You are using almost the same setup as me. Ryzen 5 2600X / Gigabyte B450M / 16 GB RAM / RX 570 (4 GB) / 1TB Hybrid HDD / 650 W Corsair PSU / Thermaltake H18 case. Nice.
6
Hope it serves you well.

It’s a good build that didn’t break the bank too bad. Although I wish I would’ve gotten 8 GB GPU. but there’s anyways room for improvement. I hope you enjoy yours as well.
4
I want to get the 8gb again.
2
Nice all AMD
3
I like the case. I like it having very few bright flashing colours, imo makes it very stylish
2
Which Deep Cool case? My PC has to be on my left due to the desk layout, which means I need a case with a right side window to enjoy the RGB
2
The pic is mirrored, so his window is on the left side as well.
Edit: Looks to be the Matrexx 30

Sick rig... save for a used gtx 1070 and sell your 580. It’s great at the 200$ price point. Still better than 1660 ti. And if you picked Radeon for freesync monitor, Nvidia works with gsync on a freesync monitor with a displayport cable.
If I upgrade my gpu this spring, I’ll sell you my 1070 for 100$. It works amazingly. Completely kicks the ass of the 580 I upgraded from. The 2600 is a completely fine processor for the next few years. And you could get a second hand 3700X or 3800X when you want to upgrade in a year or two.

Hopefully I'll have the Money by then for a better graphics card.

I recommend the rx 5700 in 2-3 years time

The RX 580 is by no means bad. Just saying a 1070 would be great upgrade while still being affordable. Just enjoy your rig for now and look at those monitors I sent as your first upgrade!

Out of curiosity and me being a noob to this stuff what is Cinebench and Unigine Heaven? I'd assume they are some kind of pc monitoring tool like speccy

Yes they both are Benchmark tools... CineBench is a tool use to measure CPU performance by using CPU intensive tasks like Rendering While Unigine Heaven is for GPUs....it uses a 3D testing system to test GPU performance

Hey man just got to your other post, and read your main comment. I have a couple of comments/questions:
-
Hey, you have my exact same build! High five!
-
How is the electricity produced, since you export it to Rwanda and other countries? Do you have coal reserves? How much would you say your country is turning to renewables?
-
About the network speed: I read that you have the choice to go from 10 to 100mbps, so far so good, it's as in every other country. But what server do you connect to, to have the least latency? Which route does your connection take to get, for example, to an European server? I doubt it circumnavigates Africa, it must pass through Egypt, right?
-
I hope the PC Master race can spread even more in Africa! Enjoy your gaming, friend!
118
These are Good questions..and I'll answer to the best of my abilities Glad we are PC mates(guys with the same PCs) We use Hydroelectric power Generation ie we have dams with massive Turbines. I think Hydropower is renewable. We have one of the oldest and biggest Dams in Africa Called Nalubaale Dam I personally don't play lots of multiplayer cause I enjoy playing alone but from my friends that play. ,They say that they connect to European Servers.
160
Yeah I understand you, I lost interest in multiplayers in the last few years as well, now I mainly play card games/autobattlers if I want to compete.
I'm glad that your country has the possibility of producing so much electricity with a renewable source, it removes the need for fossil fuels and hypothetically you guys will get to carbon neutrality faster than us in the northern hemisphere.
63
We have very little Carbon emissions compared to the States or Europe. My country is also covered in greenery lots of reserves and Forests because they are considered part of our beauty. It's why we were called the Pearl of Africa.

Uganda is sooo beautiful, and the people so nice, but the air quality there seriously is painful on some days. How do you deal with it?

Have you ever heard of who killed captain Alex?

My country is also covered in greenery lots of reserves and Forests because they are considered part of our beauty.
Don't be fooled by what you see online or on TV. Lots of greenery here in the US. My state of Vermont for example is 60+% covered in forest.

From the UK playing online I’ve ran into quite a few Africans on European servers, you guys have been really nice to chat to but sometimes the accent is hard to hear :( but since I’ve an Irish accent they don’t know what I’m saying either

I might be able to speak to question 3 a bit:
Internet routes prefer to travel through seas, and often follow pre-existing undersea cable routes (and colonial telegraph routes before them). As such, connections are not as tied to geographical distance as one would think.
Here is a map that details the world's major internet cable routes:
https://cpb-us-w2.wpmucdn.com/blogs.chatham.edu/dist/3/21/files/2018/05/eo6248sth0pz-1v5h4fd.png
OP is in Uganda so (as an educated guess) his internet likely travels to the port hub in Kenya, then up to Europe around north-eastern Africa into the Mediterranean.
'The Undersea Network' is an incredible book that goes into detail on the world's internet infrastructure, of which little is generally discussed (the cables are far more vulnerable than one would guess, so the actors involved do their best to keep their locations obscure).
1
As for you question about the links to Europe this might sortof answer it. https://manypossibilities.net/african-undersea-cables/
1
The question mark obviously means it'll never be complete
52
Hahaha well that was mispunctuation
33
I think it's correct, though- PC is never done, you're just pausing a while before the next upgrade
31
Speaking of next. Upgrade I think it will be storage then RaM then Case then
26
What monitor do you have?
Make sure that your monitor is also decent since all your specs are not worth much if your monitor can't properly display those sweet frames and graphics. Good job on getting the job done though! :)

What games are popular in Africa?
19
All the same games that are popular every in the world. Why would you think they would be different.
35
First of all I would expect insufficient network infrastructure to handle the most popular games. Do you really play League of Legends etc there?
Secondly, I'd imagine PC hardware to be relatively much more expensive and harder to get there for the newest AAA titles.
His question is totally legit.
32
Well all that is expectation not reality. I am playing all the AAA titles I want. We have over 6 plus ISPs that provides speeds above 21Mbps. So though I'd not play competitively I can play COD Fortnite PUBG. These parts aren't available locally so rather they aren't bought locally they are imported. SO SIMPLY PUT all the games you play we play.
43
You're internet is as good as Southeast US in a developed area. I imagine having multiple options for ISPs is great.
16
Here I'am in POORtugal with 10mb ADSL, and only 1 ISP in my area
9
Neat. Crazy how the internet has linked all of us.
6
I think he’s asking what the main games are for you
Like SK has different popular games then the US CHina has different the SK Even popularity in Europe differs from America
Don’t need to get defensive it’s a legit question
3
Lol i couldnt get internet that fast until 3 years ago and i live an hour north of Philadelphia.
2
21 megabit? not megabyte?
1
I live in Germany and would definitely invade a country for those kinds of Internet speeds! ☹️
1
I’ve been to Africa 4 or 5 times. First time I went in 2013, everyone had smartphones and 4G, even out in the villages. It’s not what you think it is
16
Having a smartphone and 4G and having an reliable internet connection that would allow you to comfortably play online games are 2 different things imo.
4†
Don't forget that most games don't even have African servers.
5
That was included in my "insufficient network infrastructure" point.
8
i mean not really, we have steam here with the entire steam library and love games such as the witcher, red dead 2, GTA V, Halo the Masterchief collection etc and are just as hyped for Cyberpunk as you are. there are no specifically african games that africans enjoy.
3
I was wondering about the network infrastructure as well.
0
Fucking hate ignorant people like you.
-10
Not ignorant, that's reality
5
He might be asking because what may be 100% popular in North America/Parts of Europe, may not be of the same popularity in say Japan and parts of Asia. (I know you aren’t in Japan of parts of Asia, just using as an example) While all games are mostly available everywhere these days, when I was younger, so many games never got localized in the US from Japan due to popularity.
Congrats on the computer, good stuff!
9
You'd be surprised how some video game tastes vary with region. Of course, AAA titles tend to be popular everywhere but there are certain genres or games that are far more popular in certain regions or countries.
3
I’d expect fifa would be more popular there than in the US
2
Yes FIFa is along with NBA and Need for speed franchise
2
You play Atlas?
1
To be fair, some games that are super popular in Asia like Lineage, Crossfire or Dungeon Fighter have almost no presence in the west.

Because Americans are boring I was hoping you had some fresh ideas.

Sports games are a big thing cause we love sports or NBA and FIFA

That's it, that's what PCMR is about. No matter who you are or where you're from, may your frames be high and your temps be low !
19
My question is why does African belong in the title? That's like putting Asian or Irish or Jamaican or Cuban or girl or guy or trans or gay or straight in the title. No matter who you are or where you are from you can build a PC.
PS. Thanks for the downvotes, sorry for saying that everyone is equal and can build a PC
19
I put it there just to make sure those that saw the first one can recognise it. Also Saying Uganda has had me explaining way....more than I should in the Past. It's just easier but I see your point..and acknowledge it don't mind the down votes.
7
Makes sense. Congrats on your build dude!
4
Dude, there has been builds with “American” in it and you get absolutely no people saying this shit. Nothing is wrong with him putting African in the title, you just have your own bias.
4
My own "bias" is that putting anything in the title like that is stupid. No one cares if you are American no one cares if you are African no one cares if you are from Antarctica. You're making it out to seem as I'm somehow racist for remarking that the title is stupid for emphasizing something that is completely irrelevant.
0
It absolutely is relevant. PC parts are much harder to acquire in that continent of origin. I don’t believe having a racial bias is the same as being racist, but it seems there is definitely a average racial bias as people are having problems with this build specifically. When people see things like “american muscle” or, “american dad” or “american girl” you don’t get this type of reaction, but in today’s age as SOON as it’s in relation to “African” it’s as if people believe it’s just used as a way to get an advantage. Humans do this ALL the time, and most likely your country have origin probably does this a lot too with products coming from there. So maybe take a step back, calm down, and rethink if you treat other products with the some sort of nature that go along with this sort of naming scheme. Cause I’d bet money, the majority of people complaining about this “african build” would ignore things saying “american” or “european” or “Australian”
2
Well not me. Haven't seen a post that said European or American or Australian but I'd call them out too. Seems more of a way to divide the community then bring it together. As I said in my original post, no different then saying Irish pc build or trans person builds a computer. Nothing relevant to the conversation.
