hi, can someone help me choose between the two builds
1. fx 4300, 4gb 1333mhz ram, 7790 dualx oc
2. amd a10 6800k, 8gb gskills 2133mhz ram, integrated

which of the two is going to have a good performance playing assassin's creed 3 and 4

#1 is lots better. Make sure your motherboard is AM3+ and not fm2.

 

[Lucian28]

is it okay to have a cheap motherboard.. Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 this one comes with the bundle, don't have money anymore to upgrade

If you really, really want this computer, go with it. Read up on the reviews of each item in the bundle. If any of them are under 3 stars, or eggs, Don't buy it. personally, I would wait for black friday or cyber monday deals. You will definitely get something better than that. the 7790 is adequate.

yeah i know its not a good bundle but im only iterested in how will it perform in gaming, specially the games i want to play, like assassin's creed... by the way im in the philippines so item availability are very limited here and the price are higher than they should be, and my budget is killing me.. anyway thanks for the help.. im surprised how people here are very helpful =)

ow sir one more thing, is 4gb ram will be enough?,..

 

[navask01]

8gb is the norm these days

if you tight on budget then 4 gb is also fine. I have myself a budget build with 4 gb ram and im ok with - runs smoothly. Havent tried BF4 tho. I guess there you need 8 gb. But if you have 4 slots in you MB you can buy additional 4 gb ram later if you feel the need.

 

[Lucian28]

yeah i guess im stuck with a 4gb ram for now, what do you suggest a 2x2gb or a 1x4gb.. the board that i will buy will have a 2 slot mem only..

 

[ethanroxx]

1x4gb.

 

[zichus]

Then yes - probably 1x4gb coz you can upgrade later on.
