[adi778]

hello i have just ordered a comp im building and was wondering if anyone had a simaler or the same build and what i can expect from it

asus m5a78l-m motherbord
amdfx6300 black edition
corsa cx500 80 bronze plus
MSI Overclocked Radeon HD 7850 OC AMD Graphics Card - 1GB

with wireless card an 4 gigs of vengance ram
do be nice please lol its a budget build all for £430

u have done good with the budget but u chose a very old motherboard u will probably need a bios update for fx cpu
remember to add a cpu cooler before u overclock

what could be the problem be with the motherbord i am a casual gamer i dont need ultra settings at 1080 but if its that old might be worth sending back and getting better one if so which one i dont really wanna spend more than 100

can u link me the motherboard there are a lot of versions
the chipset we recommend for fx series are 9xx
something like this will be a good choice

thats what i have got coming but just looking at the one you linked it has heat sinks and can it have 2x gpu's? im learning all the little parts by sight so i dont really know what the works on the right ups mean yet lol

 

[l89]

i will not recommend that motherboard
and yes the motherboard i linked supports crossfire and is better in every aspect

i just looked into the msi mb and they seem to get bad reviews for power and overclocking is this true?im not interested at the moment but a possibility

The g46 is supposed to have fixed the overheating issues ... but there are some reviews saying it still has the problems the G45 and earlier boards had

Id buy an Asrock Extreme 3 or , Asus M5A97 R2.0
