which should i go with

[Timothy_16]

i have 2 computers i can go with, I have one i could build like this Asus m5a78l-m/usb3 no graphics card, 600 watt psu bronze cert im buying soon 2x4gb ddr3 1600mhz cpu, amd fx vershera quad core black edition 4.2ghz cpu, 750gb hard drive, dvdrw optical drive, or i could i swap each part and put in my asus m5a97 r2.0 mobo, with no graphics card or even on board video port. if im suggested to go with it i need suggestion for graphics card for it that wont be expensive, the only games i tend on playing is like skyrim and minecraft nothing really heavy,

Today, I would not put any money into a FX based gaming build.

Agreed, FX AM3 is a dead platform, and your quad core (a 4xxx serries) is very week for today's standards.

For $200 USD you get a pentium G4560 + B250 motherboard + 8gb ddr4 memory. It has integrated graphics but I honestly dont know if it will play any games or not. This combo is actually better then an fx 83xx serries at anything that wont use all 8 cores, and provides a very nice upgrade path for the future.

I am not looking to play every game out there from todays stand point, im looking to play like skyrim on my one of my two choices i have for a desktop, im not spending alot of money to get a desktop going, im just looking to play the only two games i play is skyrim and minecraft, i dont play any other game out there, just looking at which of these boards of mine would be best, i know my laptop handles both just as good as any desktop, and its only an i3 1.9ghz cpu which i can run infestation on no problems, and skyrim and so forth, but which of these two desktops should i finish, i already have them i minus well use them, no sense in waisting more money to buy a different board and cpu just to play these few games.
