Games Machine PC Hardware

Hi Snowy.

I seriously think they might struggle with £1000, memory and graphics cards are still silly money, better than they were but not great.

I do still follow PC builds and new tech, don't know if you know but AMD Ryzen 5 CPU's are probably the best bang for buck these days.

To keep the cost down they could get a last years AMD Ryzen 5 1600, it's a six core 12 thread CPU, that would give more ££'s to throw at the GPU.

Example, people love these CPU's, check out the reviews.

Now put one of them on a good B350 mobo, 16GB RAM and an NVidia GTX1070 and you would be looking at this kind of performance in games, It would maxout just about any game.



Just some thoughts 

 

  I watched the vid to see if there was a game I'd like, I'd prefer a wizard maybe dragons and magical things.  Running around shooting people is not for me.  Anyways I have the 1070 hybrid ( water cooled ) but the tubing is to long and I'd like to shorten it, maybe put a clear plastic T in to remove any air.

Not the build I would choose but it's still pretty good and hard to fault, does come down to personal choice.

Agreed it really should have an M.2.

The memory speed doesn't seem to matter as much on them i5's, so he would get away with it. The AMD Ryzen 5's do show noticeable increases in performance with faster RAM.

No way I would put a spinner in it though, the last thing you want to do is run games from HDD 

P.S. These came down £40 since last month. I'll likely buy one soon :

Never heard of the Mushkin brand...

The mother board does have dual M.2, simple enough to put an M.2 in.
Newegg sells Mushkin, I just stuck with the Samsung.
