I am building my budget build finally. Have ordered and received mobo and CPU fan. I'm gonna use like 120 -200 ssd for games and an hdd for other storage. I only play wow

Graphics-I'm in the price range of 150-200 MAX but would prefer to keep as low but efficient as possible.basically this is a value budget build and i have researched tons but the prices haven't matched up to recommendations

Case- black/white/red or any combination of, with a side non reflective mirror. Nothing needing to be flashy but I can't find one under 65-70 to order .just can fit the 212 evo matx board and some fans no water cooling


Disclaimer : this is my first custom build, I have looked up each part so far and their reviews but I don't know the little shortcuts here and there

Perhaps budget is the wrong term to name it . Efficient build? Not going bare minimum or total maximum but going for the best mid range efficient parts

Don't go dual core...
It's 2018, don't get anything worse than this

Probably best bang for buck that will still be usable for 4-5 years (changing only gpu, and maybe adding some ram later on)

gfx card is worse (not by much really..) but cpu is way better.

Overnight that gfx card went from 189 to 300. Which puts me currently looking at a 1030 for minimum budget or a 1050 at 135.

IDK enough about amd graphics with Intel processors. Also I have been debating hedging on ssd for a single hdd to open some room for a better gfx card. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

As for other processor /mobo suggestions, thank you, but I kind of have my heart set on my current selection. It's what I have spent lots of time researching and reading reviews and have yet to see a single negative review on the Pentium

I read something about how they interact with each other, which made me steer away from them. I must have misinterpreted it though . Plus most builds and videos I have looked up feature the 1030,1050,or 1050ti so I'm just more familiar with them


What is an amd equivalent to a 1050 ti?

there really is none, rx 560 is a bit slower (-20%), rx 570 is a fair bit faster (+50%)
