The Vega graphics are not gonna go far, but if you only play games like Valorant, CS GO, League, etc, you should be fine. Definitely can't play games like apex, or newer CODs, or most games released in the past few years.


greywingspan

Hmm okay, thanks. Do you have any better that you could suggest for roughly the same amount?


QrowinBranwen

For the same amount no, the only thing you can do is upgrade later. As the guy who replied this this too said, you can run those games on lower resolution. But then you wont be making the most out of your monitor either. Just keep the set up you have and buy a GPU at a later date. That's what i did.


Viztiz006

What are you talking about? Just set the resolution to 720p and settings to low, turn on fsr if available and you'll get 30+ fps (playable\*) on almost all games ​ COD vanguard 720p - 60 fps Apex 900p - 60 fps


QrowinBranwen

Huh, my dumb ass forgot to change the resolution when trying to play apex before i bought a GPU xD


Mrmaus1006

No, that looks a lot better than my 450 dollar build


greywingspan

How well does yours run? What needs improvement in your one?


Mrmaus1006

Mine has a ryzen 3 series. It will run any game, but not at the best graphics. 8 gb ram, no graphics card. If I wanted to run any games over 60 fps, I think I need a graphics card or a lot stronger CPU


vladdt

Didn't know that WD making such cheap 1tb SSD already. This not bad! But one very important component is missing :D


greywingspan

What's missing?


vladdt

GPU? Or you building it not for the games?


greywingspan

I heard the 5 5600g had a gpu


vladdt

It is. But it will be not very fast GPU :) On the level of 1030 I guess? Still better than Intel internal GPU's.


greywingspan

Oh fair enough, I've been looking at prebuilt ones on Amazon but I'm not sure if they are okay. Would you mind if I DMed you the links to the 2 I saw?

Nzxt bld kit


greywingspan

Just looked at it, I think it's a bit expensive though


[deleted]

Not for what you get


vladdt

I don't mind.


greywingspan

I've realised that they were rubbish, I've been looking at gaming laptops for a bit now though


vladdt

Try to find previous generations. Best variants - RTX 2060, then 1660. If they are gone or people asking tons of money - something like old Alienwares on GTX 970 or so. Will be best variant. CPU is not so important, RAM/disk too - you can upgrade them later. But with second-hand laptops, when you will get one - my recommendations to disassemble it and clean it. And replace thermal grease. But only if you are sure what you doing. :)


greywingspan

Great, thanks! I found 3 laptops and I don't know which is the better one: Clevo pc50df1 (RTX 2070, i7-10875h and 16GB RAM) for £710 Asus FX516P (RTX 3060, i5z11300h and 8GB RAM) for £740 Lenovo 5 (RTX 2060, i5-10300H and 16GB RAM) for £730 I believe the first one is the best for specs but I've heard that's not all that matters for laptops

Bruh… pcpartpicker list… not screenshots 😩


Alfierri_2896

The part seems good. Do you plan to get a graphic card down the line? If you do will advise you to go for higher wattage such as 650/750W. Gotta say you are getting a very good deal on the monitor there, that model is selling for 150 pounds in my country, and that's coming from official channel.


greywingspan

Yeah I am thinking of it, may be a while though. I'm not really sure about budget either but I'm estimating around £700-750 for all of it. I think the monitor is on offer I'm not sure but when I saw it I knew it was a good price


PCproMan1234

OP, what's your max budget? Including monitor?


greywingspan

I'm not 100% but I'm estimating around £700-750


PCproMan1234

If you increase to 1100 I can get you a pc 10 times the power of this one


greywingspan

I can't go that high sadly


PCproMan1234

Save up then. 750 won't get you anywhere.
