Hey guys!

So im doing a new build soon and its going to be super budget orientated (Around £250-£300 Including everything needed for just the tower, No OS or Monitor or KB+M) and i need help picking between a few parts. Most importantly:

  • What CPU shall i get: The Pentium G3258 (It will be OC'd) or the A8-6600K (I would be using the graphics from the CPU instead of a GPU if i get this one)
  • What GPU: a R7 260 or the Integrated graphics on the A8-6600K

 

Also this isnt going to be a permanent build, I do plan on getting a GTX 980 and either a FX-8350 or a 4790K (depending on the system) Within 6 months as i have to save that money up. Thanks for the help! :D

3258 and a 750/740 in my opinion.

GT740/GTX750?

Yeppers. The GT 740 is decent but the GTX 750 is much better, if it'll fit in the budget. Both are better options than the A8-6600.

Would the 740/750 be better than the R7 260?

The GTX 750 is better than the R7 260, but I'm not sure about the GT 740. Probs a bit less than the 260.
