This might be a good place for you to get started, the build there is $650(which is SLIGHTLY over your budget) but it looks pretty good. Also you won't have to purchase a case so it should suit you pretty well.


"
Component Model Purchase Price
CPU AMD FX-6300 $120
CPU Cooler AMD boxed heatsink/fan 0
Motherboard MSI 970A-G43 ATX $70
RAM Kingston HyperX XMP Blu Red Series KHX16C9B1RK2/8X 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1600
$57
Graphics EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2 GB 02G-P4-2760-KR $250
Hard Drive WD Blue WD10EZEX 1 TB $57
Case NZXT Tempest 210 CA-TP210-01 $40
Power Antec VP-450 450 W ATX12V v2.3 $40
Optical Samsung 24x DVD Burner SATA Model SH-224DB/RSBS $16

Total Price $650"

(I'd just snap a screenshot for you but I'm on a school computer without puush)
 


Thanks very much for quick reply will have a look a link and get back to you. Thanks again.
 


Could you have a look at this please and let me know what you think please. Any advice would be great....

CPU....AMD athlon x4 750k (this is not my choice am helping friend to build this)
Motherboard...Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard (Socket AM3+, Up to 16GB DDR3, USB 3.0, uATX)
Graphics card.... NVIDIA geforce gtx 650 ti boost
Power supply... 450W Corsair® VS Series
Ram ...... 8GB Corsair® XMS3 DDR3 1333MHz
Hard drive ....500GB Seagate Barracuda ES ST3500630NS 3.5" SATA II Hard Drive
Optical Drive....LiteOn 24x Internal SATA DVD RW Drive [IHAS124-04]

 


Its looking pretty good except I'm pretty sure the cpu is incompatible with that particular motherboard.(Having a hard time loading webpages right now so check this for yourself). Also that power supply probably isn't going to be enough, I'd use neweggs recommended power supply calculator and see what it recommends.
 


Thanks again for quick reply i would have picked this cpu AMD FX-6300 3.5Ghz 6 Core 8MB Socket AM3+ 95W TDP C0 Processor FD6300WMW6KHK This is compatible im sure. What you think...

Will look into power supply to see whats needed....

 


Thanks again, you seem to be right about power supply one i picked is just short according to newegg. Thanks very much for all your help. Will post final choice soon i hope and maybe you could give it a quick look just to make sure before i purchase.

 


Sounds good, I'll check back in a bit.

 


Hi again sorry for all the questions, friend really wants AMD athlon x4 750k cpu so i was searching for compatible motherboards and found this ASRock FM2A75 PRO4 AMD A75 FCH Socket FM2 Motherboard ... Would the NVIDIA geforce gtx 650 ti boost be compatible with motherboard not sure if M board needs PCi 3 slot or not. Thanks again for all your help....

 


No problem, the graphics card should be compatible with the motherboard.

edit: I'm actually in class right now, I'll make 100% sure when I get a chance.
 


Hi me again think i have everything but could you give it a quick look just to make sure everything ok ... Thanks..

as rock fm2a75 pro4 motherboard
2gb xfx radeon 7850
AMD athlon II x4 750k
corsair 2x4gb dual channel 1600mhz ram
600watt 80%+ bronze power supply
1TB Hard Drive
DVD Drive


 


I generally don't recommend asrock motherboards. Consider something from gigabyte or asus?
 


would this one be ok do you think..
Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H (Socket FM2+) ATX Motherboard

How come you dont like asrock motherboards.....

 


It looks good.

I don't like asrock motherboards because they're cheap chinese pieces of s***


 
Solution


I laughed. you realize ASrock is a company that branched off from ASUS? much better quality then gigabyte LOL now MSI is the one you want to avoid.
 


HAHA I laughed again! why do they allow these scum people to post? cheap chinese piece's of shit? for one they're manufactured in Taiwan. and two which I already stated ASrock is a company that branched off from ASUS. so please take your ignorance some where else. :)
 


Thanks very much for all your help very much appreciated......

 

that board you selected is a lower end fm2 socket board which means that processor you picked will not work with it.
get a asrock or asus a85x pro model boards... which are fm2 sockets which means you'll have to go with amd APU's which are very very very powerful especially when it comes to gaming(won't play bf4 on ultra but i will certainly get the job done at lower settings) do some research on the amd APU's you'll like what you see. you don't even need to get a GPU right away with this for entry level stuff. (gpu later+amd apu+crossfire/dual graphics = high end gaming) don't even need that high end of a PSU for this set up... you'd be fine with a 400w PSU which again brings your cost down. just be sure to get the highest quality ram sticks at the highest mhz you can get your hands on I think the highest supported is 2400? for the asrock/asus a85x series. good luck friend shoot me a message if you have some questions 😛 but really do some research before you go jumping into things. And I know a lot of people will argue with me but this is more then adequate and a lot more budget friendly. 😛 good luck
 


I'm a "scum person" that "shouldn't be allowed to post" because I have a distaste for a certain brand of motherboard? I seriously suggest that you reconsider your life.

They might have branched off from asus but notice how asus doesn't want their name on them? There is a reason for that. Also don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure taiwan is still considered part of china.

Gigabyte works closely with intel and in my experience all of their motherboards have been reasonably priced and reliable.

 

Yea okay buddy. Taiwan is it owns country its just really close to china ahaha. you said they're cheap chinese pieces of shit with no evidence to back it up. I would of maybe agree'd with you maybe if you didn't mention China and Gigabyte. but still ASrock is top of the line only mobo brand i'd recommend avoiding is MSI or other generic brands.
 


Actually many people consider Taiwan to be a part of China. (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_status_of_Taiwan)

It wasn't really meant to be an argument, Chinese motherboards are just generally known to be inferior to their Japanese/American counterparts. I've never had a problem with a gigabyte motherboard in my life so I recommended it. Not sure why you're making a big deal out of it. If you disagree just say so and state your reason why. Pointless calling me "scum" or going "ahahhaha" like an idiot.
