Pc building in Cape Town

Evetech is an okay seller, you'll get your goods delivered. The problem is if you need a warranty return.

Also the 1600X is the previous (first) generation Ryzen chip. It'll still be good for years to come, but I prefer to buy current-gen stuff whenever I do. Lasts longer that way IMO.

I still think is better to buy a cheap GT 1030 Gddr5 card, pick one up for R650 second hand. It runs Fortnite on 1080p high. It's weak in new AAA titles but will still be playable on low settings.

If OP doesn't play Fortnite then he is pretty much screwed by definition.

Yeah true that. I'm not a hardcore gamer. As long as the game is playable, i have no problem with it. Not a fan of a million fps. Lol. As long as it runs smoothly, i'm good to go.

A 2600 can be had for R3k and I'd much rather go for that with a B450 MB.
RX 570 & RX 580 are R2300-R2500

And then there's that no name 400W PSU included with the case which makes my skin crawl...

I would spend a little bit more and go with r5 2600, B450, RX 580 8GB
