Hi!

I need a budget pc for some 3d graphics, so i need processor power and ram. Graphics card is not so important, i do not need setup to look nice, just to get as much for the money. I do not now how bad is to mix AMD chip with geforce video card.

I will overclock slightly or not at all.

My thoughts:

CPU: AMD FX- 8350

Motherboard: 50-100 $

ASUS M5A97 AM3+ AMD 970 or first choice
Gigabyte AM3+ AMD DDR3 1333 or
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P AMD 970 So.AM3

Anything else?


Memory:

8 -16 gb ?

Storage:


Video graphics Card: 50-100 $

Sapphire Radeon R7 240 2GB DDR3 or
EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 64 bit or
SAPPHIRE 11180-00-CPO Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-Bit GDDR5

of something else?

Case: ?

Power Supply: ?

Thank you for any recommendations.

The AMD AM3+ platform is "dead" and even when overclocked can't keep up with an Intel processor. Look toward an Intel setup like the one below. Also, skip the discrete GPU for now and use the onboard GPU. It will be just as good as the entry level GPUs you listed. If you already have the HD 6850 then by all means use that...
