New cheap build

[jackon21]

I was wondering what people thought of this low budget build. I will add a HDD later. I also have a radeon 6870 to use at the moment and will probably upgrade that and the CPU to an i5 later. I would like to keep the price as low as possible, and I don't plan to OC. Any suggestions? (sorry I was lazy with the image upload)

Dear god...please

 

You can look into some cheaper RAM, since you're looking for as cheap as possible. Unless you want some style points. ;D

If you plan on gaming, but not adding a GPU any time soon, go with a A10 7850k and a A78M-E35.

Don't get the i3 now if you are planning on upgrading, save up and get it now so that you wont have a i3 laying around.

Thanks for the replies. I'll have a 6870 for a bit which is enough for most games I play/plan to play. Metro Last Light and Devinity: Original Sin are probably the most demanding games I will play.

Sorry for the shitty image upload. Do you mean less RAM or a cheaper 8gb kit? I have never had problems with RAM without heat spreaders. Are they necessary?

 

Aside from that, any thoughts on the i3-4160 (or any haswell i3)? The build would be mostly for gaming.

They aren't really necessary. Unless your computer is near a fire or something. And I was talking about a cheaper 8gb kit.

Does DDR3 1333 and 1600 make much of a difference? In this price bracket it seems that's all there is. Thanks for all the help.

 

 

Wow I am sorry for the following duplicate posts. I didn't think it loaded.

 

 

I mostly just game, watch videos and browse on my pc. My budget is around $500 atm usd, video card not included. I don't play very intense games, but would like to play games like metro last light, divinity original sin and MMOs.

USA

Budget is around $500 without GPU

Primarily for gaming -- such as metro last light, divinity original sin and MMOs

My current 6870 should do the job for now

 

Sorry this is only my second post
