PC Build Compatibility (AMD A8 7600)

[joneslaw]

Hi! I am planning to buy a budget PC and thus, actually going for an APU as my top choice. I just want to ask here whether or not my build plan will pose any COMPATIBILITY issues (although I've checked already through research, just asking for confirmation from other people 😀 ) :

-Processor: AMD A8-7600 3.10-3.80GHz 4-Core Processor
-Motherboard: MSI A68HM-E33 A68 Chipset
-RAM: Kingston Hyper X Fury 8GB (2x4gb) Dual Channel DDR3 @ 1866 MHz
-Storage: Seagate 1TB 7200 RPM
-Casing: XIGMATEK ARES 1701
-Power Supply: XIGMATEK XCP-A500 500WATTS 80 PLUS

Also, I want to ask if they can run pretty well the games I play. The games I am playing are eSports titles: DOTA 2, CS:GO and League of Legends, (expecting 25-30 average FPS on the first two at ultra settings and 60 FPS on LOL at ultra). Are the components compatible? Will be 500 W enough for power supply?

Open for other component suggestions and other issue statements. Thanks in advance! 😀

It's all compatible, but that psu is terrible garbage.

The A8 would be decent at 720p, but it will struggle at 1080p.

Thanks for the answer. Any PSU recommendations, perhaps?
Actually I already have my monitor with 768px and not really planning to get a 1080p one.

Try to get a 2133mhz RAM kit.

A 300-350w Seasonic or the Antec 380w Bronze would be great.

Yeah, about that. Will the dual channel 2133 MHz kit be fine for the mobo? 'Cause I've checked the MSI A68HM-E33 specs (MSI website) and it says it supports ddr3 1333/1600/1866/2133*(*OC). What does the Overclcock thing mean? Will it be really fine to get 2133 instead of 1866?

Thanks for the PSU recommndation!

You can buy the 1866mhz and overclock it to 2133mhz, or you can buy the 2133mhz and it will default to 1866mhz, but overclock it back to 2133mhz easier.

1866 is max official spec. 2133 is clocked above official spec. The APU like more bandwidth and I think 2400 might even be good.

Oh, I get it now. Thanks a lot! 😀
