[MasterGamer99]

Hi i'm am a noob at pc gaming! And i'm looking to spend 500$ on a pc build, if you can, i would like most or all pc parts from newegg.com if possible. i want pure power! Also amd graphic cards if possible. a crappy case is ok and i do not need a dvd/cd drive 500-1000GB HDD. So thanks! Desktop! thanks!?

Do you need a monitor, keyboard, mouse and/or OS?

 

[HiTechObsessed]

If you have all that stuff,this will give you great performance for that budget:

My setup! Just slightly over 520$
Can run many games a reasonable FPS.

Minecraft: 120+ Fps
BF3: 40-80+ Fps (Depending on quality)

For that price, that's nice performance The 7770 is probably the best card you can buy for under $100, and the 6300 is a perfect budget CPU. Glad you're enjoying it

Thanks!

I just wanted to say thanks for this!! I have been searching for a build using the fx-6300 under $500 dollars with an OS. Can this setup run most indie games? Also, what about Assassin's Creed? I don't care about playing on high settings, if I can at least get 720p i'm happy. Thank you so much again! I'm excited as this will be my first build. Now I just have to get the wife's permision. :/

I recommend that regardless of cpu and other specs that you get the r7 260x. It gives a good boost to performance over the 7770 and is also at a good price. You will not be disappointed even though it costs a little bit more.

 

[Nicholas N]

Okay so I have been indecisive. Since I haven't built one before I keep changing my mind. Would you guys mind taking a look at
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3yfgM It's a bit more than I was wanting to spend :/
I know the PSU is probably a bit much, but I may want to do some upgrades sometime within the next year or so. Or is the above build better?
I would like to be able to play Titanfall. I've noticed the options are endless, so I guess I just need to take the plunge and choose a build. Any suggestions? Thanks again, and sorry If I should start a new thread with this. Just seems like there are already a million of these. lol

A dedicated graphics card will outperform the APU by A LOT. Even the 7770 is a worthwhile upgrade over the integrated graphics on the APU. Again an r7 260x is really good price/performance and highly recommended especially if you can get one for about 120.

Sorry for my redundancy. Thank you so much for your suggestions and help. Would you mind taking one more look please and tell me if this would be able to run Titanfall and Assassins Creed on at least medium settings? I know that's probably hard for you to say, but what do you think? Thanks again Bob, I really appreciate it. Spending this much money is a huge deal since my wife and I are expecting our first child.

Can you link me to the final build?

 

[Nicholas N]

oh I thought I did. Sorry about that.

Only a few minor changes:
1. I'd get this psu over the evga one. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-vp450

2. Mail-in rebates are a pain, so i'd change the case to one without it.
Keep the video card with rebate because even if you don't use the rebate it's still a good price, and I haven't had a problem with gpu rebates (still not preferred though).

I'd try something like this for a more recent build:

I was wondering if you could include an optical drive for this build. Thanks!
