i already calculated all the price, i have everything on newegg and amazon on cart

 

just im thorn about mobo, please guys i need nerdy decision

[Sintezza]

Asus M5A99FX pro R2.0

Its the best board of those 3.

 

The Asrock is crap, stay the hell away from that one.

 

The Gigabyte, im not a fan of gigabyte am3+ boards at all "personaly".

Because of the issues they had in the past.

The new revision 4.0 seems a littlebit better, and solved some of the thermal issues.

But i don´t trust the crap lol

[wtfxmitchell]

those are all diffrent sockets.... wich cpu are you using?

[vet folks]

i updated it so please take a look at it again

 

Asrock is out of the box then (puff!)

[Sintezza]

Asus M5A99FX pro R2.0

 

Gigabyte GA-990FXA UD3 rev 4.0

 

I would personaly go with the Asus like i said above.

 

Edit: also chance your current ram, those corsair vengeance highprofile ones, for the low profile versions. cause those high profile ones, maybe interfer with the bigger cpu cooler

[wtfxmitchell]

the msi z97 and asus b85 are differnt sockets, they cannot fit your fx 6300, i would go with the other asus

[vet folks]

for this build

 

is 6 core enough or just "get the 8 core" 

 

6 core $123

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/amd-cpu-fd6300wmhkbox

 

8 core    $179

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/amd-cpu-fd8350frhkbox

 

both amd anyway, but the price really is huge

is t worth? ive been reading stuff and blabla most games doesnt even use 4 cores but for future gaming 8 cores are needed according to youtube tech guys

but im leaning towards the 6 core right now

[s3ns3]

yeah get a locked i5 haswell and a cheap mobo

[vet folks]

the msi z97 and asus b85 are differnt sockets, they cannot fit your fx 6300, i would go with the other asus

 

thats msi z87

 

but im getting the asus m5A99FX pro R2.0, is that also a diff socket?

[wtfxmitchell]

thats msi z87

 

but im getting the asus m5A99FX pro R2.0, is that also a diff socket?

the 99fx will go with all the fx cpu's by amd so yes

(i meant z87 instead of z97)

Ok, with an $800 budget you can get a much better performing machine.  In order to do this, you will have to put off purchasing high end keyboard and mice.  Those are easily added later, focus on spending the bulk on your money on core components that have a direct impact on gaming performance.  Here is my proposed $800 build:

 

PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JB7Gbv

Price breakdown by merchant: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JB7Gbv/by_merchant/

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($180.00) <-- This is an in-store Microcenter Price. You can use the Price Match feature on Staples.com or Frys.com to get it shipped to you for the same price + cost of shipping. FX is an old architecture.

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler  ($25.98 @ Newegg) <-- Amazing CPU cooler, wont find a better price to performance CPU cooler.  Usually $30, its on sale for $25.

Motherboard: MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($75.66 @ Newegg) <-- Good motherboard that allows for Xfire down the line if you ever want to.  Also allows for overclocking.

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($82.99 @ Newegg) <-- Some nice RAM, it is in a bundle deal on Newegg with the GPU so real price is $70.

Storage: Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($59.99 @ Amazon) <-- You will want an SSD to install your OS on and for overall system speed and performance.

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($54.99 @ Newegg)

Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 280 3GB TWIN FROZR Video Card  ($199.99 @ Newegg) <-- The R9 280 is the best performing card for your money.  It will play any game at high-ultra settings at 1080p and overclocks like a dream.  Much better than the 270(X).

Case: Enermax ECA3253-BW ATX Mid Tower Case  ($29.99 @ Newegg) <-- A nice case for $30, comes with all of the necessary accessories.

Power Supply: Corsair Builder 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($34.99 @ Newegg) <-- A very good bang for your buck purchase.  Get this now before it goes back up in price.

Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer  ($16.99 @ Newegg)

Case Fan: Cougar Vortex PWM 70.5 CFM 120mm  Fan  ($5.00)

Case Fan: Cougar Vortex PWM 70.5 CFM 120mm  Fan  ($5.00) <-- Amaing case fans.  Use this link.  You will not find better fans for $5.  I own 5 of these and they perform as well as top of the line fans for a fraction of the price.

Keyboard: Microsoft SIDEWINDER X4 Wired Gaming Keyboard  ($40.00) <-- This keyboard fits your black and red color scheme, I also own this keyboard, it is very solid and popular, often goes on sale for $40 on Newegg.com.

Total: $798.57

Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

 

If you want, you can skip the Keyboard, and use that $40 towards a Devil's Canyon i5-4690k + Z97 motherboard.  Keyboard and mouse can be purchased later at any time.  Don't spend $100 of your budget on peripherals when you have to buy core components.

 

If you need a copy of Windows 8.1, you can purchase one here for $35.  Just make sure you have a flash drive to store it on until you have the new PC up and running.

 

     This is an overclock ready build, the price difference between non-overclocking and overclocking is so small, you might as well give yourself the option to overclock if you want.  Overclocking will help extend the useful life of your system.  What I mean by this is, as games and programs become more demanding, you can overclock your CPU to higher speeds to help it stay relevant.  Right now, at stock speeds, the i5-4670k is powerful enough for any game out there, even with multiple GPUs.  In a few years, this will probably still be the case, but at least give yourself the option to overclock, the price is not an issue because it is a difference of $10 or less.

      Better to leave yourself open to overclocking now, than have to buy completely new components in the future, spending an extra $10 now, could save you $250+ if you ever decide to overclock.  Overclocking sounds dangerous and daunting at first, but it is actually very easy once you understand the concept and basics behind it.  There are many guides for overclocking available online, as well as this helpful community.  I learned how to overclock because of the help from online guides and this forum, you can too!  I would be happy to help you.

an i5 + 280 is better than an FX8 + 760, not to metnion, the RAM isn't included in that build which will put you over $800, and that motherboard wont be able to handle an overclock on the FX8, and you HAVE to overclock FX processors to get any kind of sensible performance out of them.  Not overclocking and FX just doesn't go together.  I do like that Bitfenix case though, not bad for $40.

 

What kind of games do you like to play?
