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.

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

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?

 

can you afford the i3?

Unfortunately no :( But if i do with the G3258 i will have a 4790K within a year

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.
