Hey guys! Finally, after days of wait my PC is finally here. Its a budget system so no GTX Titans or Intel Xeons- just basic awesome stuff.
Here is the Config:
FX 6300
NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti
Kingston 8 GB Gaming RAM
MOBO-Not sure 😛

Would be using it for Photoshop, 3D modelling, 3D rendering, Video editing, Video FX, and other basic stuff obviously such as browsing etc.
So how is it?

It looks like a competent machine, so it won't max new games, but I'd expect it to play them all on "enjoyable" settings, which imho is what counts.
What is the brand and model (not just wattage) of your PSU?

 

[Nathan Willis]

I would rate your system 7 out of 10.
I would get a SSD for your OS and programs/Games.
Get a 1TB HDD for your data.
Also, get a good cooler. (Noctua)
For your MOB look at MSI, Asus, Gigabyte, or ASRock.
Make sure you get a good brand PSU.
You do not want to fry your new computer.

Also I won't be doing any kind of gaming

If it is a "CX," make sure it gets good airflow so it doesn't get too warm.

If your not gaming your system is great!

Although I wont be doing gaming but I would surely do a lot of 3D rendering, Photoshop,bAfter Effects etc.

good low end budget gaming pc which should play medium on most games

But how can I rate, when you don't give ram timing or if its 1 or 2 sticks totally 8gb, 2x4gb is way better than 1x8 since it allows for dual channel enabled
motherboard not sure, doesn't help us, is it a good one? overclockable? or a cheap $30 one?
power supply? is it a good one, rated well? or is it going to go poof in 9 months and fry your system?
case? is it a good one? allow for decent airflow? case fans? how many case fans?

example of how/why these are important

fx 6300 stock clock stock fan $100
750ti generic #120
Kingston 8gb ram 1x8 at 1333hz $30
mobo msi basic $30
psu crap $20
hhd 200gb $20
case ultra 1 rear fan $30
$350

vs

6300 OC 4.2ghz $100
CPU cooler coolermaster hyper evo 212 $30
gtx 750ti evga acx cooler $150
hhd 1tb wd blue/black maybe ssd $50
case corsair 2intake fans 1 exhaust$60
motherboard asus m5a99fx pro/evo $110
Kingston 8gb 2x4gb 1600-1866 $70
psu evga/xfx/seasonic 80plus gold/bronze/plat $60
$600 plus the rest

Build 1 runs hot, poor psu might result in short, stock clock speeds, graphics performance limited by cooling, ram speeds slower, case offers minimal cooling causing chip to throttle gpu to throttle quicker and components to get warmer thus reducing life

Build 2, runs cooler yet still allows significant cpu overclock, well rated psu lasts long and wastes less energy, graphics performance optimal, ram timings doubled and dual channel enabled, case allows optimal cooling keeping cpu motherboard and graphics cool


Now, not trashing you or your system. But given very limited specs, I cant very well rate your system, I can offer a very vague estimate on a very broad statement saying medium settings 'should' be playable

Well, again, limited specs, but instead of gaming, ram 2 good stick would indicate huge editing advantage, 750ti will offer very little rendering gains, don't know about overclocking chip which could yield great performance boost as cooling/motherboard/case is unknown, don't know hhd if its 5400/7200rpm or ssd

If your running AE you may want to get an SSD. That will improve rendering times.

I just built a fx 6300, with asus me97fx le board, corsair vengeance 2x8gb 1866 ram, corsair h80i cpu cooler, xfx 7870 dd gpu, xfx 650w psu, corsair 650t case, added 4 120mm noctura high performance pwm fans, with 240gb intel 530ssd and 2x 1tb wd blue hhd in raid. Overlocked chip to 4.5ghz, as well as got great gains on graphics card due to dual fan cooling. Sold it to my cousin for $600 and she uses it for photoshop and loves it.

Id still rate that system a 6 for rendering/editing purposes, and every component was top notch well thought out

Yeah, tomorrow when the PC Arrives I'll see its full specification and then tell you about it.

 

[Nathan Willis]

Sounds good!

 

[Dblkk]

is it like an hp? or is it a custom built?

 

[Dblkk]

I only ask, as if its like a brand name one, often times specs on mobo psu and such aren't provided. Nor I guess are even needed as usually its bare minimum, but at worst are covered by warrenty.
