Need help on planning

Hi all, this is my first post in this forum, and i would like to ask for help on my planning.

 

I currently game on console, but found 2 old PCs (1 with celeron and another with a Pentium4 at 3.4)

 

Long story short I took apart both PCs and mixed the best components for both, so I ended with the Pentium4 at 3.2ghz, 2 gb of DDR2 RAM, a 250W PSU, and a GeForce 610 GPU.

 

This PC runs good, having the dated components, I can even run MW2 and Halo2 with decent settings. 

 

Now, the real question is...  (Im in mexico, so ill put prices in MXN   1 USD = 19MXN approx)

 

 

Im planning to build a new PC for gaming and ocassional work as programmer, with a tight budget  (10,000MXN aprox), so i was planning on getting:

 

 

 

G1.sniper.a88x motherboard for 1926.00 MXN

 

SAPPHIRE Radeon NITRO R7 370 4GB GDDR5  for 3272.00 MXN 

 

AMD A10-7890K 4.1 GHz with wraith coller included for 2956.00 MXN

 

Decent EAGLE WARRIOR Robot X case  for 900 MXN

 

8GB of Kingston HyperX Fury 1866Mhz for 715 MXN

 

EVGA 600W 80 plus silver for 1172.00 MXN

 

SSD ADATA Premier SP550 240GB Sata3  for 1242MXN

 

HDD i will use the WD 500GB that i have running in the Pentium 4 machine and expand later on.

 

 

Now all this adds up to 11283MXN, a little off budget due to the R7 370, but what I really wnat to ask is , shall I go for this build, which i will be completing in the next 2 or 3 months, or, buy just the r7 370, use it in my old PC build (I know it will get bottlenecked) and wait for ZEN to be released???

 

 

I really love this forum, digging around the experiences with non techies when bored at work LOL!

 

I appreciate you guys taking a look in advance!  (Remember I´m mexican and English is my second language, so be patient)

How much is a GTX 950 instead?

 

You're paying too much for the A10-7890K (I would know, I live in mexico). Instead try to put together a build with i3-6100, B150 motherboard, DDR4. it will be better

 

I would not buy anything from Eagle Warrior because they make literal hazards for PSUs (they're a brand of Pixxo last I checked)

 

Here's a list all from amazon.com.mx

Corsair CXM PSU (pretty great) 928MXN

XFX RX 460 3027MXN

 

Adds up to 9873MXN and is much better in every way :)

 

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

I would not get an APU if you are planning on gaming, and buying a graphics card.  Buy either FX 6 core, or i3-i5 Intel, or try and wait for ZEN to come out, so it tanks the market on older AMD tech.  

 

Comp:  i5-6500, Hyper d92,  Z170 Asrock Pro4s, Crucial Ballistix 16gb DDR4 2400, CS1311 SSD, EVGA 600b, GTX 1060 MSI Gaming 6gb, Lancool K62 case

Didnt think about buying at amazon, im checking http://www.digitalife.com.mx/ for this, as i have bought in that store before, prices are not that bad and its really trustworthy.

 

But I´ll take a look on the parts you picked and see if I can squeeze in an i5.

 

Thanks!

I think an i5 is doable for you :)

 

I'll check out Digitalife and add it to my list of retailers. If you see a better price on the same model there, take it (keep in mind Amazon does free shipping on big buys, check that out too)

If a 950 is less than that, maybe
