Posted November 6, 2013 I would honestly save your money and build an actual computer instead of some cheapo that will eventually die and you'll have to spend more money in the long run upgrading every single part in it.

Posted November 7, 2013 I like bio star I've never had a issue You running the 990 board? I created a post last month or so about all the issues I've had, and no one using one responded. Biostar's website lists incorrect drivers. Biostar's own DriverAgent tells me that Biostarr's drivers are incompatible.. Tech support won't comment on driver compatibility and support dismisses DriverAgent as seperate Biostar division. It's bad. BIOS has VRMs throttle at 55*. Would be a perfect board for those who don't OC. I currently have my 780 for sale so I can get a different board and a 280X. Sorry for the rant. Been very aggravating with this board. If anyone will pay the shipping, I'll let it go for $70.

Posted November 8, 2013 A8 CPU = A10 6800K (@4.3Ghz) / GPU = HD 8670D (@844mhz/ram@1866mhz) - 2016 ≠ Dual Cores - why learn Linux ? - OLD intel x4 cpu (Q6600) + amd HD 7950 - this is what i think on watts x dollar cost - CPU "bottlenecks" only start to show "at the super high end cards" (like the 390) if you have a 4 cores CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 8, 2013 You shouldn't do that, try to sell something, get a job, find a way to increase your budget. I usually don't set back from a challenge like this, but man.. You can't get reasonable hardware for that price. If you really want a cheap PC, use linux and get something like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1Zddh CPU: AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor ($109.99 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A55M-HD2 Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard ($44.99 @ Newegg) Memory: Corsair XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($42.34 @ Amazon) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.65 @ OutletPC) Case: Rosewill RANGER-M MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($24.99 @ Newegg) Power Supply: Corsair Builder 430W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply ($19.99 @ Microcenter) Total: $301.95 (Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.) I'ts a bit over your budget, but that's just hard With linux and wine, you can do some gaming, somewhat gaming.. untill you can buy windows later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
