Is this build good for gaming?

[Rishi Kambil]

After reading a lot about computers and googling many forums.

I am confused between two builds

1)fx-6300 amd[cpu]
radeon7750 1gb gddr5[gpu]
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB 1333 mhz

2) a10 6800k amd [apu]
**no discrete GPU**
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM 2133 MHZ
I Understand that an APU needs a very fast ram.


Could somebody please tell me which one is better for gaming.

which one of these builds would give me better fps.

BUDGET IS 530$ inclusive of everything.( cpu,gpu,mobo,ram,psu,case,keyboard&mouse,dvd)

The first build will give you better gaming performance. I'd give the toms guide "best gaming cpu for the money" for a good look ant how different procs stack against each other price\performance wise. In my opinion an entry level intel i5 is worth saving your pennies for.

The 7750 is better at gaming then the IGP found in that APU. To my knowledge no one has put out an APU better then the 6670. Because it's the GPU that renders the screen, when gaming you need a strong one. I to would suggest the first build, though both are fairly weak/low end builds.

Agree with Axi - I couldn't make the case for an APU in a recent mid-range build I did, ended up with the FX6350 & a GTX640...

 

[BSim500]

Definitely the former. You'll get more than 2.5x the frame rates on a 7750 vs an APU.

As good as the apu graphics are, I would not go that way, even for a budget gamer.
The graphics card is more important than the cpu.
If you have a combined cpu/gpu budget of $250, split it 1/3 for the cpu and 2/3 for the graphics card.
A X4 Athlon 750K @$85 or a G2130 and a 7850 or GTX650ti boost @$170 would be a better combination.

Actually here in India the 7850 sells for ~215$ , way above my budget.

You know that amd processor is not a bad choice when on a budget. I would try to look at a higher end graphics card though. That being said your first build is not a bad one as long as being stuck around medium settings and or a lower resolution (modern titles) is fine for you.

No idea of your pricing. Perhaps a 7790?

will it give me 30+fps on low to medium settings/low-res ( modern titles )??

FX 6300 is a good choice for budget rig. Pair that with the best GPU you can afford. If the Athlon II 760k is available in your area, you could go that route and be able to spend a bit more on GPU.

If heavy gaming is a priority then go for a cheap pentium ivy brige+650Ti or 7790.It will be much better than either the A10 build or the FX6300+7750 build.

For newer titles, today and going forward, the 760k would be better choice of CPU.

 

[Rishi Kambil]

Thanks for your opinion,people.
Unfortunately amd 760k & 750k are not available in my area, so im pretty much stuck with the fx-6300.

Could someone suggest a mobo with usb3 and SATA 3 for the am3+ socket? around 60-65$
As of now, i have chosen Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Motherboard.(no sata3)

 

[logainofhades]

That motherboard will suffice for your budget. It supports 125w cpu's so at the very least you can bump the multiplier of that FX 6300 to match the FX 6350 without issue.

[logainofhades]

I would go with 8gb ram at a minimum for a gaming rig.
