Opinions on this Rebuild

[Karigaia]

I decided to rebuild a gaming PC that i hope to purchase
here is the link: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/EclipseLeo/saved/#view=BpXqqs
I think the CPU is cool, for the price but its an APU aswell as a GPU, so yeah... Opinions please.

I'm not a big fan of APUs because of the limited upgrade path, but if your going to go that route the FM2+ is the way to go. The GPU is good for entry to mid level gaming.

I Don't want to use the Graphics with the APU, since im going to use the 750Ti so should i keep or change this cpu/apu

What is you budget on the system as a whole?

 

[ww1superstar]

The CPU is pretty bad for gaming at least. Other than that looks really nice in my opinion.

Im a student, so its not much but its £360-£370 which is around $561-$577

How does that look? You could go for the MSI P33 motherboard which is about £20 cheaper but lakes a lot of features and also with the pentium you can get overclocks on this and in the future you can get an unlocked i5 or i7. I uped the psu and gpu.

If you want to use the original build then definitly change cpu to the athlon 860k.

Also what exactly do you want out of this pc for it's use.

I'm not a fan of intel, so ill change to the 860K and change the gpu

 

[Gracodana]

Why don't you like intel? also what exactly are you using this for, I was mostly saying that because for just gaming then the intel is just superior in both upgrade paths and flat out performance, but if you were using it for editing or streaming or maybe work/school then maybe the 860k would be better.

 

[Karigaia]

I Primarily want to use this for gaming, and video editing/livestreaming

 

[littleleo]

Unfortunately Intel is a much better option then AMD. But buy what you feel the most comfortable with.

 

[Karigaia]

Would someone recommend an Intel CPU, not too expensive willing to extend my budget, thanks! Not a pentium or I3 tho

 

[Karigaia]

I Redid my thingy and extended my budget http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/EclipseLeo/saved/#view=Wg2G3C

 

[Gracodana]

[Karigaia]

This is what I would recommend for the i5 build, You would want a good psu as it allows so much upgradability in the future and it's just more reliable anyway. You can upgrade the gpu later anyway and this cpu will run any game out at the moment on ultra easily.

You didn't put a hdd in your last build so I took one out of this as well.

Also as your on a limited budget you might want to look at second hand as there are some seriously good deals at the moment. I saw a gtx 680 for £100 not to long ago.

The 860K is still a great CPU no matter what anybody thinks.

It does depend on what you want to a degree. For upgrade paths it's one of the worst cpu's out at the moment.
