Neither Roblox nor FNAF (unless you're talking about Security Breach) are demanding, so I imagine the cost to build a rig for what you need wouldn't be expensive.
#Building a PC on a tight budget
minor plover
It's for a friend
It's a fun idea
for a birthday, for a gift everyone would bring a PC part and it'd be put together
so
relatively cheap per part
i think maybe not over 150-200 on the cpu or gpu
minor plover
What were you thinking budget-wise?
well right now we were going for a build with no GPU, just built in graphics but wasn't really sure how well it would work with OBS or streaming programs
total was 360
ish
what do you think
astral tulip
What parts have you already picked out?
minor plover
lemme send you the pcpartpicker link
astral tulip
Alright thanks.
minor plover
honestly, just the cheapest stuff we could find that were decent
just the cheapest build on r/buildapcforme with a switched motherboard for built in wifi and a switched case
astral tulip
In all honesty that’s a pretty solid build, but I’d try and get a dedicated GPU so that they can encode off of it.
minor plover
mm okay
that was what i was looking for
i was thinking 1650
but not exactly sure
jovial perch
Get the 1650 super
astral tulip
My friend had the same setup with a GTX 1650, and it works pretty well.
jovial perch
If you end up going for a gou thats budget
jovial perch
ou
jovial perch
I mean you said future proofing so you could still go with a regular 1650
jovial perch
Mostly depends on the motherboard
minor plover
am4 which is a meh but am5 is so expensive that even im on am4
2 pcie x16 slots
so i think that means 2 gpu slots?
astral tulip
AM5 is pretty new, but AMD usually stretches its platform for several generations instead of two like Intel does.
But if budget is your concern, then that CPU with a 1650 should work well.
jovial perch
Yea, would work with the games you wanna play
minor plover
think GPU clearance is gonna be a problem in the future?
jovial perch
Probably not
astral tulip
Not really, if they stick to 50-Class or 60-Class cards from NVIDIA.
jovial perch
You got a solid case
astral tulip
Don't forget a cooler for the CPU, btw.
minor plover
would the 5600 be better over the 5600g?
minor plover
Don't forget a cooler for the CPU, btw.
stock cooler 
jovial perch
isnt the g a mobile cpu
astral tulip
stock cooler <:thumbsup:1150104023043678349>
Stock cooler FTW!
astral tulip
G is integrated graphics.
jovial perch
Oh
astral tulip
I think.
astral tulip
I'm not too familiar with AMD CPUs.
minor plover
anyways, google says it's better cause of caching and stuff
jovial perch
I guess
astral tulip
I'm not too familiar with AMD CPUs.
Only one I've had was an FX-8350 in my old system.
jovial perch
You could go with an intel type if you get a better cooler, since intel has more cpu optimization
jovial perch
Strongly depends on what you wanna do on it
minor plover
i think they're only using it for day to day use and not too intensive games
oh and streaming said games
jovial perch
Amd would work
astral tulip
i think they're only using it for day to day use and not too intensive games
Then it'll do.
I used to stream on an FX-8350 and a GTX 950.
I wasn't playing anything intense.
minor plover
slightly prefer amd cause of mindless brand loyalty
which is kinda disorienting since i have that same slight preference towards nvidia for gpus
what specific uses would intel be better than amd for?
astral tulip
I've been told they're usually better at multitasking.
AMD typically has better performance in games.
minor plover
ah
would video editing be better on intel?
mind you nothing like 4k editing or anything like that
jovial perch
Both cards work fine for the use, intel handles the tasks more efficient
minor plover
okay
jovial perch
Yea intel has more cores and logical cores if that counts
astral tulip
I looked it up and it seems the i5-12600, but I couldn't say for certain.
jovial perch
id stick with amd honestly
minor plover
ok

will i have to worry about buying more fans?
i dont really want to install extra fans so a case with a lot of preinstalled fans would be great actually
jovial perch
Check the compatibility with them
astral tulip
The compatibility issues listed on the site say you'd need to update the motherboard's BIOS for the CPU to work.
astral tulip
will i have to worry about buying more fans?
If they're playing the games you said, I'd imagine the system will run pretty cool just because they aren't resource intensive.
Just make sure you have at least one intake and one exhaust fan.
spare osprey
I skimmed through, if you aren't running too intensive of games you could probable do like a ryzen G processor build. Like dont get a gpu, just one of the ryzen integrated grahics CPU's and then later down the line the direct upgrade path would be to just get a dedicated GPU.
The integrated graphics of those ryzen chips are actually pretty substantial.
Do you have a monitor in mind or know what resolution you would like to be at? Also, do you have a longer list of games you would want to play? You should look up benchmarks using whatever ryzen G CPU and whatever game/resolutions you want to play at.
Also, the motherboard compatibility is a bit worrysome. The motherboard can work with your CPU if its shipped with an updated BIOS, the only issue would be if the bios is not updated yet. Which in order to update your BIOS you need to have a CPU in it, but if the board doesnt support the CPU until after the bios, then you can't update it unless you get your hands on an older cpu.
AMD has loaner CPU's you can get to do this update. https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-105#faq-Short-Term-Processor-Loan-Boot-Kit
They send you one, you do the upgrade, then send it back. Or you could potentially buy one, update it, then return it but idk if I'd recommend that haha.
astral tulip

even a 3600 would be alright
but thats a good list
an rx 6600 would be better gpu
its the exact same price rn
astral basin
3600 + 6600
astral basin
More upgradability than the 5600

I mean you’d get more relative performance from an upgrade to a 5800x3D or something like that

Lookup benchmarks for your games using your CPU and GPU to determine performance. Look on YouTube, they have all sorts of stuff.

Honestly i’d get an RX580 (XFX GTR XXX) it’s faster than the 1650 while being cheaper but if you like Nvidia features which is pretty good for streaming then the 1650 isn’t too bad
amber bison
and downgrade cpu to the 3600
I mean prices are dropping for the 5600 especially in the used market but ig a 3600 is good enough for a budget build
amber bison
It will bottleneck but ig the 3600 would be good though jt will limit the RX6600
I’d get a 5600 either in the used market or when sales come up it’s a way better cpu and i recommend going for an upgrade when the opportunity comes
Overall for a budget build it looks decent
minor plover
It will bottleneck but ig the 3600 would be good though jt will limit the RX6600

it isnt for me so im a bit more worried
cause if the pc is a hot piece of garbage i can live with my mistakes but if someone else has to use it the stakes are much higher
are there any real issues or is it just gonna be unoptimized

yah if you are coming from a old or junky laptop or no pc at all like any pc will blow it out of the water haha, there will always be a million places with hindsight or how the market goes you could have done something slightly better, just work with what you got and dont feel the need to upgrade and keep up.
At the time of purchase my hardware was a little old, but I still run it. I upgraded my storage, I got a larger SSD and a hard drive to go with. I also replaced my memory, because my old memory failed, but other than that my pc is as I built it.
I dont run too intensive or modern modern games, but even if you do get into it, just drop the resolution a little or run 1080p with moderate graphics, all will be good

I still gamed on that old laptop and stuff before I upgraded (haha running fortnite at 720p with 20 fps). It will be soo much better.

should i care about 80+ gold
spare osprey
should i care about 80+ gold
it would be nice. I would say at least have 80+ bronze. do not go lower than that, but with power supplies it more matters if that specific model is good rather than if it has the gold ratings or not.
Ratings can be indicators of nicer supplies, but go on pc part picker and just look at the 80+ bronze (or higher) models that have lots lots of reviews. Those are the ones to get. A cheap or offbrand or even on brand but a worse model can wreck your pc lol

It's a low-wattage GPU, so it'll be a bit cooler.
But if you can snag a two-fan version that'd be better.

the next one is 195
and at that point i'd rather just dish out the extra ten bucks to get a 6600

If they're streaming roblox and fnaf, I doubt the extra performance would matter.
But if you think it's worth it, naturally that's your decision.

Or you could go back and save some by buying a 2060 super
About the same power as a 6600 or a 3060 8gb
206p supers are like what 160?
