New build!

[Darts401]

So I'm planning my build, I have the case and PSU but I'd like help knowing if I should get an R7 260 or save money and get an R7 250X (Since they are $50 around me.).

 

CPU is being shipped, here are parts. 

Core i3 6100, 12GB DDR4, Stock cooler, Arctic Silver 5, 500 watt EVGA 80+ certified, AMD Radeon R7 360 2GB GDDR5, Deepcool Tesseract SW Blue, 2TB WD Caviar Green, WD Blue 500GB, WD Caviar Blue 250GB.

Note: My friend is letting me borrow their 360

Dont change gpus???

The 360 is already really low end, i don't know why you would want to go lower

RX 460 would be good GPU for this build, or a RX 470. depends on what you can get for how much money and whats on the used market if you are willing to get a used GPU

I'd rather get something from the 200 series because I can get brand new 260 for $89 and brand new 250X for $67.

well you have a R7 360 listed as your current GPU, which is better then both of them

your r7 360 is just a rebranded r7 260, no point getting the older gpu.

You think you're getting value for your money when you're actually paying for performance that isn't there.

 

Here's an RX 460 2GB for $89($99-$10 rebate) that will run circles around those cards.

Well if your not keeping it, I would get ~gtx 750/260x for a optimal gaming experience

 

Anything lower is just horrible imo

get a used GTX 770, GTX 960 or R9 380. they usiually go for about $85 or around there with the 770 going for less often

Those are too much, I really don't need anything super high end I just need something that can play CS:GO, Terraria, and a bunch of my old PC games.

I'm not even gaming at 1080p I'm too cheapo to get a new monitor.

GTX 660 will do you good tbh

That would be overkill for what I do though.

not really, you say you want to play CS:GO and my 750TI stuggled at 1080p low sometimes. if you ever want to play a more demanding game the GPUs you are looking at will be pretty terrible. those GPUs are what i would put in a office PC that needed more screen outputs

[Darts401]

Nobody is listening when I say I don't need a fucking 770 for playing games, I only need like a R7 250 or something.
