I have put together a PC for myself, is that ok?

Have a nice day, I plan to buy a PC. It should be for school, but also for gaming in between (for CSGO and Fortnite should run smoothly on medium settings. I definitely didn't want a finished PC because I've heard that they are supposed to be bad and the price is not justified. The price should be a maximum of 500 euro. What do you say about this PC in the shopping cart and are there any suggestions for improvement?: It shouldn't necessarily be more expensive there, but maybe you still have tips.

Er

We can't see your shopping cart via the link because it is your shopping cart and not ours.

St

Oh, that's bad, do you happen to know how I can change this?

Er

You managed it.

St

Yep

Er

The graphics card looks like real garbage and the cooler is 3 sizes too big, take the cooler that comes with the CPU or the dark rock 2 and invest the money you save in the graphics.

St

Which graphics card can you recommend to me that is not over 100 euro?

I'll have a look at the cooler.

Er

I have the same CPU and with the Dark Rock 2 it stays nice and cool and whisper-quiet, with the boxed cooler it is also sufficiently cooled, just ticking louder, graphics card I would look for a GTX 1060 or RX 570-580, best nothing under 6GB of storage.

St

Mindfactory does not offer Dark Rock 2, but what do you say about be quiet! Dark Rock 4 Tower cooler? And the graphics card is unfortunately way too expensive for me. A medium-strength graphics card would be sufficient, which should also be good and where price performance should be right would be a Zotac.

Er

The Dark Rock 4 is 2 sizes too big and would be a waste of money, take the box cooler first and if it bothers you at some point you will exchange it later or keep it.
the 1030 is a pure office card and just with 2GB RAM so the lowest thing there's, take at least a 1050 with 4GB RAM otherwise the end of the flagpole is reached very quickly.

St

But that also means that I need a good power supply with 500 watts or so and is also money. Can you please send me a link to Dark Rock 2.

St

I would like to hear your opinion on my chosen case because it is really cheap and what I have found now has fans, so I ask myself whether the fans are sufficient or whether I need some more? https://www.idealo.de/...quiet.html

So: With 240GB of storage, you won't get very far. You can save a new AAA game on it and then the SSD is full. It's best to use a 1TB hard drive.

The CPU cooler is good, but not the best in this price range.

If you want to save money, the LC Power LC CC 95 will do the same, the LC Power LC CC 120 has more cooling capacity than the be quiet! For around 20 euro.

I would definitely not use the graphics card. The GTX 1050ti is already 4 years old. Instead, take an RX 5500XT or a GTX 1650 Super.

at the moment I would recommend this to you: https://geizhals.de/...WL-1841635

Here is a 1TB QLC SSD inside, then only a quad core, but 3rd generation with PCIe 4.0. Hence the B550 board so that the RX 5500XT gets the 8 PCIe Gen 4.0 lanes. The RAM is the same as the power supply. The case is a very cheap one, but has mesh on the front

St

Thank you for your effort, I'll take a look at the cooler that you suggested to me, with the housing you have planned I don't necessarily need it because I don't build an RGB in it anyway and it is only under the table anyway. The graphics card is a bit too expensive for me. I already thought about the 1TB SSD but I think I save a lot of money if I keep the one I have in there and a 1TB HDD, because they are much cheaper. What do you say about my configuration with the power supply, whether the wattage is enough or whether I should rather install a 450-500 watt?

Ba

The power supply is sufficient, but I would definitely use a different GPU than the 1050ti in your place
