Bump?

 

[J_E_D_70]

1) No bumping

2) Not happening at $450 - here's an insanely cheap build http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/mini-itx-gaming-radeon-hd-7750,3369-10.html

 

[RenzoGuzi]

Sorry for the bumping but i disagree with the not happening part. Ive seen great builds worth 350$. I just need some help putting parts together available in my country. And the build you sent is over my budget.

 

[ScrewySqrl]

the tricky bit is you are in the Philippines.

at your price range the best bet is an A10-5800K system

 

[J_E_D_70]

A $450 machine will *barely* run BF3 multi and FC3 on low. The only thing that might make it playable is your resolution.

Here is a thread for the top end of your budget. Don't go less than quad core.

The g2020 paired with a 7770 will not barely run bf3 on low and if i go cheap with the mobo, case and ram ill have a gaming machine (that cant really encode that fast, multitask that much, and only has 2 cores) but i kinda want an apu rig since i can game for a while without a gpu then get a high end gpu. Since the a10 5800k competes with the i3 in cpu performance i think the apu is a good "investment", IMHO.

 

[ScrewySqrl]

i'd suggest either a a10-5800K or an FX 4300 and HD 7750

 

[khaledegy200]

get an 670 for 350$ , sleep on the bed and think what does this great gpu can do.

[just jk guys]

if u can wait for A6-6xxx i will be really good due to the graphics improvements

if not then do as the guys above here says.

Im buying parts tomorrow.

 

[DaPotatoes]

Im doing this as a fun build but it should also preform well and all the people saying it wont preform or its not possible thats not true lol i built a fx 4100 system with a gts 450 and it killed far cry 3 med settings 1080p 50fps avg. Go with my build and OC the cpu and you have a decent build......... for now.

 

[DaPotatoes]

Im buying parts tomorrow.

+1 except on the cpu and mobo he better get these parts:-


1.CPU:Intel Core i3-3220 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHz LGA 1155 55W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2500 BX80637i33220 @ $129


2.MOBO:ASRock H61M-DGS LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard @ $44

with a total of 40 more [apprx. $410 for the whole build]

it will be better and here is the evidence

 

[DaPotatoes]

Best answer? I needed it to be 400 exactly thats why i did that lol im selling my old build.

 

[DaPotatoes]

and im looking at base price.

 

[ScrewySqrl]

That build is mostly useless...he's not in the USA, he's in the Philippines!

 

[RenzoGuzi]

^exactly what i thought. Lol thanks for the help though.

I also dont need a case now since my mom bought me a nice cm storm scout ii (i love my mom) . I still need an os in thr budget though.

 

[khaledegy200]

Just download it from any torrent site. [Joking]

the cheapest 7 OS is $100 [Windows 7 home premium 32/64 bit]

so if u can get a little over budget get it. if u can't there is a few solutions:-
1.If u have a friend with this OS ask him for the dvd.
2.Borrow it from any friend/store...
3.install any OS u have [like windows Xp etc..] until u save for 7
