if you have a big cabinet then thismotherboard is better - http://pcstore.com.al/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=465

just bought them ( fx 6300 and 970a mobo ) this week and gaming performance with my sapphire radeon 7770 1gb ddr 5 is pretty smooth. the ram that you have, is it ddr3? coz you will need ddr3 ram for this processor and motherboard.

 

[Slick2sick]

actually im on a ddr2 ram xD e8400 cpu and the gpu as i mentioned the gtx 560 ti 448 i got 4gb ram ddr2 AT THE MOMENT BUT but but i got another 4 gigs ddr3 ram @ 1333mhz laying around :/ its just a stick with 4 gigs ddr3 and its brand is patriot it says

 

[Slick2sick]

are u from albania btw ?

 

[maxdesolate]

in that case, you are good to go with the 6300 and either of the 2 motherboards i have mentioned. i have tried both the motherboards and they are a great match for this processor and you can even upgrade to a 8450 in the future with these. i currently have 8 gb ram on my system. im getting more than 50 fps in games like crysis 3 and cod ghosts. i had the same budget as you a few days back. believe me, i am not regretting buying these. they are the best for this budget as long as you use them with a good company 450w or 500w psu.

 

[maxdesolate]

no mate, i am from india. hehe

 

[Slick2sick]

oh thats the problem i think i got a 550watt psu HKC :/ i heard its not a good brand Its 12v@ 24amps even that its holding my current system with no problems i guess ^^ tdp of e8400 is 60 watts or 70 moving to fx 6300 is not a huge improve base of the tdp of fx 6300 that is 90watts

 

[Slick2sick]

i heard its a old type inside paired with high end cables :/ i got like many 8 pin and 6 pin power connectors and stuff

 

[maxdesolate]

well, in that case, you could buy the first motherboard and a corsair vs 550 or corsair cx 500 for the remaining money. both have guarranteed 85 % efficiency and will do the job for this system. that should be around 200 -220 altogether including shipping i think ( which might even be free ).

 

[Slick2sick]

my country isnt with euros so :/ 115+49 cheapest mother board =164 euros=230,000LEK that is my currency :/ i was thinking maybe 200.000 lek total mobo and cpu thats like 150 euro but i think i can go for 230.000 too :/ but i can handle to buy a psu
U think i can run the system just fine ? i wont overclock ... at all i just might multitask like crazy in the beggining ^^

 

[maxdesolate]

yup, it will run fine. multitasking wont be a problem as long as you are not doing it while runinng a game in windowed mode. you can always buy 4 more gb of ram when you have money to spend. but make sure its the same company and speed.

 

[Slick2sick]

yea ^_^ can i multi task for example open twitch.tv watching a stream on 2nd monitor while playing League of legends ?

 

[maxdesolate]

shouldnt be a problem i think. though i dont have any personnel experience of running 2 monitors.
the 78lmt mobo has support for vga, hdmi and dvi. but the 970a, you cant use without a graphic gard. so go with the first mobo.
for your budget, these are the best you can buy in any case.

 

[Slick2sick]

i link both monitors on my gtx 560 ti 448 ^^ it has dual dvi and dual hdmi outputs and a DisplayPort ^_^ and its working fine even with my e8400 :/ just when i open twitch while playing sometimes my fps drops to 40 or so and its quite unplayable :/ if im solo monitor fps is like 80-120 constantly it even goes up to 240 fps i think cpu doesnt give enough power

 

[Slick2sick]

i saw from msi afterburner that when my both cpu cores at at 100% use the gpu use is like 42% its a huge bottleneck i tihnk
