Build PC help

[javierse]

I'm going to make a PC really soon, I'm really tight on budget, i have the headphones,OS,mouse and keyboard already so exclude those. If you wanna recommend a build please include a monitor in the total price. I have about $650-$700 to spend. Here's the specs i made myself, are the parts compatible with each other? https://justpaste.it/hbpq . Do you have any recommendations? Thanks! If you wanna contact me directly (which i prefer) just add my skype <removed by moderator>

I think i already said about from $650-700
Most of the time I play CS GO but i have lots of unplayed games in my steam account, maybe games like tomb raider and in the future dying light.

yeah thats not a good build, the GPU is very weak and if youre going FX you should get at least the FX 6300. What websites are you buying from? Ill make you something on PC part picker if you are

Sorry man I'm from Indonesia (somewhere in asia), if you're generous enough you can make it on pcpartpicker, just show me the specs and i'll find the parts, thanks!

if you can find THIS in your budget then go with it. But he said he needs a monitor too.

 

[logainofhades]

I missed the monitor part. I changed to an i3. The GPU is more important for gaming.

Instead of powercolor R9 270x 2GB Buy ASUS Gtx 760 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121775 ($219.99)
Or EVGA http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-130-932 ($219.99)
There is a $50 Difference

 

[logainofhades]

The 270x was actually faster than a GTX 760 in the recent R9 285 review. I would not recommend the GTX 760.

this build is well rounded and just a tad over budget. You could get an XFX 550W for around 45 or 50 if you HAVE to stay in budget. just saw that 750W for a good price.

sorry dude but right now a dollar costs a lot more than it used to be here, so i really cant affor what you just gave me (it was good though). after reconsidering can you just make something about $650, without the UPS?

 

[javierse]

hey i just tweaked the parts a little bit, here it is: https://justpaste.it/hc0t
Its a little over budget, thats why i posted it here, do you guys know where i can trim down the price just a bit? Please dont change the monitor btw. Thanks!

 

[logainofhades]

You do not need the aftermarket thermal compound. Just buy a case with decent airflow, instead of a case and and additional fan. The Corsair 200 is a fine case, for not a lot of money. I would suggest sticking with the i3/H97 combo. FX 6300 has to be overclocked to match the i3, and AM3+ is a dead platform. Going with an H97 board gives you an upgrade path to broadwell, at least.

 

[javierse]

Hey i need to clear up something here, can i use an i3 with a radeon graphics card? not with a GT/GTX?. And why is AM3+ dead? I also wonder can you give me an example of a H97 motherboard?
Edit: sorry dude but the corsair case is kinda expensive, anything else? what about the spec-01?

yes u can use amd ati gpus with intel cpus and vise versa. They say AM3+ is dead because it has no further upgrades past an FX 8350 and the recently released FX 8370. But the FX line will actually see new architecture updates in 2016, will it be on AM3+? who knows.

Spec 01 is ok. You can use the i3 with any graphics card. AM3+ is dead because AMD is not going to release any new CPU's for it. Just refreshes of current architecture. Gigabyte GA-H97-GAMING 3 is pretty decent board for the money. Not sure what it will cost in your area, but it is fairly inexpensive here.

i have the spec 01 and im very happy with it, good cable management, and i like the big window.

 

[javierse]

I decided that i'll use the cooler master elite 431 because its not so expensive and looks nice. My full spec is here: https://justpaste.it/hdb8 . I went down the intel road, i can change the processor to a broadwell right?

 

[logainofhades]

Yes, you should be able to change to Broadwell, with just a bios update. H97/Z97 were designed for Broadwell.
