Does the SSHD mean the Hybrid drive? the like SSD and HDD in one? First time I've ever seen someone use SSHD

What's your budget for this pc and is it just for gaming?

[brandishwar]

Only thing I'd change is to spring for a 290X instead of a 290. Some are priced in the low 300s right now, not much higher than the 290s right now.

Honestly this build is a thousand times better than the 6300/ 290 combo. You could upgrade the 960 to something a little better but do not go with the 6300.

if you're gonna gaming for a long time i'm sorry but AMD cpu just doesn't quite cut it cause AMD hasn't update anything on the cpu department for the last couple of years

a 6300 paired with 290? that's a huge bottleneck my friend

 

get a better cpu or cheaper gpu. or try to find the middle ground.

 

oh and welcome to the forums

[hood.007]

My budget is around 913.71 USD, so you mostly suggested going with the intel cpu because of the bottleneck associated with the gpu? And is a gpu with a 2 gb ddr5 enough or should i go with 4gb ddr5?  If I misspelled something please forgive me because i m form europe. Thank you for the welcome

Yes it means hybrid i just got it like that from the website. I didnt change anything

Wait... that random budget...

 

Are you from the US? If not, tell use where you are from.

Im a little bit woried about this gpu (EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB Video Card). Because i dont know if is there enough ram, it has only 2 gb od ddr5. Is it still better than 290?

Im from Croatia and its a diffrent curency so i calculated it from my budget. Components here are a little bit more expensive than in the US. Like 10 %, and i cant order it because i would have to pay import tax and it would be more expensive than to buy them here. But i can order anywhere from the Eu without the tax, just shipping.

Link to a trusted store plz. AS well as budget within your currency.

Anything above a 270X will bottleneck with that FX6300.

I meant to type 970 I think but waiting until the r9 3xx series couldn't hurt.

This is a really good shop with the best prices and a lot of components. My budget is around 6500 kn. You can go below or above to max 7000 kn.

 

http://www.futura-it.hr/naslovna/

 

and this one offers a list of shops and the difrent prices for each component, so sometimes it is a very big diffrence from shop to shop. But the page above offers the lowest prices in a lot of cases. I checked already .

oh and welcome to the forums

Thank you what about Intel Core i5-4570 instead of 6300?

[hood.007]

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 is 410 USD in my country. It pisses me off that is more expensive than in the US. Dont know why is that. Maybe because its shiped from China to Us and then to Europe?

There. My calcs made it up to 6306 kn, so you still have some space for a nice, beautiful case. Pick one that you like.

Can you recomend a little better motherboard? I would like to have the usb 3.0. And if i buy a better motherboard will it improve the performance of the system at gaming and multitasking? And can i chose any case without problems? Can you recomend some for this build? And the last question Is 450 w power supply enough for this build?  Thank you for your help. i like your recomendations

For USB 3.0, I suppose you could get this mobo: http://www.kitguru.net/components/cooling/henry-butt/raijintek-triton-aio-liquid-cpu-cooler-review/6/

 

And no, changing mobo won't affect your performance in ANY way. The reasons why you pick one mobo over another are:

1. Looks. Sometimes you want a red mobo, sometimes black. Maybe you even want blue or white!
2. SLI / XF support, if applicable.
3. USB 3.0, if wanted.
4. The form factor. You may want a Mini-itx for small builds, or a full sized ATX if you have a big case (so that it doesn't look empty).
5. The number of SATA ports. If you plan on using a lot of them (SSD + 2 or 3 HDs + a DVD Writter), you'll need support for that.
6. The number PCI slots. In folding / BOINC rigs, you want to have as many GPUs as you possibly can, with the use of PCIe Risers. Gotta have support for that!
7. The layout. You know... I made a Xbox 360 case build, and I had to worry about the layout of things, or else it wasn't gonna fit.

And the last question, yes, 450w is enough for a Gtx 9xx.

That sucks but I highly recommend waiting until the r9 3xx series comes out.
