Posted June 23, 2015 Hi all, I am looking to build my first PC on my own and have come up with what I think is a pretty good build, I want to use this PC for games such as GTA V, so I am hoping this build will run it just fine. Here is the link: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/7RBn4D Are there any better things, i.e motherboard, psu I can get for similar or cheaper price? Thank you in advance for reading and replies!

Posted June 23, 2015 Author Why will the motherboard catch fire after a hours gaming? Can I use a H97 motherboard with that AMD cpu? And also what do you think to the GPU on my list?

Posted June 23, 2015 Why will the motherboard catch fire after a hours gaming? Can I use a H97 motherboard with that AMD cpu? And also what do you think to the GPU on my list? I think he means that AMD CPUs get very hot, catching fire is an exaggeration. If for gaming, you are better off with an i5 from Intel like the i5-4590 if you don't want to overclock. Pair that with a B85 motherboard. How much is your budget? So that I can build you a system.

I would change it back to 270x or 280 in coming week because when fury releases the price may drop on 200 series AMD card. Personally experienced750ti is not good experience with GTA 5 with all setting turn to lowest, you still wont able get smooth FPS. I would go LGA chipset because you can further upgrade to i7 down the track. I5 or i3 Performed better than FX8350 in GTA 5 Benchmark. Magical Pineapples
