New possible build

[WIPGamer]

I have a build that someone else has recommended to me but, i just want to see what other people think http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gt3JD3 <----- that is the link. Also, what would be a good monitor for under 150$ USA. Lastly, I am thinking about getting either a G710+ or a K70 with either blue or red cherry. The G710 is 80-90$ while the K70 is 130. Is the keyboard worth the extra money?

i go by ratings off of from newegg not by part picker, an 80gig ssd is useless, one game is 50, and full, what are you gonna do boot windows faster?the ram will run fine and its excellent ram, better to have too much over head then too little, the i3-4160 is faster in single thread(most used) and only looses by a minimal margin even in multi-thread but cost half as much. most games dont use 4 or 8 cores cept for battlefield3 is really only one i can think that benefits from it,the rest of the "multi threded games" use 2 cores and he will benefit from faster speeds.

he is on a budget and he wants the "grey goose" of a grafic card, it just makes scence and fits
he could have 6 cores and multi thread what ever he want with a fx6300 for99$ have a better board with more hookups for 89$ and future proof his pc but instead we are running head first into a brick wall because no-one will even give a AMD a second look rather he wants to overclock or not!
fx6300 is most defiantly faster and better than either of these CPU's we are going with, and cheaper non the less...

honestly with non of our builds would he be able to upgrade anything we are even shaving of money for a decent case, in a year from now when the i3 or i5 simply isnst good enough, he wont even be able to fit a new board in the case cause it is all micro itx which is like the opposite of a gaming rig unless your buying a steam box(he isnt)

if he dosent want to overclock or anthing, he should get himself an xbox one i heard windows 10 will soon be able to go on there, key board monitor mouse, call it a day, he can game all he wants. for 4+years.

^^this machine will out-perform any one of those uptop ^^
you still have room to swap out a CPU for a better on later, and you can SLI /cross fire it .
the grafiscard is faster than the 970. if you want the 970 its 3$ more

Good to hear that, although Newegg often has some... odd... reviews.

Why are you putting games on your SSD? 95% of the games out there gain absolutely no benefit from being on an SSD... you load faster onto the map and have to sit there waiting for other players to load, woo hoo.

I would happily go with a 6300 in a recommendation for someone who is going to overclock; for someone who isn't comfortable with it, there's not compelling evidence to buy it. It's also simply NOT faster nor better than either of the intel chips we've been talking about.



If you're just arguing for the sake of getting the best answer, mate, I'll give it to you... but look at what you're doing:

1) You used hwcompare as a serious argument. That in itself is a joke, and if you haven't been told this yet, "spec" websites like that are absolutely meaningless. Go compare a GTX 9800GT with a GTX 670. It will look like the 670 is only about twice as fast as the 9800GT, when it is so far beyond it that it's a joke.

2) You're claiming that we're building "micro ITX" computers, which don't even exist. Mini-itx is a somewhat restrictive size (but there are dozens of great options for mini-itx motherboards to upgrade with). We were looking at micro-ATX motherboards, which are just as useful as full-atx motherboards, are CHEAPER, and are in no way restrictive. You seem to be saying that a gaming computer has to be big. There are a lot of us who would highly disagree with that.

3) You then go on to say that the OP should either learn how to overclock or should buy an xbox one. You're seriously insulting the guy that you're supposed to be here helping.

4) The two of us arguing is, quite simply, not even remotely productive, is filling the thread with poor information, and worst of all, confusing to someone who's new to all of this... like the person who came to us with a question in the first place.

EDIT: And you're also $100 over budget. Come on...

WIP gamer, if you have questions, you can PM either of us using the small red envelope that you see under our avatars. I'll be leaving the thread so as to not continue this disagreement.

I am so confused....
