Is this $600 build going to be compatible? :)

[Jacko99]

Just wondering if this pc order would be compatible and do you think its good for a $600 budget?

These the build is compatible. However you wouldn't need a 2400MHz RAM if you are gaming as a 1866MHz will do too. So some money could be saved there.

Do you have a case?

If you will overclock then you will need a better motherboard and a CPU cooler. Other than that, that is a solid build.

Just get cheaper 1600Mhz RAM. The difference won't be noticeable. With the money saved, try to get a faster processor FX-8350.

 

[Jacko99]

the 2400 mhz ram was the same price so i thort why not

 

[Jacko99]

oh i could get a little cheap ram but not by much

 

[lightcloud]

Will you overclock though?

And do you already have a case?

 

[Jacko99]

yeah i have a case and im not dure if i would want to over clock i would if only it didnt cost me extra money

 

[lightcloud]

Maybe consider this build. It is above $600 but with a much better graphics card (able to maxed out most games). And if you want to overclock in the future, then slap on a CPU cooler.

i dont think that build will work unless i can get it with same price on amazon since im in australia theres lots of shipping costs.

 

[huilun02]

Overclocking doesn't cost money, but your board, power and cooling has to allow for it.

 

[lightcloud]

Nothing there I would change then. Solid build mate.

 

[Jacko99]

getting 1600 mhz ram will that be alot worse

 

[lightcloud]

No if it is only for gaming, but I had rather get a 1866MHz instead. Wouldn't cause any FPS difference though in games.

 

[Jacko99]

the difference between 1866mhz ram and 2400mhz ram is only $10 difference should i stick with 2400mhz one?

 

[huilun02]

getting 1600 mhz ram will that be alot worse

No. But if you can get 2400Mhz for close to the same price, might as well get that.

Upon installation they may not operate at full 2400Mhz. If thats the case you will have to set it in the BIOS.

the difference between 1866mhz ram and 2400mhz ram is only $10 difference should i stick with 2400mhz one?

$10 isn't much. But your motherboard must be able to support it. Some motherboards require the user to overclock the RAM to make it compatible or it may just run a 1600MHz instead of 2400MHz.

 

[Jacko99]

would that motherboard i was planning on getting run it?

 

[lightcloud]

For your motherboard the official Asus website says you will need to overclock the RAM. SO if you want 2400MHz,you will need to overclock. Check out the specs of your mothebriad on the Asus website.

 

[Jacko99]

but if i get 1600 or 1866 i wont have to overclock?

 

[lightcloud]

You will still need to overclock it in BIOS.

For a budget build does your own look good to me.You could save a little by going for the non "X" version of that gpu and overclock it yourself,this one,
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr927oc2gd
if i'm right is it cheaper.A topic about it and it's overclocking capabilities,
http://www.overclock.net/t/1449757/gigabyte-r9-270-overclocking-ability

You,imo,could better go for this motherboard since you're not going to use an ssd,
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga78lmtusb3
this has no sata 3 ports,but has some overclocking capability.

It would be nice to have some prices with those parts,it makes it easier to compare in the partpicker.The psu is probably an item which could be gotten cheaper,but i can't say for sure.Just like with that gpu above.

That ram btw will start at it's spd speed which probably is either 1333 or 1600mhz,my thoughts are the latter.

 

[Jacko99]

im really confused right now i have read most of that so im only going to get 1866 mhz of ram 2x4g so im going to pirate win 7 so when ive built the computer install win 7 and how do i get this ram situation working i dont quite get it

 

[lightcloud]

Just follow YouTube videos or articles on the net.

Oh! Never ever mention anything about pirating or any illegal activity. Please remove that. Thanks mate.

 

[Vic 40]

im going to pirate win 7

Don't mention that!

Read the last part of my previous post for the ram.You could also set things manually if necessary.

 

[Jacko99]

so what ram are you saying to buy?
