I saw that Linus talked about something similar on the WAN show... So i guess i need to register a vessel account.

I thank everyone who has answered so far! But it looks mostly like words only.... Does anyone actually have a system like that or similar built?

I am trying to build super-budget PC, but I dont have te resources to test out builds. So I ask our great LTT community for help. INTEL S5000XVN2 // 50 USD 2 x Intel Xeon E5440 Quad Core 2.83GHZ // 50 USD 16 GB of DDR2 RAM // 50 USD Generic 600W PSU // SilverPower SP-600A2C 600W R9 280x 1 TB HDD Is that good enough for Witcher3/Ultra settings/60+ fps? Right now i have a : AMD athlon II x4 620 + r9 280x - running Witcher3 High/Ultra with hairworks - avg 35 fps. Considering I have that PSU and a GPU... I would need a case to mount that MOBO so + ~50 USD.. This means 200 USD for upgrade to that system... Is it worth it? Or is there any better options?

This headset! It goes so well with my desk and headset stand. Have not heard anything about the sound, but the specks seem promising. Have been looking for a headset with dark wood theme for a quite a while now.

Will 860K be enough to not bottleneck my 280x in games like Witcher 3, GTA 5 ? And still ... Does anyone know any good budget motherboards?

Hello Right now I have : CPU : AMD Athlon II X4 620 RAM : 6.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 533MHz MOBO : Acer FRX780M (r9 280x running in PCIe v1) -> more info http://puu.sh/jZyys/dfd7b73f8e.png GPU : Sapphire R9 280x dual-x POWER : Silver Power 600W Lightning Blue 80 plus I am planning on getting i5 2500k. This would mean also an motherboard upgrade. So what are to good budget options for me? Adding SSD's soon. Also does anyone know any good CPU coolers if I am planning to OC 2500k? (Evo 212 is too tall for my case.)

SP 600 A2C 600W

Can you link any reviews that explain why this PSU is terrible. Going through google I can only find positive reviews about this PSU. And I was searching in 3 different languages (English, Russian, Estonian).

At the time a made the photos it was not connected well, but now I am using zip ties and soft material on corners to keep vibrations away from case.

Why exactly? I got it for free - that's why I use it.

Hey! I have had this small mATX case for a while now and would not want to upgrade to a new case. But new budget components are quite hot. Right now my GPU gets to 76 oC and CPU gets to 63 oC under load (~1h) and rise slowly. Idle temps are CPU 50 oC and GPU around 40 oC. But right now saving up for a new mobo + cpu I would rather invest into unneeded cooling. And yeah... This machine gets quite noisy ( CPU fan ~2,2k rpm and GPU idling at 1450 rpm. Question: Anyone has any suggestions that could improve the acoustics and cooling without investing a lot. My PC : CPU : AMD Athlon II X4 620 RAM : 6.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 533MHz MOBO : Acer FRX780M (r9 280x running in PCIe v1) -> more info http://puu.sh/jZyys/dfd7b73f8e.png GPU : Sapphire R9 280x dual-x POWER : Silver Power 600W Lightning Blue 80 plus 12cm Case fan on back 8cm Case fan in front running from a CPU fan connection splitter.

Seems like I am not even able to overclock with AMD OD/... can't change most of the settings... Everything is greyed out

Yea it's AM3 board... And I can buy used parts with guarantee for them to work...

Hello I just upgraded my GPU and this helped to boost my fps in most of the games. But me CPU is bottle necking my new GPU hard. I am on a budget and I don't play games as much anymore. But I am still planning CPU upgrade. My PC : CPU : AMD Athlon II X4 620 RAM : 6.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 533MHz MOBO : Acer FRX780M (r9 280x running in PCIe v1) -> more info http://puu.sh/jZyys/dfd7b73f8e.png GPU : Sapphire R9 280x dual-x POWER : Silver Power 600W Lightning Blue 80 plus I was planning OC my CPU, but it is locked. PS Is there any way to still OC it? My options: New MOBO + i5 (4460, 4690) Keep my old MOBO + FX (6300,8530) Get new MOBO + FX (6300, 8530) QUESTION Can someone give me his opinions??

Thank you!
