$850 AMD Build. Need Help!

[jomnepo]

I just want to say right now, I'm not from America, I'll be using a converter to USD. So these prices are just approximations. Thank you.

 

I just want to ask you guys, what Processor and motherboard should I use with this build? It would be better if you guys will suggest the FX Series, but anyways, if its another AMD Processor, it'll be good. 

 

Processor: ?

Motherboard: ?

Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) 1600 CL9 @ $73

Power Supply: Hec Cougar PowerX 550w @ $63

Graphics Card: Palit GeForce GTX 650Ti 2GB GDDR5 w/ Boost OC Edition @ $180

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB @ $69

SSD: Crucial M4 SSD 64GB @ $78

DVD Drive: LiteOn iHAS124 @ $22

Chassis: Cougar Challenger @ $81

Monitor: BenQ GL2055A 20" @ 112

 TOTAL : @678 

 

Can you guys help me find the AMD Processor and motherboard  that can really max out the performance of the build? :)

To keep it on the cheap go FM2 socket?

Well FX 6300 is around 130$ and the cheapest motherboard for it is around 80-90$. If this prices are ok with you, i can help you pick a motherboard.

ga 990xa ud3 is a really solid motherboard. 100$..

I would suggest you drop the SSD and put the money towards a good CPU (and motherboard). Either some form of Intel i5 or an FX-8350.

 

While an SSD is nice to have, it would be better to not compromise on the CPU just to fit one into the budget. Also, 64Gigs is kind of small - about all you can fit on it is the OS.

That is the purpose of a 64GB SSD - just to put an OS. And about the cpu and mobo: i think FX 8350 and motherboard for it are too much for his budget of 850$ (CPU only is around 200$ and the mobo is 150$). That is why i suggested FX 6300 or 6350. :)

An 8350 costs $60 (US) more than a 6350. The SSD is $78. You do the math. :)

 

Also, for a budget build, you don't need a $150 motherboard. For example - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130637

With his configuration he will see more benefit by the SSD then by better CPU. My opinion is no need to go so high with 8350. :) But he can decide for himself. We are just giving advices here :)

u should drop the ssd and get the 8350 u might not use its full potential now but later on u will u dont need an ssd i dont have one and im fine also its easier to upgrade and ssd then a cpu and with ssds becoming so cheap in the future u will be able to buy a 120gb for the same price its really not worth getting a 60gb ssd and not worth loosing the cpu performance for one imo. look at all linus budget builds they dont have ssd's he says if he had more money he would put one in but never jeopardize's cpu performance a ssd is more of a luxury than a necessity.

Isn't there a better AMD graphics choice over the 650 Ti? I think the 7850 is the 650 Ti's competitor, right? AMD has been beating Nvidia in pretty much every price bracket except the extremely high end, so you should look into that.
