It is a pretty good gaming PC for its price.

The 4300, 6300 and 8320 is all pretty much the same exept the amount of cores And the 4300 has 4 cores and many games still only make use of four cores.

The GTX 660 is still a pretty solid GPU for its pricepoint, 10% more powerful than the 750ti and 10% less powerful than a 760.

1866Mhz RAM is not needed, 1600Mhz is enough for pretty much everything But if you can get 1866Mhz RAM for about the same price it wont be a bad thing to have.

The subforum is not right though, It should be in

Workbench - New builds and Planning

if you can overclock the cpu that much by all means go for it but if you can just get the 6300 because the 4300 might bottleneck if you cant overclock it past at least 3.9GHz

Im on a a6 6400k And it is about half as powerful as the 4300,

Bottlenecks are relative, Simply pulling shadows down and resolution, AA and textures up balances the load.

Unbalanced load=bottleneck, Balanced Load=No bottleneck.

Ah, It should be in  Workbench - Build logs. Not Troubleshooting since troubleshooting is when there is something wrong that needs a fix, Like if you screen is flickering Or you are having games that crash.

Hah i can just dream about that!

A FX 9590 goes for about $250 and a gtx 980 goes for about $600, You said the budget was about 1000 bucks.

But that is in the US, I dont know how much it costs in norway, The prices is probably as bad as here in sweden, So a FX 8350 and a gtx 770 Should not be too high in price.

A 8320 and a r9 280x Or gtx 770ti should be in range.

jag handlar okså på komplett jag likar at det er så bra kundaservice

 

im trying to write in swedish but its fucking imposible

 

hah jeg vil heller skrive på norsk! Hah

Nära nog, På sommaren så kommer de ca 1000 norskar hit till samhället där jag bor så jag kan förstå norska ganska flytande.. Men att prata de ä en helt annan historia.

Jag både pratar och skriver hellre på svenska än att försöka mig på norska.

Men engelska eller svenska spelar ingen roll, Jag både pratar och skriver engelska så nära på flytande så de enda sättet för mig att prata mer flytande är att bo där.

Close enough, In the summers about 1000 norwegians come here to the city/village i live in so i can understand norwegian pretty good.. But speaking or writng it is a Whole different story.

I both speak and write Much rather in swedish than even trying with norwegian.

But between swedish and english it doesnt really matter since i can both speak and write english as close to fluent as possible without living there.

Why? It is the most powerful AMD cpu and the most powerful single chip GPU.

Thats not entirely true, But you are not wrong.

The point is that if he buy a Intel CPU he also have to buy a motherboard for it,.

The price/performance becomes about the same in the end.
