[Guest GRRigger]

you dont need 500 watt psu

gt 640 any reason for it? 

this build could be much better, what is your budget? 430$ ?

[RedRender]

Yeah

[iAsuno]

this one would play at high/ultra settings on 35

and its only 20$ more. if you dont think its worth it... then you must be from mars my friend. 

and it will play any other modern game also... on mid settings at 30+ fps easily

yes this will also destroy skyrim +  2 times bigger storage

It's funny how everyone created pretty much the same build on pcpartpicker. All with the same CPU, Mobo, GPU by XFX. lol

Get a 500W PSU though, you can reuse it for future builds, the CX430 though might not power a powerful build in the future.

How about this one? Cheaper and better performance:

[Guest GRRigger]

OP i am waiting on feedback. I can cut off 10 bucks less for MSI board if you are on extremelly tight budget.

This build destroy the original you posted. If you want furthermore cheaper build then 7770 is the way to go.

cmon man ,where is the OS ? if i remove it i can do a better build too. and the cx 430 can hold a gpu like 7870 so no problems there.

It's a bit over budget but with a quad core cpu

all recommended cpus are quads. that is a bad build. apu with dedicated gpu ? no sir

Damn, people usually don't ask for OSs so i didn't include it. By the time i configured the build i already forgot that he wanted one.

 

A really good upgrade from this build would be a 4670K or FX 8320 plus a HD 7950 or R9 280 and i doubt that a cx 430 could handle it.

[s3ns3]

he is just getting the build. by the time he will upgrade the cx430 can hold a future mid end gpu like the 7870 today. and the psu can handle a 7950 just fine,it uses 144W at peak in games

Did you see Tek synicates videos of a apu with a 780 only when you go above 1080 do you start to bottle neck the performance 

or on very cpu intensive games.

that apu you choosed,is on FM1 ! the cpus that we recommend are the same cpus found in apus today,5800K,6800K BUT without the integrated GPU . because there is no need,not even one to get an apu if he will buy a dedicated GPU . do you understand ?

[BustinJustin]

Are you actually going to get the parts and build the computer. Even if you are, this belongs in the planning forum.

[ALXAndy]

If you pick the right GPU you can Crossfire it with the APU. Which would tear Skyrim apart.

[ForsakenLive]

If you are going to pick an Athlon, get the new ones (Richland, FM2 socket). And if you want to be possible to upgrade in the future, get an FM2+ mobo, they have started to sell them already, meaning you can upgrade to Kaveri / Carrizo when they launch.

Great list, exactly what I would have chosen.

 

Go for this.

[flibberdipper]

I built my friend one, went with a Sempron 145, ASRock N68C-GS FX (I think), and a Radeon HD 6970 (his idea, not mine), and it does well with it. Mine is almost the same EXACT setup, but with a HIS IceQ Radeon HD 6570 instead of the reference 6970, and it does well.

 

EDIT: I know right now my sig goes against my rig, but I just built this last weekend

[ALXAndy]

Did you unlock the Sempron?
