Budget gaming PC

[Morzanhu]

Hey everyone!

So I'm new here, but I came here to get help from you guys!

So I've been looking for good price to performance parts for my new PC (for which I'm gonna work in the summer).

Here's my parts list:

CPU: AMD Athlon II x4 860k @3.8 GHz, quad-core, FM2+ socket

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti

MOBO: haven't decided yet, but I want expendability for sure

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB stick

PSU: haven't decided yet, but probably a 500w PSU from EVGA

Storage: WD Blue 1 TB

Case: haven't decided yet, but I don't need a flashy case

What do you think about the parts? (I know a couple of them is missing, but that's why I'm here )

I don't really want to spend too much more than 500$.

If I made a mistake please tell me, because this is going to be my first build from scratch.

Thanks for reading and for your help!

Which Country?

[Morzanhu]

Which Country?

Hungary

[beach_boy98]

Hungary

Cool which amazon you want me to use?

[ChrisCross]

I would go for a 270x instead of the 750ti. but I don't know the pricing in Hungary

[Ketcchup]

Cheapest OK mobo is Asus A88XM-Plus; 4+2 VRM with Heatsink enough to OC your CPU 1.45v+ without frying them.

 

I would go for nVidia as its drivers use lesser CPU (im not lying, find some info in youtube) which is nice because this CPU is really limited compared to i5/i7

 

Also, 2400MHz make a 5% difference in this CPU, you should try them if price difference is no more than 5$/€

Which stores?

[Morzanhu]

Cool which amazon you want me to use?

I guess UK, but I have never ever ordered anything online

[Morzanhu]

I would go for a 270x instead of the 750ti. but I don't know the pricing in Hungary

The 270x costs almost as much as a EVGA GTX 750 Ti FTW edition

[beach_boy98]

I guess UK, but I have never ever ordered anything online

So 500 Hungarian dollars or American.

[Morzanhu]

So 500 Hungarian dollars

Well we don't have dollars, we have HUF (Hungarian forint) and ~300 HUF = 1$, so around 500$ or 150000 HUF

[Morzanhu]

Which stores?

Well, any store that can ship world wide, because my country is a small one.

2400 MHz cpu? Or what? I don't get it.

Nice, I like it, but the GPU might be a little bit too expensive, but I can save some money using a random hard drive I find at home.

Ah... RAM I mean

I personally noticed it in GTAV in populated areas, the difference is small but it helps.

[Morzanhu]

Just a quick not to everyone: I don't want to play in 1080p so 720p is probably would be enough for me, but for a while I would be playing on a CRT monitor for sure.

I guess a Gigabyte R9 270x would be cheaper for me, but I don't know if there's performance difference between the two.

[BlazingGunnerFTW]

Yeah its a fast card though.

[Morzanhu]

Yeah its a fast card though.

But the GTX 750 Ti would be fine for me I guess, because I would use an old CRT monitor until I get enough money to buy a new one.

[BlazingGunnerFTW]

I guess a Gigabyte R9 270x would be cheaper for me, but I don't know if there's performance difference between the two.

Its a 1.4 TFLOP difference, and its a quite a bit faster noticeablely in lots of games, so its up to your preference.

If you get an R7 260x or 265, it preforms basicially the ,ame and even better then the GTX 750ti, but cheaper so u can buy a new monitor with ur purchase.

The two AMD options are cheaper than the 750 Ti, but really? Now I'm gonna look it up, but thanks for pointing that out!

Heres a monitor:Acer G227HQLbi 60Hz 21.5" Monitor. Its IPS and is cheap!! Here it is:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zRfGYJ(with the monitor) . Only 12 bucks over 500.
