I want to be able to play GTA v, space engineers, gmod, modded minecraft. My price range is around $1000 AUD(Australian)

i can tell you from PLENTY of testing modded minecraft and AMD dont go together very well.

 

its not uncommon to see almost double the fps on the inside, than on the amd side.

 

a friend of mine has roughly the same system you have, and he's struggling to get any modpack above 60fps (he's an idiot tho, so chances are he did something wrong)

Thanks is it better if I go for Intel?

well, i cant quote on gta or space engineers, but based on gmod and minecraft - defenately.

[eSmooves]

For the CPU, if you still want to go with AMD, instead of the FX-6200, grab the FX 6300. Saves you 30 dollars (when i looked it up for AU part picker) and is better imo.

What about this?

might as well pay a bit extra now and go DDR4

you'd be throwing the DDR3 sticks away your next upgrade either way. (futureproofing: buying parts now you'll be able to re-use next time)

 

i should also add that you could look into getting an ethernet cable towards your desktop. it'll be a much nicer experience that way.

DDR4 is not comparable with the motherboard.

Ethernet cable I would need like 10+ meters...

i swapped it out for the DDR4 version. (DDR3 has "DDR3" at the end of the model number)

i'm behind a good 20 meters of ethernet cable. if you can borrow a roll off of someone and pay for the used length its surprisingly cheap.
