I am building a new gaming pc around the budget of $600 and i am confused to choose between athlon x4 860k and pentium g3258. Which one i should go for?

 

Here is my build from pc part picker

no

its not

an r9 390 on this budget is simply not achievable

bottlenecks will be everywhere

look for something like a 960 and an i3 6100

welcome to the forums :P

remember to quote or mention someone when you reply them so they get a notification

 

your cpu and gpu is pretty imbalanced, try reducing your gpu to an r9 380 and up the cpu to something better

and maybe a better psu? `-`

 

maybe an i3 6100 + R9 380

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

You're REALLY under-spending on your CPU if you are building a Gaming PC with a Radeon R9 390. The CPU will severely constrain the performance of the GPU. On that note, both CPUs you mentioned will hog the GPU down.

What's your budget? Around 600 USD?

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

Is this build balanced

Swap out the GTX 960 to a R9 380 and grab a PSU separate from a case. Any SeaSonic or XFX one would do.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.
