[sam2002hd]

Hi i'm currently building a new gaming Pc since my current one is just outdated and not really good anymore , these are my specs for my new gaming pc

AMD Fx6300 cpu
8 gb brutal ram 1800 mhz
asus m5a88-v evo
ocz500sxs psu
649bs-Atx Classic Case
1tb hdd
msi gtx 960 2gb

please tell me what do you think and is it good enough,

what is your budget? I can make a better build for the price. Do you need an OS/monitor/peripherals? what country do you live in?

 

[sam2002hd]

Hi I have an os and monitor and even a dvd no problem , i live in malta located in europe, What do you think i should replace budget is 600 euro

 

[Rhezner]

where do you normally buy products from? do you ship them from elsewhere or do you buy them locally?, if you get them shipped where from? Italy? UK?

 

[sam2002hd]

I know a guy he usually gets them for me, im only concerned about the psu what do you think of the build

 

[Rhezner]

try to get an i3 4160 or 4150

Get a b85 or h97 motherboard that has usb 3.0 headers and decent reputation

Get 2 sticks of 1600mhz ddr3 CAS 9 RAM

Try to get a PSU that is tier 1 or 2 from this list or just made by seasonic or super flower

get a WD blue drive or a seagate barracuda whichever is cheaper

See how much the 280x, 380 and 960 are If the 280x is cheaper than a 960 or just a bit more then get that, if the 380 is the same price as the 960 then get that unless the 280x is not much more. If the 960 is cheapest by a decent bit then get that.

This is just a template. Intel CPUs are almost always the way to go for gaming and the PSU you chose is probably pretty bad.

 

[sam2002hd]

I did not choose the psu he did. Il change the psu, Il stay with amd fx6300 tho and the 380 is too much the 960 is the cheapest one, and i think ram are probably fine. and i'l think about the mobo

 

[Rhezner]

the fx 6300 is OK but not nearly as good for gaming as an i3

 

[sam2002hd]

Il consider mobo and psu because mobo and psu he chose suck

1 Question is the h97 and b85 both compatible with the fx6300?

 

[Rhezner]

no they are not. They are completely differenct sockets, find a motherboard that is am3+ if you want a 6300

 

[sam2002hd]

this Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard or Gigabyte 970A-DS3P AMD 970 Motherboard

 

[Rhezner]

the second one is better, i have no idea what is available for you though.

 

[sam2002hd]

Both are available , So the gigabyte one is better?

 

[Rhezner]

actually get the m5a97, unless there is a huge price difference.

i was thinking of the r1.0

 

[Rhezner]

and make sure the ram you get is CAS 9 or under.
