Go to solution Solved by Imakuni,

Ok lets change the set up since my dad willed to give me money.

I want a PC for gaming which should be able to run "new" titles (if possible probably like witcher 3?) on 1080p. My Budget would be around 700€ and I would like to avoid shipping my compenents from ohter countries to germany. 

It should also have a realtivly "easy" case to install in the compontents and give place for upgrades.

 

So what would you recommend?  ^_^

Cuz all from German?

Peace guys,

I have a short question. This is my first build for a gaming PC which should handle stuff like LoL Dota2 and f2p online games and also maybe for streaming and video rendering. So is there any problem and the most imporatant question: is my PSU enough to handle this build?

 

AMD FX-6300

MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970 ATX Motherboard

8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600 DIMM CL9 Dual Kit

3072MB Gigabyte Radeon R9 260x Windforce 3x OC Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16 (Retail)

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Kühler

430w bronze+ bequiet

BitFenix Comrade - Midi Tower - ATX

 

 

Thanks for your advices!

Don't think the r9 260x is a good card. Invest more into a r9 280x or something tbh

CPU: Xeon 1230v3 - GPU: GTX 770  - SSD: 120GB 840 Evo - HDD: WD Blue 1TB - RAM: Ballistix 8GB - Case: CM N400 - PSU: CX 600M - Cooling: Cooler Master 212 Evo

If this is a completely new build, give me a location and a budget, and I can easily best that out.

LoL and dota arent very demanding tho.

I know it was just a tip because I know many people that regret buying a low end GPU

Why would u recommend the XFX Version over e.g. the MSI version or other versions of the r9 290?  :huh:

Mainly because of price. To my knowledge, XFX makes good GPUs; it was one of the cheapest, so I could avoid hitting the ceiling of the budget.

Ok. Does this build not need a cooler? Im a bit confused  :blink:

Locked CPUs don't need a cooler. You can add one, but the stock will do just about fine.
