AMD FX 6300 & GTX 650 or AMD Kaveri A10-7850K

[Danar Christanto]

I have 2 preferences to build a gaming computer, first preferences is AMD FX 6300 with GTX 650 and the second is AMD Kaveri A10-7850k. From the prices, those are almost same. but from the performance I don't know.

so, where should I go ?

Integrated graphics is always very poor. Your first choice is far better.

I wouldn't say it is far better but I would go with the 6300 and 650. It will perform a little better and you can upgrade the GPU later if you want more performance.

 

[DeathAndPain]

Same goes for the CPU, which is not that awesome, but I understand that the thread creator is on a budget.

The FM2+ arch offers a greater upside with future upgrades.

AMD Athlon X4 750K Trinity: $80

Snag an R7 250 for less than $100.

This is nonsense, and recommending a crappy Athlon is a joke.

Get the FX 6300 + the GTX 650. In the states, you can get a GTX 650 Ti for the same or less than a GTX 650.

We get it. You don't like AMD. Get over yourself.

The AMD Athlon X4 750K Trinity adds $30-$40 to the video card budget (which needs serious help). The GTX650 is holding back this rig ... not the Athlon X4 750K.

The OP could snag an HD7850 1GB for less than $150 with the price difference ... and just missed the Sapphire HD 7870 GHz Edition for $160 after rebate.

Either would smash the GTX650 in gaming, which is the point after all, huh?

Yeah, that must be why in 20+ years, all my CPUs save the very first and the current used to be AMD (well, I think there was also one Cyrix 6x86).

This is simply not true. AMD currently manufactures weak CPUs as it is, and even among those the Athlon line is the budget class. The Athlon just performs horrible compared to what other CPUs the market currently has to offer.

The prime point in gaming is being able to play. If your GPU is too weak, you can tone down details. If your CPU is too weak, you can do nothing. Besides, I have witnessed myself how my fps at high details majorly went up after replacing my CPU with a better model (same graphics card), so the concept of possible graphics detail level depending only on the GPU is proven wrong.

I would agree with the guy who says Athlon quad core fm2+ with 650ti or even 650ti boost.Much better gaming performance than FX 6300 and 650.

Uhhh...no. Going down from a 6300 to a Athlon X2 is going to hurt more then moving from a 650 to a 650ti gains you.

don't have benches for the Athlon 2 X4 750, but putting it between the Athlon 2 X4 650 and Phenom 2 850, you get a CPU that's about 5-6 FPS slower then the FX-6300, on average.
