Hey fa/g/s, can you take a look at my build and tear it apart and let me know how stupid I am with better alternatives? It's my first version of this build and I want to be able to play overwatch as cheaply as possible. My current comp is a laptop since I had to give me old desktop away due to moving.

Anyway you should save and spend more.
$200 more would make a huge difference, that will have problems running overwatch.
If you want just a cheap computer that werks what you have right now its enough.

>AMD CPU
>>54606896
is it the video card that's going to run into problems?
>>54606915
Thank you, I love the idea of being a hot british girl. But yes, I'm also being cheap
>>54606916
No, the CPU:
https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/7636
Apparently the game is really CPU intensive, the X4 wont be enough for it.
Save for a FX 8XXX CPU or get a I5-4460 or 6400.

Give: http://www.logicalincrements.com/ a read if you want to check prices.
>>54606687
Put more money in your CPU otherwise you're in good shape. I take it you plan to buy other parts at a later date?
Keep in mind this is probably the worst time to buy a GPU
>>54607037
Yes thats the idea. Why are they coming out with updates soon?
>>54607064
AMD are revealing new consumer cards on June 1st. So cards in that segment are likely to drop in price.
>>54606965
And to leave it easy.
Get a HDD instead a SSD if you are on a budget, Overwatch is 35GB, it will eat 1/4 of your SSD, the other 3/4 will be used by windows and other programs.
Dont buy a videocard yet.
Get a mid-high tier CPU, play with the IGPU for a while.
Cheap but good motherboard.
EVGA 500B PSU.

I'm assuming he's going to buy a HDD relatively soon, I'd say the performance gains are worth having to horde memory for a couple weeks

Why is that girl typing on an Epson ink jet?

Thank you beautiful people. I made some changes and updates, how badly did I disappoint you /g/entlemen?

>>54607170
Dont cheap out in your PSU, get a good one, a cheap one would be EVGA 500B.
NZXT case is better, or get another cheap case like HAF912 or Rosewill challenger.
Get a I5-6400 instead, its cheaper.
Dont buy ASRock motherboards.
DDR3 memory doesnt work with Skylake CPUs, you need DDR4.
PC gaming is expensive, i know.
>>54607170
Gotta change the RAM to DDR4

Boo, you're raining on my being cheap parade,
New update. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8MMkvK
>>54607305
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4Hhmyc
$40 cheaper.
>>54607340
>http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4Hhmyc
That's what I'm talking about! Though I'm keeping my old case.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Dqyvgs
>>54607394
This is fine for overwatch. What video card?
>>54607394
Well any other way i can think of making it cheaper would be get a I3-6100($110 instead $180) and cheaper case.
But i would recommend you to keep the I5.
You might want to wait for the new videocards to come out.
The current new ones are out of your budget ($300+).
Try asking for more help on the build threads and /sqt/.
>>54607394
>http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Dqyvgs
don't get the meme case mate, get the 200r
>>54607418
No vidya card yet, apparently I'm supposed to wait until the new cards come out and everything drops. Though from what I understand overwatch should be alright since it's cpu intensive, not vidya card.
>>54607436
'preciate the help! thanks
>>54607443
get something like this for a cheap build

>>54607456
Love it, added it.
Here's my most current build for anyone who wants a cheap build.

Don't listen to these people. This type of shit will have you waiting forever. Just buy the memeforce and play your games.
I need help picking a power supply for this plus a GTX1070.
>http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LftGBm
I know the basics of picking power supplies but I don't know how to calculate my needs from a list of parts.
also general feedback and whatnot
>>54608301
I have questions about power supplies too. Even if I go dual SLI I barely get to 500W. Do people only need the big 750W+ power supplies for things like water cooling and overclocking?
bump because I want /g/ to be about building PCs and not shopping for tablets
