What is the Best Cheap Gaming Custom Pc

[gabatienza]

HI!!

I'm planning to buy this for my cheap custom pc

Processor: amd Fx4100
Videocard: sapphire ati radeon hd 7770 vaper x oc edition
Motherboard: Asrock 990FX extreme 3
Ram: kingston hyper x 4g ddr3
HDD:SEAGATE 500GB 7200RPM SATA



i don't know if the motheroard is good enough

We cannot help you without a budget.

That is WAY too much motherboard for a low end CPU and GPU like that.

I would drop down to the ASRock 970 Extreme3 or 4 Motherboard and swap out the FX4100 for a FX4300

maybe i'll swap it out with FX6100 is this good enough too?

the 4100 and 6100 are crap. Get the fx-6300. Its considerably better. Drop the motherboard WAY down. something like $70-$80. And spend the money on a much better GPU.

I"ll just get an intel i3 3220

Thats a good choice. Get a b75 motherboard to go with it.

How about the sapphire ati radeon 7770 vaperx oc is good enough to run games like bf3 on mediun high, AC3 and gta 4

 

[tiny voices]

I would try to get an hd 7850 or a gtx650ti. Those games should run at medium to high settings at 1080p with a 7770. BF3 will be medium, not high. But, if you want to play new games that are more GPU intensive you will be stock on medium setting at most with a 7770 at 1080p.

Maybe with 1366x768 resolution will it run on high?

 

[tiny voices]

Yes more than likely it will.

Yes more than likely it will.

You told me to get a b75 mother board. I found this asrock b75pro3-m is this alright?
its micro atx. is it compatible with the sapphire?

Sorry if i asked too many questions.

 

[tiny voices]

Its a perfectly fine motherboard, yes.

Do a 500w psu alright with this?
Thank you somuch for your help. 😀

 

[ShadyHamster]

A 500w psu will be more then enough for that setup, just make sure its from a good quality brand, i always recommend seasonic or corsair, but there other brand which will be just as good such as xfx, antec or coolermaster just to name a few.

Do you know a good quality brand chassis?

 

[ShadyHamster]

Have you got a set budget for a case?

The Corsair Carbide 200R or 300R are great cases
Or if you want a small form factor case to go with the asrock b75pro3-m the BitFenix Prodigy is an amazing little case.
Anything from antec, coolermaster, fractal design or silver stone would be a good choice too.

Maybe cases below $75 will do

The Corsair Carbide 200R is $60 on newegg:

Thats what i would be getting (in fact if it was $60 here in Australia i would get it right now lol)

Maybe see what others can suggest for cases.

Rosewill challenger
Corsair 200r
NZXT Source 210

All very good cases

Well i'm still thinking what video card i should buy because the sapphire hd 7770 vapor x oc edition has 1100mhz core clock and my other choice is the evga gtx650ti sc has 1071 core clock.

 

[tiny voices]

the 650ti will be better in everything.

 

[gabatienza]

the 650ti will be better in everything.

I also found another mobo and its msi b75ma-p45 its a little cheaper than the asrock its mostly the same i think its good

 

[tiny voices]

I prefer the ASRock but this board will do as well.
