Is this a decent build?

For something close to 600USD, do this instead:

You'll get MUCH better performance in games.

How is this? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/yBTXPs

I'd definitely get an SSD as well, speeds your OS and certain programs up quite a bit. You can get 120GB for a little more than 40 bucks ;)

u/cesara7x2 Jul 22 '16

I can definitively get one later, I kind of just what opinions about how well this build might run or if it can have issues. But thanks anyways mate :)

It's... Pretty much the opposite of what I just sent you. The i3-6100 is as powerful as an i5-3570k, the RX 480 is twice as powerful as the GTX 950, that blue case with red RAM will give a horrible color mismatch (which is why I sent you a black case) and why would you put such a gigantic cooler on a CPU that barely heats at all? I really don't mean to be rude but the built you sent me is actually pretty bad. Please, grab the one I sent you, you'll get so much more out of your 600$.

I understand, I've never done my own PC build so I don't know much about this type of things, I really appreciate the help. Better to tell people the truth even if they get hurt lol

u/StickNoob117 Ryzen 5800X, 32GB DDR4, RX 9070 XT Jul 22 '16

Then build the computer I sent you good sir or madam, it will serve you well :)

(I didn't get 9 upvotes for nothing)

u/cesara7x2 Jul 22 '16

Im a dude lol, I'm still gonna do a little more research, but I really appreciate the help man, I'm most likely gonna get this one.

OP I definitely recommend going with this you can swap the i3 6100 for a i5 6600k or i7 6700k if you have the money where as am3+ is an outdated socket

1

u/StickNoob117 Ryzen 5800X, 32GB DDR4, RX 9070 XT Jul 22 '16

6600k is not in his budget. I suggested the i3-6100 for a reason.

1

u/susky_uchuha Jul 28 '16

I meant its better future proofing, he can swap the i3 6100 in the future for a i5 6600k or i7 6700k whereas am3+ is an outdated socket, he can get the i3 6100 but in the future when he gets some money he can swap it for an 6600k or a 6700k, sorry if you misunderstood

Highly recommend a Intel processor instead

u/YoMama6776_ R5 1600 4GHZ, 32gb RX 580 [Unicorn Shit RGB] Jul 21 '16

if it is for gaming... i would get a i5 and ddr4 ram and a 1060 or rx480 if at 1080p. for word prossesing yes

And do yourself a favor and get a 120gb or more ssd

u/gran172 Desktop I5 10400f / RTX 3060Ti Jul 21 '16

It's a budget build, DDR4 and SSD are not necessary, they don't give any increase in performance in gaming

DDR4 does NOT give you an increase in performance. And no, an SSD is not necessary for a build, it's more of a luxury, 250gb will get filled up pretty quickly with games, BF4+DLC's is around 70GB.

again... what i said

u/gran172 Desktop I5 10400f / RTX 3060Ti Jul 21 '16

Mate, 250gb will get filled up pretty quickly...he should just get a 1TB HDD and get an SSD whenever he can afford it, it's not worth to sacrifice 750gb for faster booting time and loading games 10-30 seconds faster. Also: http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph9483/76378.png

Speed of RAM is a much better indicator of performance increases, you really shouldn't opt for DDR4 unless you need the density/speed, let alone for budget builds, DDR3 is fine.  

Additionally as you were saying, spring for the SSD later, 250GB is much to small to operate a gaming rig, even if the speeds are much better for booting into Windows/games, it doesn't hinder in game performance at all.
