New Build

[pyropanda1]

So I planned a $1600 AUD build that I was going to build but up until recently when I realised that due to budget I couldn't buy all the parts. So here is my new cheaper build. New budget is $1250.

 

Here are the changes between them:

1) Switched to AMD CPU

2) Switched to Radeon GPU

3) Changed MOBO (needed different socket)

 

This is for gaming and I live in Australia so prices in AUD.

 

Build 1:

Build 2:

So my question is do you think it is good enough to run games like Far Cry 4, Titanfall etc at around 60 FPS and what what you change within the budget.

Also I am planning on overclocking the GPU and CPU

The AMD build is the worst. A10-6800 is shite for an R9 290. Go hands down with the first build (Intel/Nvidia)

I know its not ideal but I can't afford the other build what cheaper build would you recommend?

first one.

you just don't build a 1200$ system based on an APU and a R9 290 GPU...the intel build is vaslty superior and the GPU will not be limited by the CPU.
