BEST 650$ PC BUILD 2017

The major event in the PC market this year was the release of AMD's Ryzen line of processors.
This year the PC market is very different. Last year if you wanted a budget PC you would be buying a dual core i3 processor but know you buy either the Pentium G4560 or AMD Ryzen 1200 processor.
So, due to this change in PC market I decided to make a Budget PC guide for 2017.

 So these are the components i will be using:
NOTE THAT PRICE CAN CHANGE OVERTIME

 1.Processor:
  • Name: AMD R3 1200
  • Price: 110$
  • Link                                                                            
  • Reason: This processor is the cheapest quad core with a decent IPC, making it a great bang for the buck.
We Will not be buying a separate cooler with the R3 as the stock cooler is good enough.

2.Video Card:

  • Name: Gigabyte Ge Force GT-X 1060 3 GB
  • Price: 224$
  • Link

  • Price: 68$
  • Link
  • Reason: G. Skill is a reliable brand for RAM. The 1 x 8 GB Ram configuration should allow you to easily put 32 GB of RAM in the system in the future.

  • Name: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hard Drive
  • Price: 50$
  • Link
  • Reason: With only 50$ to spend on the storage, a hard drive will more preferred than an SSD with only 120 GB of storage.

  • Price: 60$

Another problem was that you could not transfer files between PC platforms unless you had a Bluetooth dongle, but now it is incredibly easy to transfer files due to the introduction of certain applications. There are a large number of file transfer apps but the most widely supported across different platforms is Share It . Supported Platforms: 1. Android 2. IOS 3. Windows 4.

HOW RYZEN CHANGED THE PC MARKET

Image
