Low End PC Build

[javaja]

I want to build a low end machine. I want to a low end PC I will duel boot (linux) and run virtual machines at times software development but not going to the VMs though any really heavy load.

 

For gaming I will be mainly MMOs and FIFA. What could I expect to get with this build? I do not expect much but just want to be able to play without flicker.

Wrong link. You want the permalink at the top of the page.

you should be able to get a 760k or 860k and a r7 260 for that price and its better than the a10.

but then youd have to get cheaper RAM. and if you do go with the a10 APU get 2 4gb sticks of ram because a APU will run better if you get dual channel ram. and RAM that is a higer speed

and do you you need a moniter and keyboard and mouse?  and windows?

I can get windows for free (well as part of tuition) from School and have a mouse and was just going to go for a cheap 10-15 dollar keyboard to start off with.  and I have an old Moniter.

 

Also according to this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fWVVrH 860k and a r7 260 with cheaper RAM (dont need the high speed RAM with a discrete GPU) is about $100 more expensive so I am not really surprised that It would be better.

 

What type of performance difference is there between the a10 vs (860k + r7 260)? How much better is it?

$30 more but the 750ti is much better than the a10 apu, imo

Ok thanks. Is there anything you would change?
