The Pentium is back, baby.
The Kaby Lake Pentium G4560 is the new king of budget gaming CPUs. The G4560, and big brothers G4600 and G4620, offer gaming performance similar to CPUs costing hundreds more. I put together a maximum performance for value $500 build, pairing the G4560 with the powerful RX 480. This build will handle even demanding modern games at 1440p.
$500 1440p Gaming Build
这个构建设计提供最大的原始力量and value for a modest budget. With the graphics turned all the way up, this build will be able to get a smooth 60+ FPS in almost all games at 1080p resolution. Most games will even get 60 FPS at 2560×1440 resolution (1440p), including demanding games like Battlefield 1 and GTA V. The absolute most demanding games will dip below 40 FPS though, such as recent Total War games and The Witcher 3.
CPU:G4560, $64
The star of the show. 3.5 GHz dual core with Hyper-Threading, 3MB cache. (Sounds a lot like an i3…)
G4560具有similar average gaming performance to an i3-6100，这已经是一个巨大的价值游戏CPU，价格约为120美元。由于我们将通过此版本获得最大的赚钱表现，因此我们将使用CPU随附的库存供应量。
一个稍快的选择是G4600。At ~$90, it’s less of a good deal, but still a better value than the even more expensive i3s. The same is true of the$100 G4620。
GPU:RX 480 4GB, $200
TheRX 480 provides enough performance to run almost all games maxed out at 1080p, and most games smoothly at 2560×1440 resolution。Recent driver updatesand price drops make the RX 480 a better deal than either the GTX 1060 3GB or 6GB.
4GB RX 480 vs 8GB RX 480 is a bit tricky. The8GB version usually isn’t any faster, but when it is, it can be as much as 30% faster。考虑到它的成本高25％，只有在您花很多时间玩那些具有很大性能差异的游戏的时间，例如《镜子的边缘催化剂》或《刺客信条》的信条集团，这是值得的。
This XFX RX 480 will run cool and quiet. If you want an even cooler and quieter option, theGTX 1060 6GBis a good option with slightly better performance. Or, for even smoother performance at 1440p in the most demanding games, you could move up to aGTX 1070。
Motherboard:MSI B250 PRO-VD, $70
This compact, nice looking motherboard has M.2 and USB 3.0.
Missing are USB-C, more RAM slots, overclocking support, and the slightly better audio of more expensive motherboards.
If you want a motherboard that adds some of those more future-proof features, theMSI Z270-A Pro是一个不错的选择。
内存：8GB DDR4, $50
We’ll use a single stick of DDR4. This will be a couple percentage points slower than two sticks, but will leave an extra RAM slot open so that we can add more in the future if we want.
SSD：275GB MX300, $85（可选的）
An SSD won’t improve gaming frame rates, so I’m leaving it out of this build. But it will make general use feel faster, like booting up, opening applications, etc. So it’s a highly recommended upgrade. I personally put an SSD in all my PCs.
Feel free to get a larger SSD. If you don’t need a lot of storage space, you exclude the HDD and use only the SSD.
HDD:1TB WD Blue, $50
Feel free to get a different HDD, or one with more space if you’ll want it.
Or just get the optional SSD, and don’t get an HDD at all.
如果您需要更多存储空间，稍后很容易添加HDD。
Power Supply:EVGA 430 W1 80+ Bronze, $35
This is a no frills power supply that will get the job done. It’s an excellent value for the price, with about 80% efficiency, quiet, and reliable.
430W (this build will use less than 300W at full load)
If you prefer something modular, quieter, more efficient, more reliable, and with room for future upgrades, get theEVGA 650 GQ。
Case:Antec VSK4000E, $31
Basic, compact case. Nice looking and reasonably easy to build in. A little flimsy, but better than most options at this price.
A slightly more sturdy option that is harder to build in, check out the分形设计核心1100 $ 35。
For a gorgeous, higher quality case, get theNZXT S340。小心，它没有任何DVD驱动器的空间。
This build is a fantastic value, and will out performprebuilt systems costing twice as much。但是，它肯定会削减角落，以提供所有的游戏能力，以少的钱。如果您想要一个更安静，更容易升级的，更多的将来的证明计算机可以通过视频编辑等不同的任务来完成更好的选择，请查看我们main build recommendations。
