Heyo peeps,

we all know that one special moment, you're playing a game like League of Legends, you're getting tired of it and want something new?
What u do? You gonna get a new Game lets say.... PUBG.
You're installing it you're happy as F**k but yeah... you only got like 10 FPS.:banghead:

That's what my little brother had to go through.

So the time has come to upgrade his system.

The partlist:
Cpu: Ryzen 5 1600X
MoBo: B350 Strix Gaming
RAM: 16GB 2666MHZ Corsair LPX
GPU: 1050 Ti Gaming OC later 1070
Cooling: Corsair AiO H60
Case: Zalmann Z11+ Blue
PSU: Corsair HX750

Future parts:
HDD --> SSD
1050 --> 1070



Everything arrived today (except the 1050ti) lets head over to the building part.

I kinda like the Zalmann Z11 Design. Its big enough to keep the cable management clean.



Let's check the MoBo





The CPU

The Ram's

The 1050 Ti / Drives should arrive saturday.

I just did a build for my nephew with an old 2500k as well. It's amazing how much it can handle still at 1080p with a cheap 1050 ti lol

Thats true, atm he's running an 3770 non K but his MoBo is a modded MSI MoBo for Medion ( it cant handle UEFI gpu's) + he will have to use CAD soon.
So i decided to get him a completely new system. Ryzen should do its job... hopefully :laugh:

Everythings runs smooth. Even PUBG is playable. Medium settings brings around 50-60fps.

The H60 also does quite a good job. 2h full Load max 53°C

Tweak the ram if you can, will boost your FPS.
