Hello

What are you going to use your new build for?

Hello

What are you going to use your new build for?

I’m going to use this computer mainly for gaming. mainly GTA (FiveM) and maybe formula 1 2022

the 450watt power supply ain’t going to cut it I’m afraid.
MSI recommend 400w at least.

I’d be looking at anything with 80+ Gold certification, at least 5 year warranty, and over 650watts.
Corsair, EVGA, and Seasonic all offer 10 year warrantys on their mid to top tiered units.

You also need to up your cpu an i3 is not going to let you play any games except Tetris
You need a minimum i5 intel or Amd X8

Thank you for your response but I’m afraid we are going over my budget. and could you maybe give an example of such a power supply that will pull it off.

Thanks for your response, I had already thought about going for an i5 but was still hesitating. now that you mention it I am sure about this upgrade.

I work with the website; tweakers.net
here then my online link to my list.

[PeterOz]

can you give a link to the web site you used to build your machine

[LucNik_0165]

i used tweakers

[PeterOz]

650w is about 20 euro more
In my opinion only
If you cannot afford to put in minimum i5 and 650W psu
DO NOT BUILD
you will be wasting your money and only have heartache
You are better of waiting and saving money untill you can afford to buy right.

One of the big problems are people using under rated equipment and then overclocking power and ram
Then they are back here wanting help and in the end they have to update what they have.

A v6 car with added turbo or supercharger is still not going to be the same as a v8 - My opinion only

it is above my budget but I am willing to pay for it.

TIPS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!!

[Bruce]

that’s looking at lot better.
should play games nicely. (y)
yes - spend more and you’ll get more, but I think you have a nice balance of performance vs budget with this new parts list.

you should now double check things like sizes - for example, will the graphics card fit?
and compatibility - like, is the NVMe drive, memory, and graphics card all compatible with the motherboard? does the graphics card need extra power and if so does the power supply have those cables?

[PeterOz]

The NMVE and the Ram are not listed on the QVL list - but Brands are just the model numbers
Worth checking the price difference

does the graphics card need extra power and if so does the power supply have those cables?

So true I was looking at a build for someone before and we found the cables were to short
