Budget pc build 20228/16/2023 ![]() Many manufacturers such as Razer, Cooler Master, and Logitech provide peripheral bundles that come with a keyboard and a mouse, and sometimes a headset. On a more budget oriented build we’d recommend finding a peripheral bundle of sorts. However, there’s a fine balance when picking out peripherals to ensure you get the best value for money. And then a good headset and a monitor will provide a competitive advantage within your games. You’ll need a mouse and keyboard to navigate the BIOS to install Windows. ![]() We’re hoping that AMD’s RDNA 3.0 cards will be better than some of their previous renditions, but we’ll need to wait for these cards to release first!Īfter finishing your build you’ll want to pick out some peripherals along with a monitor to finalise your setup. Making the RTX 3060 a better bang for buck GPU when it comes to performance versus pricing. AMD‘s cheaper graphics cards can be a bit hit and miss at times, and although the RX 6650XT is a good competitor to the 3060, AMD didn’t price the MSRP of this card very competitively. With the launch of the RTX 3000 cards, the amount of supported games increased drastically making Nvidia the king of anti-aliasing and resolution scaling.ĪMD vs Nvidia is a small argument that we can segue into, and for a budget build I’d currently side with Nvidia. And in performance mode frames can soar even higher giving you a significant boost at higher resolutions with much less performance overhead. DLSS 2.0 saw improvements to image quality providing better clarity to surfaces and lighting. One of the biggest benefits to picking up an RTX 3000 card was the massive improvement to DLSS. In relation to storage this can involve picking up a cheaper NVMe drive, and maybe a SATA SSD for your less-used games. A big part of building a cheaper PC is upgrading over time. 500GB of storage is plenty to install your operating system along with some of the main games that you play, but won’t last forever. We would also recommend potentially picking up more storage in the near future for this build. When Gen5 storage mediums enter the market we’ll look to put Gen4 drives in our builds once they’ve dropped in price, but the SN570 provides a great balance between performance and price. Gen4 drives on the other hand are just far too expensive for the budget of this build, and realistically they’re not needed. Although a SATA drive would have been perfectly fine, they require extra cables and screws to install, and overall they just don’t look good in a build anymore. The reason we’ve picked out this Gen3 drive as opposed to a Gen4 option or SATA is a mixture of performance and pricing. ![]() On the rear IO you’ll find two WiFi 6E antennae allowing you to reduce any cable clutter and experience high speed WiFi without connection drops and lag stutters. The biggest selling point of this motherboard is its WiFi capability. ![]() ![]() There’s also one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A port, along with two USB 3.2 Gen1 ports too. On the rear IO, this board sports a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port rated up to 20GB/s. This board doesn’t have an integrated IO shield, presumably to slim down costs, but you’ve got plenty of rear and front IO to plug in various accessories and peripherals. This means for those of you holding out for a 4060, or 4060Ti, this motherboard will support it! Storage expansion is also very promising with the B660 DS3H supporting two Gen4 M.2 SSD Slots giving you the option to install blazing fast drives. Looking at expansion, and the main PCI-E x16 slot is compatible out of the box with the Gen4 standard giving you a range of access for a new graphics cards upgrade. You can increase the clock speed to 5333MHz at maximum giving you a performance boost in a variety of games and applications. In terms of features, you’ve got access to high speed memory overclocking with the four DDR4 DIMM slots. Suggested Article: Z690 vs B660 Motherboards – What are the key differences? ![]()
