Here's what I came up with swapping out the 3700X for a 3600:
PCPartPicker Part List
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($194.13 @ Walmart)
Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard ($168.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory...
That's an interesting proposition for this build. While I will use this machine for other computing type applications from time to time, I doubt it will be anything heavy enough to warrant the extra power of the 3700X if the performance drop in gaming wouldn't be very noticeable. Dropping down...
I thought I saw the red 32GB set as compatible on the G.Skill site, but evidently I was thinking about or seeing something else. Thanks for that catch. I may drop down to 16GB and/or get the 750 depending on how close to budget I end up. Interested to see if anyone has any feedback on the 5700...
@Steltek I took your suggestion on the motherboard and swapped out the one I originally picked with another one that seems comparable, but doesn't have Wifi and is ~$100 cheaper (per PCPartPicker)
I also took @Markfw 's suggestion on the EVGA PSU (I assume 650W is fine instead of the 750W in...
Wow, thanks for the detailed suggestions! What other boards would be good to use here? I'll be honest, I pretty much went to the Holiday 2019 Motherboard guide on the main site and took the recommendation for Gaming/Performance there. I'm not really set on any particular part, so if there are...
Looking to replace the system I built in 2012 (as noted here). This one would probably be around for the next 5-7 years as well.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Primarily for gaming. My kids like to play Fortnite and I like all sorts of...
I'm looking to buy/build a PC for my family (read: kids) as a family Christmas present this year. It will be used primarily for internet/Word/Excel with gaming as a close second. My older kids enjoy playing Fortnite (among other games), so I'd like it to be able to run that game reasonably well...
Thank you for the recommendations. I read somewhere that Seasonic makes the Corsair PSUs. Are any of the 650W Corsair models worth considering along with the Rosewill or Seasonic?
The exhaust fan on my PSU died, so I'm in the market for a new one as I figure no exhaust fan will lead to overheating and PSU death soon. My current PSU is an Antec 850 TruePower Quattro and I'm pretty sure the 850W is overkill for my setup, but wouldn't mind confirmation on that. Here's what I...
I have an Antec full tower case and an Antec 800 or 850 watt PSU (can't remember and not near the box) that I am reusing from my current rig. My heart is not set on 16 GB, I just figure that RAM is so cheap, why not get 16. The only reason I thought I'd go with the extra ports on the Pro4 is...
