fx 6300 + 250x vs fx 4300 + gtx 750

[pkandro]

Hello guys i'm from India and prices of gfx cards are really high here but cpu prices are good. iam building anew desktop for gaming at 720p and the two cpu-gpu combinations that fit in my budget are
fx 6300 + raedon 250x or
fx 4300 + gtx 750

I play racing simulation and rts games mostly with a little bit of bf4 and metro last night.
iwill buy an cpu cooler next year to overclock the fx processor and will also slightly overclock my gpu.
I need your heelp in getting the right combo. other than gaming i browse the web alot(everybody does) and edit pictures.
please help i wanna build it as soon as possible .
thanks.

Performance→GTX 750 > R7 250x
Performance→ FX 6300>> FX 4300
Most probably there won't be much difference between both builds in gaming especially in BF4 , Crysis 3 and all other CPU intensive games( Maybe FX 4300+ GTX 750 will win in other games but by little margin)

A better choice will be FX 6300+ GTX 750

thats why i asked you all because simulation and rts games tend to be more cpu-heavy than fps games so a FX 6300 MIGHT HAVE BEEN HELPFUL but a 750 is much more power than 250x and is also newer. Also i wnted to ask if there would be any noticeable difference during day to day use between fx 4300 and 6300.
and i would like to mention that this build wont be upgraded in future except addition of a cpu cooler and a 128 gb ssd in the coming year. so plaese help me out.

Yes there will be noticeable difference between FX 4300 & FX 6300 in day to day tasks like heavy Internet Browsing, playing HD content, multitasking, video encoding(especially when compressing videos for uploading), etc

As I already mentioned FX 6300 + GTX 750 will be much better choice and not only in performance but also for its much better price/performance

And I should also mention that some FPS games like BF4 are also CPU intensive

thanks for your comment but i cant go with a fx 6300 + 750 (no more money left).either its fx 6300 + 250x or fx 4300 + gtx 750 or i get a fx 6300 now and wait for 4 to 5 months without gfx card and then get a 750. is that worth the wait?

You will need a graphics card with FX series CPU's because they don't have Integrated GPU.

Also I should mention that after seeing some benchmarks r7 250x and GTX 750 have very less difference (hardly 2-5% in favour of GTX 750)and they can go much further than 720p gaming.

While FX 6300 is significantly better than FX 4300

So keeping all these things in mind FX 6300 + R7 250x is the way to go

i have a my mobo has hd 3000 already so it can atleast drive my display till a gfx card comes but is 750 worth the wait?
also, altough i game at 720p, I like to kepp anti-aliasing high (ssaa and msaa, not post processing) which put a lot of load on the gpu (though i kepp non sense effects of to get 40-45 fps.)
another point for considering 750 is that it is of newer architecture and might last me longer as the rig wont be upgraded much before 2017.

Difference between r7 250x and GTX 750 is not much and both will max out any game at 720p and they can even go higher.
Is GTX 750 worth the wait for 4-5months?
NO
Is GTX 750 is worth the wait for few weeks or atmost a month?
YES
FX 6300+ r7 250x will be better deal for your budget.

You need an Intel CPU(which has integrated HD 3000) to drive your display and not the motherboard. The motherboard is only meant to support iGPU. The motherboard doesnot has integrated Graphics.

And you won't be able to use Intel motherboard with AMD CPU.

IF YOU ARE GOING FOR FX CPU , THEN YOU HAVE TO BUY A GRAPHICS CARD TO DRIVE YOUR DISPLAY

thanks i got it

see this http://in.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305#ov
it says it has hd 3000 graphics to play 1080p vids

Edit : My bad. I was thinking about Intel HD 3000 Graphics.

You'll be able to use AMD HD 3000 iGPU on that motherboard with AMD CPU

tell me one cpu which has ati hd 3000 built in and uses am3+ socket.
maybe i am wrong but i believe it does have a very basic gpu to drive the screen.

FX CPU's (AM3+) dont have integrated GPU but that motherboard has iGPU onboard
So you will have no problem using it with FX 6300

THAT WAS MY VERY POINT. STILL THANK YOU.

I HAVE GOT A FX 6300 AND FX 4300 FOR TESTING ( I WAS AN OLD CUSTOMER OF THE SHOPKEEPER SO HE GAVE ME BOTH FOR TESTING(BECAUSE NO ONE IS BUYING AMD PROCESSORS HERE SO HE HAD A LARGE STOCK LEFT WITH HIM ) I WILL POST MY EXPERIENCE IN GENERAL COMPUTING TASKS AND IMAGE EDITING.

 

[pkandro]

AT LAST I GOT THEM FOR TESTING[ ONLY 2 HOURS 🙁 ] AND THE FX 6300 WAS A LITTLE BIT BETTER IN PHOEO AND SOUND EDITING WHILE EVERY THING ELSE WAS ALMOST THE SAME. I AM GOING FOR THE 750 + FX 4300 SETUP. THANKS maktovic.

 

[maktovic]

No problem 😉
