Hi,
Looking to get to the most effective Bulldozer build within a very tight budget. Have a few things already.
Approximate Purchase Date: Next week
Budget Range: $400-500 (£300)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: audio, gaming, internet
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS, OCZ 450W PSU, 8GB RAM Vengeance Kit 2 x SATA 500GBs HDDs, X-Blade Black Case
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Aria.co.uk, overclockers.co.uk, ebuyer.com
GPU: HD 6850/HD7770 (note resolution below)
Country: UK
Parts Preferences: Would like to use an AMD CPU / AMD GPU / FX 8120 / FX 6100
Overclocking: No (upgrade PSU later for that)
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1280x1024
Preferred brand: AMD
Additional Comments: Would like a quiet PC, power efficiency where applicable!. Stuck on motherboard... 900+ chips are very expensive. I can spec the FX-8120 with a 760G board within budget, but I'm worried about its performance impact (or lack of). Will it be significant?
Cheers for the help
