I need help with :-

1) GPU ( Graphic card )
2) Case ( i think one that i have is pretty good but please let me know about other cases if you can.
3) and power supply
It showed 302 W in pc part picker so please let me know 500w is good ? or pc part picker isnt accurated about it.

Thank you all

This is what I'd go with, it has better quality parts for the SSD and PSU, and those games will run just fine on the i3

$210 is a terrible price for a GTX960. The R9 380 is better and cheaper. You could probably get an even more powerful R9 380x for $210.

That is not a very good psu. Not very reliable.

Scrap the ssd so you can spend more money on the psu and possibly video card.



This would be much better for cheaper.

are you fucking crazy? trying to play GTA5 on an i3 you need at least an i5 for decent fps

 

[pj2742]

I didn't meant to vote -1 I thought it was plus 1
I am new to this website
And that i3 is good tho
But not that good Ryan. You can run GTA in that. He is not crazy. He just good

Why it's not reliable can you explain me please.

Psu wattage and efficiency rating has nothing to do with build quality or reliability. That particular EVGA 500w psu is not very reliable. The XFX I selected is an extremely reliable unit that would last years.


The i5 4460 is better than the i3 6100, but the i3 is not as bad as people seem to think.

Yes but think about the future if its a budget gaming rig then it wont last over a year almost and then he will have to buy another cpu that will work with it, if hes fine with the extra money being spent later because he doesnt have it now then yes its fine but the two cores would not run it on very high settings at all from what ive read and heard

 

[pj2742]

Guys can you list some good GPU under 50$ if you can :/


And I want an NVIDIA card not AMD :/

the cheapest good nvidia card i can think of is the 750ti

 

[pj2742]

Is that better than gtx 960

 

[CTurbo]

No the 750ti is not as good as the GTX960.



$50 will not get you anything useful. That is a completely unrealistic price range for a video card.

 

[Ryan Torrence]

'
no 750ti is cheaper however

the 960 is the most value gpu you can get tbh if budget build its kinda what your going for if you want max power/dollar

yet the 750ti is also $100 cheaper if im correct

Lol I looked up 750ti is wayyy worst than 960 I looked up its for small build

 

[pj2742]

shit i didn't look at the number of that i3 thats a skylake one isnt it?.....probably should have read that, if you do the i3 however you will n eed the after market cooler(about 20$) and they are a lot better so you could go for either really the stock coolers will still do fine tho
