Would this be a decent budget gaming rig?

[Benjamin_98]

I have this build http://pcpartpicker.com/list/pfd7WX.
But I decided to upgrade my graphics card would an Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB STRIX be a good upgrade. I know the performance will be better but how much? and will this graphics card bottleneck my amd a8-6600k?

I assume you have a case, power supply, dvd drive, operating system? and your cpu price hasn't added in so it will bring it above 300. also as far as a gaming rig you would want to go with the higher graphics card because your build is pretty far on the low end and wouldn't be strong enough to run current games such as Witcher, The forest, Farcry, etc. the gtx 750 is fairly old and sure run just fine with your cpu although I can't be certain I have never used amd. As far as price goes yeah its super cheap but you won't get far on the gaming part. Your actual cost will come out to ruffly 518.19 when you add your cpu and 750 Ti graphics card

No it´s not a good build, AMD processors are ATM a really bad choice, I´ts recommended you take an i5 6600k 6500 or even i3 6100 if you can´t afford.

although the A8 won´t bottleneck the 750, it would be much wiser to go on the Skylake architechture.

EDIT: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/qTzr6X something like this should be your minimum objective.

As the other have said, an i3 6100 would be a better choice. Not only do you have more upgrade options, but it will perform better than the APU in virtually any task. The HD 530 graphics are also better than the R7 240 graphics card.

Edit - I would not use DDR3 RAM with Skylake CPU's. Intel has warned that it can damage memory controllers long term.

This is my brothers pc and he does not play demanding games. I just wanted to add more juice to it and I thought that the gtx 750 Ti would be a good upgrade and it would run games a little better.

The 750 Ti would a very good upgrade. No need to worry about bottlenecking it. Google "game benchmarks for (the games he plays) and GTX 750 Ti" to get an idea of what you can expect.

I previously misread your question sorry about that. I would say definitely should be worth the money to upgrade the card as it is lacking.

The 750ti its definitely not worth to buy new. Buy a cheaper used one from eBay, its clearly more advantageous something like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-750-Ti-2GB-Graphics-Card-PCI-E-DVI-HDMI-Display-/252464975098?hash=item3ac815ccfa:g:RkIAAOSwCnxXi654

YOu got to rush if you buying the one I linked :lol:
