300 euro gaming pc without GPU


Recommended Posts

Umm, It would greatly help us if we knew a bit more. CPU preference? (do you overclock) Water or air cooling?ATX/mATX/ITX Motherboard? (also chipset) Can you carry over a PSU or Case?

 

About any system from the last few years can take upon the 1060.

Yeah the above 😛

 

Also take a look at pcpartpicker. You can put in components you have (like the graphics) and then find other compatible parts. All the prices are there so you can keep an eye on budget.

Maybe look into a Ryzen 3 or Intel i3 if brand new. Maybe something like an Intel i5 2300K from the used market if you want to get something with better performance - albeit a couple of generations behind-.

A Ryzen 5 2600 is currently about the best price per preformance for AMD. But it might be bit over his budget.

 

As I said above, we need to know more.

Any i7 from 2xxx or 3xxx generation still holds up really well... i5 didn't reach parity until later generations

Any recommendations on pieces to build a gaming pc (300-350 euro budget) enough to handle a 1060 6gb. If it could have 8 gb ram and 1T of storage. Thanks

Get any old used or new PC with an i7 from 2XXX to 9XXX that you can stuff in 16 gig RAM, a Samsung 256 gig 970 M.2 NVMe or 860 SATA SSD, any old HD lying around and your wonderful 1060 you already have.

 

 

 

yeah a  ryzen 5 1600, ryzen 3 2400g

 

...or even a athlon 200GE which can now be overclocked on certain mobo's thats about £100 for both,

 

100 for 3200mhz ram and the biggest ssd you can buy with the money left over

In North America, there is a flood of off-lease 2XXX and 3XXX based computers from HP, Dell and Lenovo. About 30% of them are i7.

 

A super cheap i7 2XXX or i7 3XXX makes a great budget gaming machine. These off-lease surplus PC's are business computers so the i7 mobos usually have 4 DDR3 DIMM slots which can hold 8 gig DIMMs for 32 gig RAM

 

Get computer for $100 and add RAM, GPU (low power 1050 or 1060) and SSD can be better than starting with cheap Mobo, CPU, CPU cooler, Case, PSU...

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
