First PC Build on a Tight Budget Thoughts?
Hey guys, I’m planning my first PC build and I just wanted to get some opinions before I finally buy everything. My budget is kinda tight so I decided to go with an APU first instead of buying a dedicated GPU right away. I’ll probably add a GPU later once I save up more.
Specs:
Ryzen 5 5600GT
Gigabyte B550MH motherboard
T-Force Vulcan Z 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz
MSI 650W Bronze PSU (non modular)
Kingston 500GB NVMe SSD
Deepcool AK400 cooler
Inplay Openview V300 case with 3 fans
Peripherals:
ViewSonic VX2479-HD-PRO monitor
Attack Shark M86 wireless keyboard
Attack Shark X11 wireless mouse
Attack Shark L80 Pro wireless headset
Popcorn RGB soundbar speaker
Total is around ₱43k including peripherals.
I mainly plan to use it for:
casual gaming (Valorant, CS2, DOTA 2, LoL)
Lightweight Photo/Video Editing
Movie/Series Marathon
I know the 5600GT isn’t the strongest for gaming without a GPU, but for now I just need something decent while saving up for a dedicated graphics card.
Do you guys think this build is good for the price?
Anything I should replace or improve before I buy it?
Also wondering if the 650W PSU is enough for future GPU upgrades.
Additional note: all the prices I used are based on Shopee listings, so prices may still vary depending on vouchers, sales, or stores.
Would appreciate any suggestions or honest opinions.
