Gaming PC Part List Help
I’m having trouble find parts for my gaming pc. My budget is $550-$600 (excluding windows). I want to run Fortnite, Rocket League, and Blacks Ops 4. It also needs to be WIFI. Does anyone have any suggestion of which parts to get?

CPU: Intel - Core i3-8100 3.6 GHz ($118.99 )
Motherboard: Gigabyte - H310M A Micro ATX ($58.23)
Memory: G.Skill - Aegis 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($53.99)

Video Card: XFX - Radeon RX 580 8 GB GTS Black Core Edition Video Card ($179.99)
Case: Cooler Master - MasterBox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($47.98)
Power Supply: Corsair - CXM (2015) 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ($24.99)
Total: $504.16
This Is My Personal Build, All New Parts.
For A Little More, Change Out The HDD for a small SSD and A Mid-Size Hybrid.
Also, A Used GPU From A Good Seller Can Be Better, Just Make Sure There Is A Good Return Policy and NO MINING GPU!
Don't Cheap Out On PSU Like Diablo. Make Sure It Is A Reputable Brand, With Good Customer Service. A Bad PSU will ruin all other components easily. Corsair Is A Reputable PSU Brand.
Also, If You Wana Go With The Theme, Swap Out The Ugly Red RAM for some Black Or Silver, Or Even Blue.
Good Luck!
P.S. The RX 580 Is Similar, If Not Better Than A 1060 6 GB, But Is Cheaper. If You Can, Go With A RX 590. An Intel Core i3-8100 Is Fine for gaming. If you wana do more CPU intensive task, like rendering or video editing, then go with an i5, 5-7 gen, probably used.
Now, AMD...

Alright: First of all, which country.
In Norway, where tech prices are really good, this is doable if you're willing to put BO4 on a medium-low graphics setting.
Black Ops 4 actually has really good support for lower end hardware, but I can't just say "Buy a 660" because that's 720p low.
For a CPU, I'd generally say try to get an i5 from 2 or 3 years ago or i7 that's a bit older (4790k is a great CPU if you can find one at a decent price)
After looking up prices here, I found out an i5 6600 is almost the same as an i5 7600. (~200$)
Buy with caution though, as sometimes, you can find K processors to be cheaper, but these do not come with a fan, this is why I say DON'T buy a K processor, because fans can ruin the budget.
For GPU: I'd say get a 1060 6gb, just get the cheapest 1060 6gb that's out there on retail.
It's actually a *REALLY* good GPU for the price of it, it's the one stated in the recommended specs of BO4 and can do really intensive games if you just turn a few things off.
These can vary between 250-350$.
For a motherboard, the only thing I can recommend you doing is finding out the socket of the CPU you're choosing, and searching that socket plus wireless motherboard and sorting by price.
You can also just get a cheap motherboard that fits with your CPU, and then get a USB to Wifi adapter, though, I can't vouch for how well that will work.
There are also PCIE wifi adapters out there.
For RAM, get the valueram stuff from kingston or hyperx or something, 8gb should be enough for a lot of things, as long as you're not planning to multitask with BO4 open
For a case, hop on to a resell site and see if you can buy a case-power supply combo.
Otherwise you can get a pretty cheap case for like 30$ that's ATX size, Aerocool V2X, forexample.
Power supplies is what you don't want to cheap out on, get something cheap from a trusted brand that has the amount of wattage you need for your PC.
With Black Friday, Cyber Weekend and Cyber Monday coming up, achieving something like this is a lot easier.

It's doable if you exclude Black Ops 4.
If you want to play Black Ops 4 at 1080p you'll need a 1080, 1070Ti or similar. If you want to play at 4K your entire budget won't cover the cost of the GPU.
BO4 aside, you can just barely put together a Ryzen/RX570 based system within budget. You may have to settle for an RX560 and/or limit your ram to 8GB depending on what deals you can find.

I don’t think you can have a $600 PC run black ops 4 very well. Get a console :-). I paid $800+ just for my video card.

What has happened to MassDrop?
I have been gone about two years and return to find a completely a different shopping experience. Even though Spring is upon us...I can count ALL the outdoor items on less than my 10 fingers. Is this the norm now from Drop? Thanks

X-mid 1p tent available for France
Hello, my question is very simple: when will the Dan Durston X-mid 1p tent be available for France? I know this must have already been discussed and I know I can order it via Amazon.com but it is not the easiest (and cheapest) way to get it. Please, make it available! Don't let me beg you! ;-) Hope to hear from you soon with good news. Pierre

I bought a Glycine GL0187 and got it about a week ago.
The dial in the picture of the Glycine GL0187 on drop.com is black. The dial on the one i received looks 2/3 faded greyish and the bottom more black. I know it's not, but the dial has the water damaged look. It's not nice and pretty anoying. Any comments?

Completely surprised by the lack of blade diversity here on Drop...
I’ve been a collector of Blades since before my teens, and a retailer coming up on 15… or maybe 20 years. Drop has really been kind of an interesting experience for me, because I do occasionally get to see some unusual tech and sometimes EDC items that otherwise I might not have been aware of. And maybe it’s because I have a deep love of cutlery and bladed weapons, but I find myself trolling through the site looking at it what’s available; and it’s just it’s pretty much the same. And the bladed community here is just always confused me.. every single knife is about the same, they’re almost all drop points and although the handle materials change and brands change.. it’s really just the same knife over and over and over again... occasionally you’ll see a tanto or a slight variant; but rarely… and almost never a serrated blade. And I’m just deeply amazed at this diversion of serrated blades. And I’m just surprised there isn’t more of a request for diversity here.... and I...

Can we get Sony E-Mount or other mirrorless camera options please..
Would be nice to see some Sony E mount full frame cameras on here. I currently shoot with a A99 and they killed the lense path for better or more option lenses and now is all E-Mount. 🤔

There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...
