Afraid that my parts aren't compatible! I'm no pc-spec!

[jacobkazuki]

I am building a cheap gaming pc for games that I like and they aren't that extensive. This PC can run them medium-high. (Skryim, CSGO, League of Legends). I am slightly worried if the parts are compatible with eachother and couldn't find anything on google with this unique rig.

CPU: AMD A6-6400K
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6670
RAM 4x2 GB 1600MhZ Vengance RAM
Motherboard:Gigabyte F2A68HM-HD2
PSU: Corsair 500W

Are the parts here compatible? I'm no pc spec and I want to make sure everything is good before I buy. Thanks!

for helping.

You should not buy that CPU.

Change to a Pentium G3258 and a cheap-o MSI H81 board. This will be ALOT better. Then use any saved money for a better GPU.

 

[jacobkazuki]

Will it be that much better? How much more expensive will it be do you think? I should probably do that and I think I will. Also only reason im getting that GPU is because it is for 30 pound brand new off of a friend.

It will cost the same or less.

That GPU is not good enough to play the games you want. Maybe LoL but Skyrim will be at all LOW settings to get 30fps.

How much will you have left when you change the CPU/mobo? I will find you the best GPU.

i will have 75 pound left if i change to Pentium G3258

Good. If you can swing 10 pound more get this: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/palit-video-card-ne5x75ts13411073f

It will run your games 10-15x better than the 6670 you were going to buy.

What motherboard are you getting?

 

[jacobkazuki]

Would it work with the current one?

 

[tiny voices]

Nope, you need an intel based board with the 1150 socket.

There are many different socket motherboard for all kinds of CPUs. You cannot just use any motherboard for any CPU. Doesn't work that way.

Get this PSU and then you are good to go. It is much better quality. The build looks good.

Glad to help!

Thanks for the help! This is my new build

Awesome, this will run games very well. You can overclock the CPU to around 3.8ghz on the stock cooler for some boost there. I have both the CPU and motherboard in my office computer.
