Its been decided, a new comp it is

[johnadams123412]

Essentially my old custom is done, dont feel like its worth fixing, so Ive decided to build a new one. The build is down below, however I have a few questions. 1st being, is there any better options for the price. I am on a limited budget so I need to know if thats okay and next question is there anyway I can lower price just a little with any other viable options. Thanks guys!

What HDD did you have in your old PC? I've also added the price of the new RX 480 which coming out on the 29th of this month. This is a far better system than the AMD.

Okay. Look at my previous post. I've added a system build.

 

*Changed the case* to black/blue. Same Case different colour

[duckwithanokhat]

Don't know the launch date for the RX 480, but didn't they say it will be $199.99? So if you can I would wait for that, but it seems like you need a computer asap since your current one is broken.

I think it is because there is an SSD (240 GB) and an intel CPU which may or may not be better than the AMD one, I don't know.

Well, the build that you chose had and AMD CPU. Which is an old CPU. Back from 2012. It's performs much slower than Intel CPUs. AMD have said that they'll be releasing a new CPU called "Zen" but will be coming next year.

The power supply is not great. Any G2/GS/P2 will be better from EVGA. I'd also replace the 380X for the RX 480 which coming out at the end of the month.

The Intel is MUCH better than the FX 8350.

Well the case that I've chose comes with 1 or 2 fans. You can buy 140mm or 120mm and put 2 in the from.

Yes! you certainly can.  You'll save more money add you could get a better SSD. (Solid state drive)

I mean, the ssd isnt completely necessary to be completely fair am I right? I have a perfectly fine hdd, im honestly trying to save little bits of money wherever. So I think ill reuse old ram and old hdd.

Well with the SSD you'll have much faster boot times, your programs will open quicker. Also SSD are getting cheaper. I'd recommend having the SSD as your windows with your applications and your secondary which can be used as storage.

Well we'll have to wait for the review of the RX 480. I'm sure it'll be for 1080p. Assuming you're going to playing on at 1080p?
