shipping fees / the shipping company itself fees / custom fees / and then when it comes to my home i will have to pay 7.5$ for each .5 kg .. so at the end it will equal to the prices here and maybe abit higher + time waiting.

well saving the hassle ans such

 

i will suggest invest more on Intel i3 CPU and a H97 board like @i_build_nanosuits suggested

 

if you want to save more

 

you can look for used GTX760 or GTX770 or R9 280/X GPUs

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

This paired with a core i3 would be better than the FX in some games (especialy in MMO's, RPG, RTS...indie games such as arma 3, dayZ...badly optimised games) but when it comes to battlefield, crysis, watchdogs...other multi-threaded games the FX-6300 and the core i3 will be about the same.

if you have ABSOLUTELY no intentions to go with GPU's any stronger than GTX 960 or R9 280/285 the FX-6300 should do fine in most modern games...but the thing is if you play a lot of mmo's such a planetside 2, guild wars 2 and stuff like that...those are highly cpu intensive single-threaded games and the FX will greatly limit your framerates (30FPS and lower is to be expected) so for such games you'd be a lot better with say a core i3-4130 and a cheap H series board for example.

dont you think core i5 4440 + h81 mobo + r9 280x will be better? also would the oc'ed fx 6300 bottleneck the r9 280x ?

i5 + 280X will be awesome combo

 

and yes the fx6300 will vaseneck the 280x

actually i wont upgrade this pc for like 2~3years .. so i see i3 so shit right now. ye maybe better than fx in most of mmo games, but im not only playing mmo games and who knows what will happen in these 2~3years. so simply no .. i refuse i3 .. just i5 or i will stay with fx and oc it.

yes this would be A LOT better across the board...major performance boost in single-threaded games, and a very good match for a 280X.

If you can afford this and sell your FX kit for a good price to someone or online then this is DEFENETLY what i would do.

The FX-6300 even overclocked will indeed limit the performance of a 280X in many games, especialy single-threaded MMO's and such.

yes that is perfectly fine, the boxed cooler is adequate on this and the cpu won,t draw much power at all so a cheap board is perfect to go with and you won't overclock this CPU anyways it's locked (no need to overclock this is a very fast quad core chip out of the box.)

ye but about the good price thing.. no .. i think i will lose anyway .. because anyone here just buying new stuff no used, and the only offer i got for mobo+fx combo is 750LE and i actually bought them for 1350LE ...

If your going to get an i5 get the 4690k so you can overclock. Does it cost more yes, but you should get more longevity. Also shoot for a bronze power supply of some kind I like EVGA PSUs but that is subjective there are a lot of good brands, just check to see if it is a good brand. The 970 is a great gpu for the price, again it does cost more, but it will get the graphics settings your most likely looking for. Please get 8 gbs or more. 

 

Save for a little longer and get the better components you'll be happier in the long run.

new GPU : R9 280x (320$)


new cpu : core i5 4440 (190$) (stock fan)


new mobo : 1150 support maybe h81 (60$)


PSU : SeaSonic ECO 600W (66$)


 


i will need more 29$ ...


 


gonna be a problem here.. 29$ more.. but i think cheaper psu will be fine in this combo? or i have to get these 30 bucks anyway and go safe?

i understand, it's no easy choices for you...it highly depends on what type of games you play the most in your situation...i assume you would be happy with the FX-6300 and GTX 960 or R9 280/285 unless you are hard core MMO player.

this machine could run safely on a 500W PSU if that could help you...just make sure it's a good unit. (check reviews before buying ANY PSU, some are good and some are trash)

actually im meticulous xD when it comes to bottlenecking and pc parts... and such things like that.

 

but actually i want to build pc stands for like 3years u know.. i can stay with the fx 6300 on stock with the current mobo, and test my r9 280x, if its bad.. and im not satisfy then i will sell the fx6+mobo and therefore i will buy i5 4440 + cheap mobo.

sounds like a plan...make sure you get a better PSU so you won't blow it up.

Also you will want more ram down the road that's a given...even the battlefields games love more than 4GB RAM.

the problem is most of the good psus are out of stock ..anyway what about this : http://www.egprices.com/en/product/zalman-zm500-gv-500w-80-plus-bronze-psu-ram-technology

the corsair VS550 is a good unit i could recommend, yes...not great but defenetly good enough.

This would be better though if you could afford it:

ye but this plan requires good psu as u said which costs more.. but i think this one is the best for my budget http://www.egprices.com/en/product/seasonic-eco-600w-psu-el-nekhely-technologyjust 3$ more.. what do you think?

quick review found for this unit:

This is a quality, very well performing mid-range power supply and I recommend it if the price is right. It is similar to the SeaSonic S12II 620W, just modified for the Asian market in a slightly cheaper package. Taiwanese capacitors and sleeve bearing fan mean an average lifespan of 3 to 5 years at least. Expect efficiency of 83% to 88% on standard Indian power grid.

This PSU earns the Phaedrus Mid-Range Seal of Approval

 

Looks good mate!
