Building a computer on 500€ budget

[thatskore]

Hello!

 

So my birthday is in a few days and I plan to build a new gaming PC for myself, my whole life I was gaming on PC and I really loved it, mostly I had only laptops which kinda sucked on gaming, so I had to play everything on low settings to achieve some playable frame rates. So I decided to get a new gaming PC to achieve some more playable frame rates on 1080p with mediumish settings and I hope that's gonna be possible with this budget.

 

So this is what I have right now:

 

Sorry for not using PCPartPicker, but for some reason PCPartPicker doesn't always recognize this shop (mindfactory.de) which is one of the best e-shops in Germany, anyways, it's not about the shop. So what do you think? Can this build play the games on 60fps on 1080p on medium~ settings? I would like to play games like: League of Legends, Fallout 4, GTA 5, CS:GO, Skyrim, Minecraft, Path of Exile, Brawlhalla, TF2 and other awesome games, but I think Fallout 4 would be the most demanding here, or maybe GTA 5, idk tho.

 

So what are you thoughts? If you have any changes or just an opinion, please write it down, if you could find other parts it would be awesome if you would find them on http://mindfactory.de

 

Thank you!

I don't think it's worth to do that on this budget, if I would have more money, I would go for i5, but imo, i3 just isn't worth to go for this budget.

Could I achieve same framerates even though I use fx-6300 and not fx-8320?

Yes, I do have an OS, I have Windows 8.1 and I'm gonna upgrade it to 10.

well, seeing how you already broke your budget by €70... if you CAN afford a better CPU, you might as well, but at that budget the 6300 is probably the best option. A Pentium G3258 has much better single threaded performance, but you won't be able to play some modern titles (I suspect that trend will continue) that require four cores.

 

As for the OS, if you want Windows, softwarehexe sells old Dell OEM Windows 7 for €20 or so. It will be tied to your motherboard, so you can't install it on another system later on, but it's 20 bucks so eh. You'll have to be mildly savvy though. 

 

Also, please follow your threads (top right), so you get a notification when someone replies!

Thanks for the tip about following, done.

 

Well, the budget is 500€ before buying the monitor and mouse and keyboard, so with all the stuff I have about 600€ to spend, so I guess my question is can I tweak this build to be better at gaming and basic stuff on 500€ budget? And is this build good?

Well not every part even appears over there and I have no idea why. Plus the shipping is really wrong, you don't have to play 7.99€ for all the parts, it's only 7.99€ for the whole package that you buy.

 

Talking about this build, is it better than mine?

 

EDIT: Just checked some benchmarks, r9 270x is better than GTX 750ti and the FX-6300 is worse than i5, but still, GPU is what matters the most.

The 270x outperforms the 750ti by a noticable amount. However, that i5 will pretty much wreck the 6300 in everything. Personally, I'd maybe try and save up another 40 bucks and make do with the i5's integrated graphics, then go out and buy the 270x. Don't know if that'd work for you. 

 

In games, it's quite hard to say. GPU-intensive stuff would benefit from the 270 and possibly not care too much about the CPU, but other games may get a huge boost from the i5.

There you go, build with 270x, but it's a 600€ build
