well if you know what you want then buy it.
I was more or less trying to get it back into your budget without losing performance.

though my link was the wrong one either way, was to be this...

I do plan on buying it, my concerns were regarding the questions mostly. I'm not looking for someone to build it for me I was concerned with technical aspects regarding mobo choice, price performance on the 580 vs 590, and 500 or 600w depending on gpu.
I'm shooting for around 1000$ before taxes.

mini itx is more expensive to build and alot have limited airflow so u have to use an AIO, full atx imo is for people who either have, custom loop, tons of hdd's or extra pcie cards..

so imo micro atx is becoming the standard.. they are the cheapest and still offers everything most people need..

anyway, nice build.. i would probably go for the asus mobo, asus gpu and a samsung ssd

I would keep an eye out for 1060 on Amazon Canada as it floats around 250-300 on sale. Also if pubg is ur main priority, I'd go intel cuz I couldn't stand the frame drops on my Ryzen so I gave it away and went from shaft baldness to shaft bush. Otherwise Ryzen is Gucci overall

I believe for budget builds micro atx wins as well, in most cases I increase the build cost without increases performance at by going to atx or mini unless I'm willing to sacrafice case selection and mobo. No doubt in my mind I'll be going mATX. Thanks!



Being a team red guy to my core, I just cant see myself buying a non rx model gpu :).
I'm definitely aware that siding with red still has its disadvantages atm but I like the general direction AMD is going and it's nice to see that there offering components that aren't as inferior to Intel as they were say during the bulldozer piledriver era. Closing the gap slowly and hopefully completely.
I'd feel like I was cheating if I bought intel lol, as silly as that sounds.

I'd say pubg is definitely a game I enjoy but is not my go to.
I can currently play it on all low settings and I'm fine with that and I spend more time on space engineers then anything which I feel will benefit a lot from this upgrade.

Out of curiosity, the Aorus board is the cheapest and the only one that offers an upgraded audio (892 vs 887)and ethernet controller over the msi and asus. Can anyone comment on just how useful that really is or if a general user would notice either?

Also I've heard horror stories about gigabytes Bios but I've never owned a board so cant personally comment. My current Asrock 970 am3+ board is old af and still working wonderfully but I've read some horrible reviews regarding the b450m Pro4 which is what's keeping me from just grabbing another one based on my current experience.

Also the monitor is Freesync

that doesn't matter much anymore.

Yeh but it's nice to take advantage of it if I can and falls directly into my build which is alright.



Side note, I came across the InWin 101 TUF gaming alliance case and I'm not usually one for too much flash but fuck it's got me considering a mid tower right now...

Throw a set of Team TUF 8gb ddr4 3200/16 sticks in there with the asus b450m TUF board with yellow fans...

I drooled a little.
