Help with buying choice

[Nemanja Miric]

Hi there,

I was searching for a while for buying my new hardware and i came up with this:

G3420 + 260x + 4GB RAM

and i just wanted to know is there any smarter choice for gpu or cpu in same price range? Also if you could reccomend me a low cost motherboard for these.

Thanks in advance

I would recommend the Intel Anniversary Pentium ( G3258) it is quite cheap and overclocks tremendously well. Get this motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 and then you can overclock as in this article: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/pentium-g3258-b81-cheap-overclocking,3888.html

Hello, you can have a GTX 750 ti at the same price. There is about a 5% difference in performance. It depends on which game you play. 750 Ti use less power than the R7 260X. It's a preference on wich brand you prefer. I am a Nvidia fan so..

G3258+4 GB of RAM+750 TI/280 (if you can spend 165$ on a GPU).

But this GPU doesnt fit on that motherboard?!

I'm not sure why you say that. Maybe you're not expressing your concern correctly? The motherboard is a PCIe Gen 2.0 and it is compatible with PCIe 3.0 video cards.

The article I linked you to used an insane Nvidia Titan so that they could make sure the CPUs were not bottlenecked by the video card.

Ok thanks guys so i decided to go with:
MSI H81M-P33 - G3258 - 4GB RAM KVR16N11S8 - and still dont know about R7 260x/GTI 750 TI ?!
help me bout gpu pls :O 😀

Between those two I'd go with the cheaper option. The Nvidia card is a Maxwell architecture and uses less power if that is a consideration.
