Not sure why there was an A10 in those builds, an APU, with a graphics card as well. This 740 is a dedicated CPU, leaving more processing power unused by graphics.

A10-5800K and Athlon II X4 740
Standard supported memory: DDR3-1866

I think you need some good Fans:
- 1x 120 mm (front optional)
- 1x 92 mm (rear panel, pre-installed)
- 2x 120 mm (sidewall optional)

Is there a reason the Mobo and PSU are not included in your total?
As per performance it will be ok at 1080p for most current games (medium to high with playable fps) refer to the attached links if you want to know what it can do

Better build for the budget definitely goes to Iron

With such a tight budget I would go for a Pentium G3258 as it pretty much beats the athlon in most games plus you have the option for an i5 later on where with the Athlon you're pretty much stuck

I think irons looks good, but is the graphics card better than the GeForce 750?

 

[Calvin7]

Both video cards are 128-bit which is mid-range. If you want to play games on MAX get at least a 256-bit card.

In my opinion, yes, it is, simply because it is a newer card and seems to preform slightly better. Also, it's a tad cheaper than what 750's are going for right now.

The 260x isn't a beast, but you will get Mid to High range settings on most games.

The 260X and the 750 perform more or less the same. I would go for an R7 265 which is roughly five pounds more than the 260X but 25% faster.

will that 260x run ultra?
