500-600 $ budget computer

[TheBourne]

I am hoping to buy a $ 500- 600 gaming pc for my birthday. It has to be able to play games like euro truck simulator, counter strike and other steam games

P.s if you could have quad core amd CPU with a really good nvidia gpu that would be awesome

[TheBourne]

VolvoDoto 1920-1080

 

[VolvoDoto]

Good. I thought you are on low resolution because intel cpus are on the upper hand with that. The build i suggested exactly fit your needs. Can't play all games on 1080p ultra though.

What do you think guys

 

[TheBourne]

Well if the hardware is stress doubt i will turn down the settings i really dont mind playing on low res or settings im used to it

 

[legokill101]

i would go with this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Ce9G fx6300 will match a core i3 in threaded task and it has a MUCH more potent gpu

 

[TheBourne]

Yeah the amd CPU is fine i didn't put it in cos matching the fm2 and am3 mother and CPU is annoying

 

[TheBourne]

I much rather like the nvidia gpu cos in my opinion they are better

 

[legokill101]

but the benchmarfks show it is clearly a faster card then teh only nvidia card at its price poin the gtx 660 http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1043?vs=1039

 

[TheBourne]

Ok yeah the r9 is better I'll choose it but I like the nivida because of phyx and all the other stuff but it says the nivida is cooler and quiter

2 questions for legokill101
Q1 will the power supply be able to provide enough power later on as I might overclock the GPU and CPU?
Q2 it says the motherboard needs a BIOS update will that affect me

 

[legokill101]

yes it should as it a little less then 400w power consumtion un overclocked and it should not need a bios update a the fx6300 has been out for a while now

 

[TheBourne]

Ok thanks i will think about but for now i favour your build
