i'm not too sure people would be willing to buy your used graphics card when they could just buy one from the store. you'll probably have to sell at a much lower price as well.
one other option would of course to use it on a secondary desktop, but i'm not too sure many would be willing to do this, especially given budget constraints.

also:

the 16gb kingston is a ddr3 memory

, while ASUS H110M-K uses DDR4
(https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/H110M-K/)
no, DDR3 and DDR4 are not the same - you need a DDR4 on a motherboard that uses DDR4
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2539018/ddr3-ddr4-motherboard.html

16gb is probably overkill. 8gb is probably enough for you. unless there's some game you wish to play that requires that much memory. if you're thinking about future-proofing, you can always buy another 8gb memory at a later time.

tl;dw: getting a lower clocked ram is perfectly fine. with a higher clocked memory, you're paying a premium price for a negligible or barely noticeable increase in performance.

700w is really not needed. If they're going for new Intel parts you can do a I5-6500 or even 6600k along with a GTX 1070 or even 1080 now on 450w if you don't overclock. 700 is only needed for dual gpu setups.

I'd say it's more important to go for a 500w psu that has a higher efficiency rating, like a gold psu.

It's platinum so it'll save you on your electricity bill. I don't know the quality of Huntkey but sounds pretty good.

And the 7400 should be decent.

Have you used the site PCPartPicker.com?
You can find parts there with price aggregation from a bunch of different websites to find the best deal.(Newegg, TigerDirect, Amazon, and many others, all prices will show up there. Also it shows if the parts are compatible to save you from headache later on.)

If you're using a i5 7400 or 7500 you can just use the stock cooler. You can't overclock it so the stock one is fine and you can save some money there. Trust me, I use the stock cooler on my 6500 and mine stays cool and quiet.

As for RAM just get the cheapest DDR4 8GB or 16GB if you want to futureproof.

Get whichever one is cheapest with good ratings. Check the reviews and make sure they don't have breakdown issues, and as long as it's in your budget, buy it. Also make sure it fits in your case. If your case is mATX, get an mATX board. If it's ATX, get an ATX board.

Really can't argue with that. PS4 is a great investment option and plays those games fine. Plus they have a ton of exclusives coming out which look insane:

-God of War
-Spiderman
-Final Fantasy VII Remake
-Death Stranding
-Detroit
-The Last of Us Part II

Also plays:
-Kingdom Hearts III
-Horizon
-The Witcher III
-GTA V
-Bloodborne
-etc

Also you can get a PS4[Pro] for $399 if you're really interested in graphics. Get the regular PS4 for $249 if you want to save money. My PS4 definitely gets more playtime than my PC...

Yeah thats why I advised them to get the Corsair 550w Gold psu, but tbh it is true that 450/500w from a reasonable PSU maker will more than suffice their needs.
SSSadistic said:

Huntkey isn't perceived that well in terms of quality and its unlikely that you will actually get 500W from it but they are China's biggest PSU builder, in my opinion if you can buy something from a more reputable brand such as Seasonic, XFX, EVGA, Corsair, Antec, Thermaltake etc it would be a lot safer.

z170 boards don't work with kabylake cpus (iX 7XXX) unless you install bios update (which is impossible to do unless you already have a skylake cpu on-hand)

You're getting a locked cpu, so don't get any z boards anyway, since those are for OC'ing.

Just get a decent budget board, like h-series from MSI or something around ~100$.

I'd honestly suggest you go ryzen since the i5 line is pretty much dead in the water at this point unless you can get them for cheap, but it's really up to you. If you did that, you can save a little money on the cpu, spend that on getting a 1060, and upgrade to a fatter ryzen later if/when you need to.

They are the same thing so go for the cheaper one, all 1050ti's have 4gb DDR5. Only differences would be clock differences. However in this case they are the exact same graphics card made by ASUS.

It should come with a cooler since its non-k. If it doesn't you can just get a cheap stock one for like 10$ on amazon. The two gpus should be the same as well.

how much is your budget?

Ryzen 7 1700 is a 8-core CPU and around 300+ US dollars
Ryzen 5 1600 is a 6-core CPU and around 200+ US dollars

if you are going for Ryzen (or AMD) i suggest you wait for AMD Vega GPU that will be release next month i heard since it will be for future 4K gaming

I'd give the 1050ti a miss personally and go for a rx570 or higher. Have you looked for second hand parts too?

If your good with computers and frakensteining them you can get a hp or dell refurb with an i7 4770 or even 6700 non k and add a gpu to it. They can be had cheap on sales every now and again from eBay. Psu and case size is the usually the limiting factor.

That's good for a new pc. I recently just got one someone. It was a fujistu PC with a 4770 (non k) 500gb hdd and 8gb of ram. Came with windows 7 for £250. It's refurbed but I threw in an ssd I had sitting there and it flyes. I know you can usually get really really good deals in the US. I need another PC soon for a CCTV build and in the US everyone seems to get a decent pc with a 6700 for under $350.

I wish those prices existed in the UK you're so lucky would cost an arm and a leg here...

There's no real difference, internals are generally cheaper and easy to fit into the case, whilst externals you can use not only with your desktop but also your laptop with easy switching so its up to you really as it relies on usb connection.

another note regarding ram:
video regarding ram speeds:

tl;dw: getting a lower clocked ram is perfectly fine. with a higher clocked memory, you're paying a premium price for a negligible or barely noticeable increase in performance.

so should I go for DDR4-2133 or 2400?

It doesn't really matter, just go for cheaper one, which should be 2133.
