'scrapyad' build.

[CookiezFort]

I want a cheap gaming pc, that will be decent for now, and i can later upgrade (cpu, and mobo mainly). I already have a hard drive and peripherals so they are not needed.

 

I used ebay, and I will buy some new parts aswell.

 

The used parts are:

 

MOBO

CPU

GPU

 

Brand new parts:

 

A decent brand 450+ watt psu

A decent case

RAM

A 212 evo or better cooler so i can OC that cpu

 

EDIT: Gotta love mistakes in the tittle

[KamiKatze]

Really nice prices for all the parts. Were there any extreme edition CPUs around a similar price? The Q6600 seems a bit underwhelming for the motherboard. And it's performance is also rather meh.

The ram wont work. You need DDR2, not DDR3.

Get the second one. It's a QX6800 and the first is a QX6850 (just an OC'd version)

Ok thank you.

 

Last question, does anybody know if I will get decent frames on Planetside 2 with that cpu?

 

Also a decent watt PSU, i saw that the CPU takes a load of power.

Thank you.

 

It should be good enough to overclock the gpu and cpu right?

Indeed. I was able to run an OC'd 4790K and a GTX 760 with an EVGA 430W PSU.
