How can i make this a decent gaming machine?

[Finnish3d_Crack]

Hello,

So i'm really stupid young boy and i have bought these parts:
AMD A6-6400K
ASUS R9 280 3Gb TOP
ASUS F2A55
G.Skill 8Gb 2133Mhz
Arctic Cooler freezer 7 pro rev.2
Zalman 700Watt with 80+
Bitfenix Comrade

And yes my part choices are really really bad.
So can somebody please save my build?
I want to play Bioshock Infinite, Battlefield 3 and some other games like that on Medium 30+FPS.
I have money 200$ So any suggestions what i should buy?

I would put it together and play your games. It isn't the most powerful system but should be able to play your games.

I thought so but then i started Battlefield 3 and all lowest and 480p. It lagged a lot

The monitor is connected to the r9 280 and not to the motherboard?

Only other explanation is the cpu being a bottleneck.

This motherboard doesn't even have integrated graphics.

I'm sorry,didn't check.

One thing you could do is upgrade the cpu to a A10 6800K or even better get a new cpu+motherboard.Like,

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor ($139.98 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($64.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $204.97
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

The motherboard in this has some overclocking capabilities.The A10 6800K would be the cheapest upgrade.

Newegg doesn't ship to Finland. So i cannot order those.

 

[Vic 40]

Maybe a site where you can order from?

You talked about $ so assumed that the partpicker would be fine,also use these parts as a guideline.

Like this which should do better too,

CPU: Intel Core i3-4150 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor ($114.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($81.97 @ OutletPC)
Total: $196.96

Just for the partnrs alone good to see.

So is Dual Core Intel better than Octa core AMD?

 

[lantrich]

What drivers are you using for your video card? There really isn't any reason your system can't play Battlefield.

 

[lantrich]

Lag can also be attributed to your internet connection. I have found that I have problems with lag n some games and my system is really powerful.

All my drivers are newest and my internet's speed is 98mb/s

I have a very similar GPU and can run BF4 on high at 60+ fps. I do have an AMD FX-8350 but that won't make that much difference in games. Do you have the 280 set as the single GPU output? Maybe somehow it is trying to use your mobo's built in graphics or trying to use both of them and slowing the 280 down to run the same as your on board graphics. Make sure the only graphics output is your GPU. If it's not that then there must be something wrong internally because you shouldn't have any issues.

A dualcore i3 can be better,

depends also on playing multiplayer or not as it seems,never get around to play multiplayer myself.Somehow not my "thing". Should try that though.

Something to watch,

similar gpu+i3.
Something else,

different gpu,but the cpu=FX 8320 isn't the bottleneck.

I still think that the amd dualcore you have is the bottleneck.

look at metro for instance.

I think with games supporting multicore better and better is the amd a safe choice,not something to upgrade further on though.You could still overclock it.

 

[Finnish3d_Crack]

What do you think about:
AMD FX-8320
And
Asus M5A78L-M LX3?

 

[Vic 40]

Don't use that motherboard,it doesn't even support the 8320 and you couldn't overclock on it,if you at least want that of course.

If this is about money is something like the next the cheapest i would use,
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-970extreme3r20
or this one,
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga970ads3p
don't know how the prices are in Finland.

Even though the cpu is not the best there is, your setup should be able to play most games on high settings getting 60+ fps. If it doesn't there is something wrong with your hardware/software. The hardware itself is sufficient to run all modern games at high settings.
