[MCmcginness]

I am getting a starter computer and i was just wanted to know if you would recommend anything. I need a pc, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. Nothing to extreme just something to start with. I want to kept it under 1000 USD if possible

 

Thanks you guys

What is it going to be used for? Gaming? Rendering? Web browsing?

This is just over. You can cut costs down on things such as the case and power supply. Also, a smaller SSD. As far as it goes performance wise, it will handle all current games just fine. It will also be decent for film and video editing, however if you are going to edit I suggest swapping to a Nvidia card

His is great for the price/performance, I recommend it.

bs... this has same performance with less power consumption and heat http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1DtFT

 

i made research

Nice contribution, undoubtedly the FX-6300 does offer slighlty better price vs performance, especially when gaming only. However the 8320 is a better CPU overall. I picked the 8320 as I did not have a usage scenario and the 8320 starts to become a much more attractive option for any multi-threaded tasks such as rendering video or intensive multi-tasking for things such as game streaming as well as a variety of other situations.

 

Yes, that chip has less power consumption however the PSU I selected is more than enough to handle everything that my system can throw at it as well as a bit more such as a RAID card and more drives. Yes, that chip will output more heat, but that is a problem that will affect sock performance with a stock cooler. The 212 evo id designed to efficiently dissipate small to moderate amounts of heat at the same level of effectiveness. This means that the 5 degree average temperature difference between the two chips is irrelevant with the particular CPU cooler I chose .

 

Again, I thank you for your contribution, if the OP was solely gaming then your option might be a viable alternative. Your option is also $40 cheaper, but it is my strong belief that the CPU I selected is superior across a wider range of applications and the other components I selected counteract many benefits to having the 6300

I'd recommend not being so quick to offer the OP a build when we don't even know what he's using it for.

If you look at my previous post, I think this build will offer satisfactory performance across a variety of tasks. That being said, if the OP only needs an office computer then my build suggestion is ridiculous. Also, if the rig will be a dedicated editing rig then my suggestion may not be the best option either

I didn't miss that. Your reply is exactly why I wouldn't recommend jumping the gun.

wow you managed to cram in a 7950! Nice build

we have a new builds and planning section for this.

I'm curious as to why get him a Sabertooth board? It doesn't make sense for someone who's on a tightish budget. Sabertooth offers no real performance over other motherboards.

Cut costs on a case. Never a PSU. Never cheap out on a PSU. A bad cheap PSU can easily fry one to all your components.

It's actually easier with my build to cut down on the motherboard, I didn't go for a cheap motherboard. Also, when I said that I meant get a 500 watt PSU. It doesn't have to be less quality

Ah, I thought you were meaning get a lesser quality PSU instead of going for a lower wattage.
