4th build! - Semi budget rig

[TheUnicornMan]

Hey guys, first post here, hopefully the first of many!!

So this is my 4th rig ever, it is kinda budget-ish is good enough for low-level gaming.

THE RIG:

CPU: A10-5800k

MOBO: Biostar A85W

Case: Zalman z11

PSU: Rosewill (pardon me Linus) 630W modular

HDD: 1to Western Digital green drive (1st gen.)

SSD: 120Go Kingston SSDNow

RAM: 32Go G.Skill Ares 1866Mhz (Tried to overclock to 2133Mhz but got unstable)

Basicly I got excited over Trinity APUs and wasn't disapointed for a IGPU configuration. This would be great for either a really budget oriented build (going with 8Go of ram and no SSD) for around 550$. It still games quite decently depending on what you want. The Zalman Z11 is one of the best value as far as cases go. I paid 55$ at NCIX and it has pretty good cable management, better than most (all?) at this pricepoint. The 32Go of RAM is overkill, but I got a deal and I'm gonna sell a couple of stick (8Go each).

Runs League Of Legend at about 40 FPS and never drops under 30 FPS MAXED

Runs Minecraft (lol) at 60 FPS stable MAXED

Runs Saints Row 3 at 25-30 FPS at MAXED

Runs Portal 2 fluidly (no benchmark) MAXED

Sorry for any spelling mistakes or grammar conventions mistakes, my first language is french :D

Since it may benefit you, gigabyte is usually referred to as GB instead of Go

Some of your components are quite good, whereas some are fairly lackluster; perhaps you should considering an overhaul but while salvaging your good components (such as your SSD, RAM, and case)?

Thanks for the precicision, in french gigabyte is actually Go :P

For the case: I just like a nice looking case

For the RAM: I got 32GB for REAL cheap and heck, got it might as well use it

SSD: I think it benefits as much for a lower and higher end machine, windows and programs on it are running REALLY faster

And I do consider an overhaul for keeping RAM, SSD and throwing it in a corsair C70 with a i5 and gigabyte z77-ud3h (I think) and dual boot mac/windows (Linux?)

Nice Ram! 1866 is enough for maximize the performance of your APU and 32Gb are an huge amount!
