help me to choose gpu

[yusuper]

Hi. Im from malaysia. Yes i know the plane is not found yet. Long live PM Najib!

Anyway, im planning to build my first gaming pc with thight budget for dota 2, fifa, cod and some racing games. So i decide to go with KL shop package:

Amd fx-6300
Asus M5A78L-M LX mobo
4gb kingston ram
500gb wd hdd
Lg dvd rw
Atx chasis + 500 w power supply
Total : around 320$

So, someone can help me to decide what gpu should i buy? Or should i forget that set and buy piece by piece? My budget is maximum 400$ without monitor etc.

Thanks in advance!

Save some money and go with an asus mobo, an i5, and a good gpu like a 270X or a 770. Also, go with 8 gigs of RAM. $400 is not enough for actual "gaming"

are you going to play on 1080p or 720p? either case for games like dota 2, fifa, cod racing games 760 is good enough

Thanks. But is it okay if i pick sapphire hd7790? @mamamia13 just for regular gaming. Dota 2. Does it future proof?

If you want to use IGP, you are better off getting an APU or an i3. The graphics in the 760g chipset are quite dated, and quite slow.

760p? If possible, i want to play in 1080p. Any recommendation? @qwertyDS

well for 80$ left there's not many options, maybe a radeon r7 250 and gt640 but they won't play over 720p medium details... not to mention you could use another 4gb ram for dual channel... the combo isn't overpriced it's just that the budget is too tight.

at 400$ you could maybe find a A10 based apu isntead

@laviniuc im not interested with apu based because its hard to upgrade in future. What if i used fx6300 with hd7790? Is it okay?

Well though I agree 500 - 600 would be better, but what you picked out is fine. Yes I could change a lot to match what I want/what I would put in, but I think you did a good job. So you only left yourself $80 for one of the important parts in your rig? I'm guessing that you will be using this for more than just playing games? Will this be for 1080p gaming?

If I needed a GPU and only had $80 to $100, I would get a Gigabyte GV-R775OC-2GI

@logainofhades thats not bad build! but, fx6300 is less powerful than intel g220? How if i use hd7790 with fx6300? Is it okay?

I think my budget is maximum on r7 260 x oc 2gb. Still good?

If your budget allows for it, yes that is a good combo and would be faster than what I selected. I was just trying to stay completely in your $400 budget.
