[First build] - THE BASIC

[mikestechs]

Hello Guys,

 

It is day after christmas and i got new pc. My first PC, i was dream about it long time ago.

 

And here we go:

 

• PROCESOR: AMD Athlon X4 860K Black Edition Kaveri
• GRAPHIC CARD: SAPPHIRE R7 250X VAPOR-X OC
• MOTHERBOARD: MSI A78M-E45 V2
• RAM: Kingston 8GB KIT DDR3 1600MHz CL10 HyperX Fury Blue Series
• CPU COOLER: SilentiumPC Fera 2 HE1224
• MEMORIES. Intel 535 120GB SSD bulk + WD Blue 1000GB 64MB cache
• NOCTUA NF-S12A PWM + NOCTUA NF-S12A FLX
• KEYBOARD: C-TECH SCORPIA
• CASE: C-TECH LADON

The build is around 630$.

 

Out of this budget is: 

• MONITOR: Samsung syncmaster p2470hd
• MOUSE: Yenkee YMS 2015BK

All of those components were bought about a month ago.

The thing is, that i also get another 200$ and i don't know how to spend it.

I am thinking about those things:

 

• SPEAKERS: Logitech Z150 black - just becouse my monitor has the worst sound ever [24$]
• HEADPHONES: A4tech Bloody G500 [28$]
• WEBCAMERA: A4tech PK-900H Full HD - becouse of streaming [24$]
• RAM: Another pair of my Kingston 8GB KIT - to have 16GB of RAM for future upgrading [49$]
• GAMEPAD: Logitech Wireless F710 -  for games [48$]
• MOUSE: A4tech Blody RT7 terminator core 2 - programmable, nice looking ,wirelles mouse [40$]
• MONITOR: LED 24" SAMSUNG S24D300H - get better monitor is one of the prefer options to spend my budget but not full of it [141$]
• FANS: Noctua NF-S12A - another pair of those amazing fans to have my case more quiet so i will change stock CPU cooler fan for two Noctua fans [40$]

 

But i also thinking about new graphic card. Like i said i have got Sapphire R7 250X 1GB, it's quite nice and cheap card. I have tried games like Battlefield 4, GTA V and it seems just like 1GB isn't enough so what about those: 

 

• MSI R9 380 2GB5T OC [221$ - just a little bit more than 200$]

or

• MSI R7 370 GAMING G2 [182$]

 

I just need help.

What should i buy? 

or

Should i buy something else?

380 if you can save up for it.

Get an R9 380 4GB and you'll have a proper rig.

 

Keep the 250X as a backup GPU.

[pagani123]

yep get a 380 if you can afford it. you can always sell the other card once you get the 380 to help pay for it 

[kameshss]

A 380 will be a good match.

 

But make sure to get the 4GB version.

So i should buy new graphic card (380) over the PC budgets like headphones, etc. ?

yes, get a 380 4gb (the powercolor is on the cheap most of the times, and it is an ok card)

[mikestechs]

Do you guys think, there is any chance i can sell my Sapphire R7 250X 1GB ?

If you plan on use this computer for gaming, then you should have spent the extra $100 for a R9 380 or R9 280. Spending that extra $100 can get over 100% performance boost because of how the price to performance scales with GPUs. About $200 is the sweet spot for GPUs.
