Need Help With my Pc Build

Hi guys,

I'd like to start off by saying that I am a complete noob when it comes to PC building so please excuse me for anything I say that may be wrong.

Anyways, this is my first pc build and I'm doing it on a budget of Rs.20000( I live In India btw) which translates to around roughly

320 USD. I'll be looking to run recent games at a decent playable frame rate on Medium 720p settings.

I've decided on everything except the graphics card for which I have a budget of Rs. 4500 /~80$ ( I wasn't sure if I should get a Sapphire AMD R5 230 2GB DDR3 or and AMD R7 240 1 GB DDR5 and I wasn't sure what I should be looking for when buying a graphics card )

It would be great if you guys could tell me if this is a good graphics card for my need or if there is anything better for this price.

My pc config -

Cpu: AMD FX 4300 Black Edition

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA78LMT USB3.0

Graphics Card: Sapphire AMD R5 or anything better you guys can suggest

Ram: 4GB Corsair Vengeance

Also if there is anything that you think can be done better with my config please do tell me.

You can refer to this site www.flipkart.com for prices in India.

Thanks in advance!

Am I wrong in thinking that a dedicated GPU along with a CPU will perform better than an APU?? Or is that not how it works

O.o

Kinda...however for your budget getting a low end GPU and a somewhat of a good CPU will make your games feel generally laggy, it would be better to just get a APU with two sticks of very fast ram

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER STOP LEARNING. DONT LET THE PAST HURT YOU. YOU CAN DOOOOO IT

I suggest you the AMD A10-7850k. It's the best APU you can get for your budget 140$ USD.

 

CPU Specs:

 

@3.7Ghz

Quad-Core

Integrated Graphics: Radeon R7

Can run 1080p games at medium/high settings

Okay guys thanks for that!

Will downgrading to 4gb of ram make a huge difference as my RS 20000 budget was inclusive of a HDD and an optical drive as well so I might choose to get another 4gb ram stick later on down the line.

remember that it is recommended to always buy a kit of x2 and not a single module for compatibility performance they are test to match as close as possible and in single module u can by mistake buy a wrong firmware or they will not have they same numbers, I believe. check it out !

you will have to first check the motherboard QVL of memory to see what can be placed in the slots and as far as I know yes

Still kinda expensive :/ and what additional functionality will I be getting from this?

well as I see the most good thing about the h/z 97 is that they will support the new i7 and i5 K intel cpu coming q2 2015 but they have more then that
