So I'm plotting my first full-fledged build, the Argchlein One.


This is the plan:


 


budget: $450


 

mobo: GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 $69.99


 

gpu: EVGA GTX 750 Ti $179.99


 

cpu: X6 FX-6300 $139.99


 

Totalling $389.99

 

I have everything else I need (case, psu, hdd) but if my part-time summer job yields more than I think it will (i'm underestimating it a lot to avoid getting my hopes too high) then I might throw in an SSD and a shiny new case.

 

Would this build work for modern-day gaming? I followed the GTA V guide on the LTT Youtube page to pick the GPU.

I'm upgrading because my current system absolutely sucks (an athlon 64 x2 for cryin' out loud) and I'm lucky to get something out of Crysis 2 at 720p. I fear that GTA V may not even be feasible.

It's like that one kid in comp sci? You just want to punch him, but you can't because he's "special" and starts fires or something.

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/363330-argchlein-one/ - I know you acknowledged the fact, but instead of creating a new thread, ask a mod or admin to move it. Also, welcome to the forums :D Please do read the CoC..

 

 

As far as my input though, as @Tedster says, please use PCPartpicker, as also, go with an Intel build. AMD isn't a very good option at the moment, but hopefully Zen will be change that. Will be back with a build. How large is that PSU of yours, and what brand (model number if you could, please)?

 

EDIT1: Also noticed that you forgot to include RAM.. you're going to have a bad day without RAM.

noted, thanks for the move hehe ^.^' haven't been on a forum in ages so i forgot that's a thing that can happen

I have several different types of RAM here but I'll add that to the shopping list if necessary.

I can't tell, it's stock.

 

that motherboard with fx6300 is not recommended.

didn't think so. seemed to be pre cheap

 

Please use PCPartPicker.

 

Also, please go with an Intel build instead of AMD.

PC Part Picker was being weird. it's working now though so i'll definitely plug my revised plan in.

 

So, go for Intel instead of AMD, add RAM, get a better motherboard. Got it. Thanks guys.
