Multimedia/gaming PC configuration Ryzen

[krampak]

With the guidelines you set out, you just have to play around with the prices, moving more budget towards one component or another.
For the budget, I think we are limited to 8GB of RAM (DDR4 is very expensive) (€100), a Ryzen 5 (model 1600 is very stretched, €190), graphics card 1060 3GB or RX570 (€250), motherboard could be an MSI X370 Gaming Pro or equivalent (€130), the Thermaltake View 21 (€75) is probably a good option, it's very personal, I have the View31 and I'm very happy with it (unlike you, I wanted a big tower), with this we are already at €750 and we still need a power supply (€50-90) and a disk, although you haven't mentioned the latter, perhaps you keep the ones you already have.

Many thanks for the response @krampak, the truth is that the power supply could keep the one I have, but the source cannot. In the case I mentioned, my Cosmos S had a CoolerMaster Silent 1000 but I know it's too much, I suppose that for this type of configuration one of 600/650 W real from a good brand would be enough, right?

[desvest]

@krampak I was playing around with the PC Components configurator and ended up with this configuration. The only difference is that I actually opted for the Thermaltake Versa U21 case, but it's not available at the moment. I chose to put 4GB of memory so I could fit the power supply. I don't know what you think.

Save a little on the power supply by putting for example the Corsair TX650M 650W 80 Plus Gold Semi Modular (€80), and do not go below 8GB of RAM

Regards!

Many thanks also @Fassou for your suggestion. Ask about all this. The idea later would be to put a more powerful graphics card, more RAM and several disks. I think I will never do OC nor SLI or CrossFire. Will that power supply be more than enough for the future?

The new configuration ended up looking like this.

@desvest
Note that the RAM you have put in is for laptops (SO-DIMM). I would personally save a little more on the motherboard (especially if you are not going to overclock) and upgrade the graphics. How about this?
The 650W Gold should be enough for you, even with a 1060 SLI (TDP of 120W per card).

[Fassou]

I am struck by the lack of variety in DDR4 memory you offer. I think you are interested in a 2x4GB kit of at least PC4-24000 CL15, but among those that at least have a delivery date, you almost have to go up to the 117€ of the Corsair Vengeance, or wait for others with a more adjusted price to have a date. Look at this link and sort by price. Salu2!

Perfect @krampak and @Fassou, thank you very much for your help. I think that with these tips there is already enough info for the PC to be assembled. Maybe I will expand the budget a bit more and install an SSD.
Sorry for responding so late, but I think the page had crashed.
Thank you very much for your time and I hope you have a happy new year.

@krampak I've been playing around with the PC Components configurator and ended up with this setup. The only difference is that I actually opted for the Thermaltake Versa U21 case, but it's not available at the moment. I chose 4GB of memory so I could fit the power supply. I don't know what you think.

A pattern I always like to apply is, once you've chosen the best chipset for the motherboard, it's better to invest €50 in CPU, GRAPHICS or RAM than in a better motherboard, unless, of course, you plan to do extreme overclocking.

That is to say, that if instead of that motherboard for €190 (which I think is A BARBARITY) you took one for €130 which are already good enough, and you invest those €60 in +cpu or +graphics, with the same budget you'll have a much better PC.

Motherboards from a certain price only include gamer nonsense, unnecessary additions, integrated wifi, better sound card (although nothing like a dedicated one) and lights.

That's the best advice I could give you, for the rest I think the team is fine if you follow the advice of @Fassou and @krampak

Let me insist a little more that IT'S NOT NECESSARY to spend a lot on the motherboard for "just in case later on you expand it" or whatever, the most expensive motherboard I've ever had was €160 and I didn't notice any difference compared to those of €100-130 except for what I tell you, useless extras and more lights, that is, it had more power phases that helped to seek a little more "extreme" overclocking.

Making a real case of my previous comment, I would leave the budget LIKE THIS:

https://www.pccomponentes.com/configurador/B859E9DeC

Motherboard: as I mentioned before, it's not necessary to go to these prices, in my opinion it's throwing money away unless you seek extreme overclocking, and in that case, you would look for another type of CPU.
Power supply: with a good one of 650W you'll HAVE ENOUGH, you won't be mounting SLI or CROSSFIRE systems, and even if you did, you would have a power supply for that too, this one in particular is the one I've had for 8 years already and it's perfect.
RAM: IMPORTANT! The ryzens are quite affected by the speed of the RAM and INVESTING in putting ram at 3200 is highly recommended, the ideal would be 1 module of 8GB DDR4 at 3200, but I haven't found it.

I put the case because I was forced to, but put the one you like the most.

I hope with this one you'll build a more balanced team and that in the future with putting a more powerful graphics card you'll have a SR. TEAM.

Regards.

Crap, I just saw that the last reply was 14 days ago, I don't know if I arrived on time xD

[desvest]

Jajajaja sisi @rul3s, has arrived on time. I still haven't bought the equipment. That's what I like about Spain, you can plan for the future that things will remain the same or decrease in price. I will take into consideration what they told me about the motherboard so I will invest that surplus in memory and video card.

Good choice, if you do it this way you will have a very good computer!

[desvest]

Hello everyone, how are you? I'm back to this thread. For A or B, I finally couldn't buy the computer at the time... in the middle there were many changes, the budget could be stretched but... we entered the bad time for video cards.
I've put together this configuration, I'm still undecided about the tower (the Phanteks or the Be Quiet Dark Base 700).
The problem is, what video card to put together when nothing is available at the moment... would I have to change some other element?
Thank you very much for your help!
