Good? Bad?

 

I'm not into overclocking

I have OS.

I have display, and peripherials.

 

(Also, I have a SATA2 HDD from Samsung, so I could sacrifice it for an SSD if you think it's a fair trade.)

Look ok to me, definitely need an SSD though. Also if possible try to get a FX 8520 instead and 270 and 270x performance is almost the same but 270x is a bit more expensive so you can downgrade that to a 270

Bad. Go with Intel CPU.

If he's choosing those parts he probably are on budget, so going AMD is a better choice at a low budget build like this. If it's like 1000$ or more I'd definitely suggest an intel CPU though

[sammyboy14]

Yeah its a good build but up the cpu and go with a r9 270

[Alexkiss21]

I'm on a tight budget, I can't afford the better cpu AND the better GPU.

[Megazero]

I'm on a tight budget, I can't afford the better cpu AND the better GPU.

Like I said, the 270 perform just as well as the 270X while being CHEAPER, so you can get the 270 instead of the 270X you are choosing right now so you can cut some cost for the GPU to get a AMD FX 8320, only 30$ higher than the 6300 you are choosing right now

[Alexkiss21]

Not where I live. It's still a dozen more. But still, thank you!

[Alexkiss21]

Could you please assemle a pc around 500-550 USD with that processor? Closer to 500, beacuse our magnificent currency here in Hungary.

No, it's not. It's better to stick with i3. Which will perform better in games (& in general is better CPU), than that FX 6300.

[Alexkiss21]

Here it comes.

 

Go ahead, and create me a pc from 500-550 USD with an Intel processor. Please, I'd love to see it.

You know, the build you are having right now is already ~650 USD (Without discount)

(This is with a 270, 270X is about 30$ higher, and you got 60 USD discount since PCPartPicker count the mail in rebate and stuff.)

So like I said if it's in US you can easily swap the 270X to a 270 and CPU to a FX 8320, which will not make the price change, but I'm not sure about your country though

[nokturrduk84]

No, not really

No. You better check this: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i3-4340-4330-4130_5.html#sect0

[Alexkiss21]

I said 500, or 550 USA dollars beacuse of the exchanging here. For example if something is 50 USD it's going to be 50Euros here.

[Megazero]

No. You better check this: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i3-4340-4330-4130_5.html#sect0

You are suggesting the i3 4150 isnt it? Cause the CPU that's on that list is about the same price as a FX 8350. Also those are locked CPU, the FX 6300 is unlocked so you can OC if you want.

SATA 2 HDD... you mean a 7200rpm HDD from Samsung right? this is quite a common misconception but games, especially multiplayer game like DotA 2, LOL etc will not benefit from running on SSD compare to running from a 7200 rpm HDD. You better stick with HDD in this case. First of all there isnt all that much to load for DotA2, and then even if you load faster than other ppl you will have to wait for them anyway. If you experience lag in your game it's probably your internet, not the HDD.

As for the GPU... well if you are just playing DotA2 I guess a 260 is fine too... but I wouldnt make that trade if you are playing other games like Battlefield 4 etc as well. I'd rather stick with a FX 6300 and the R9 270 if you really cant get an FX 8320 in that budget.

[Alexkiss21]

The setup I posted the last time with the 8320 fits in my budget. 

 

I won't be playing Dota2 ONLY. I will try BF4 if I have the new pc, but with this one even BF3 is a dream.

Yes, it's 116$ on Amazon & by the way, did you see yourself that video? i3 had better results in games: Crysis 3, Far Cry 3, only in BF4 FX was better. Plus i3 has better power consumption thx to new technology. Again there's no reason to buy FX, all in all, take the benchmarks I listed above where i3 has also big advantage in those games: Batman Arkham origin, Civilization 5, F 2013, Sleeping Dogs...

[Alexkiss21]

 Again there's no reason to buy FX

 

Money?

[nokturrduk84]

Money?

It costs same as that 6300, only 11$ expansive that is nothing.
