Building New System With AMD fx 6100

[dstubbornkanav]

Hello,

I'm building a new desktop...I'm a gamer and right now i'm tight on budget....The hard disk i'll using would be from my old desktop...The processor which i have chosen is AMD fx 6100..

I don't have much knowledge about Motherboards, Graphics Cards and PSU...So need suggestions regarding these three products..


My last two motherboard were dead due to heat problem, so now i want to build a system which is good in performance and reliability..I'm not into stuff of over-clocking.

this is a good motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131736
i've had first hand experience with it and it left a really good impression, i really like asus motherboards for their features and quality.

this is a better CPU for gaming in my opinion, the six core 6100 is kind of useless due to the fact that most games can utilize only 4 cores at maximum.

I have the AMD FX 6100 and I was disappointed with the gaming performance! It has weak per core performance and I had better performance in games with my Core 2 Duo @ 2.33GHz to my surprise. I would recommend going with Intel, but if you want an AMD system go for the older Phenom II range a lot better and cheaper with none of this integer core rubbish!

 

[dstubbornkanav]

and what about PSU and GPU?

I have "AMD 3.4 GHz AM3 Phenom II 965" in my mind

Its approximately Rs 25000 that's around $ 460-470 for mobo+processor+PSU+GPU...If money is an issue, then i can buy GPU after sometime as well...I just want something best in performance and reliability

I have to order everything online, but I'm getting not this PSU in any of the famous Websites that delivers product in India...So, any other PSU you want to suggest?

Phenom II X4 965 currently is out of stock...So should i go for 970 or 960T?

960t and unlock extra cores and or OC to 4.0ghz, but the 970 is nice also.
