What if...

[SammoFS]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/dTQcm8 Hey all.. Since most parts here are from Australia Ebay and they get sold (some) What should I do? Go find other cheaper prices?, If not and I find cheaper prices on pcpartpicker should I get them instead? (most likely)

B.T.W the $150 780Ti on that list is a current bid on it.. i think it sells in late 2 days.

I currently have about $164 dollars saved up for a Gaming computer. Should I buy parts individually or wait till I have a good amount like 800-900 and buy it all at once?

 

Sorry if this is a bit of a stupid question... Just need some "professional" Tips.

 

 

 

 

Please no LinusDropTips

 

I don't wanna drop any RX 480's

[Droidbot]

Just wait, save and hope that Ryzen shakes shit up. 

 

780Ti is NOT worth it for the money, and eBay AU buyers literally will bid-war you to the end of time. Save up $900 and buy the build I listed in my signature and put some peripherals around it.

That Xeon will be horrible for gaming, probably get the G4560 and then get an RX 470 eventually, or better yet for for AM4 APUs which should be able to game fairly well without a dedicated GPU

but yes saving up your money to order everything at once is going to be the best option

Doesn't look like new parts are much more than the used parts, the PSU here should be a lot nicer

Pretty much no performance difference since it's only .1ghz higher, also the pentiums/i3s don't turbo, just have their base clock, could make up the difference with the G4600

By the time he saves up money B250 boards should be cheaper as well bring the price down further, or Ryzen will be out
 

 

[SammoFS]

Apparently VEGA and Ryzen will be out by 3 march???

Hm. I saw a benchmark somewhere where the i3 was at least 10 frames higher in most benches. Seems not. And that's a fair point.

Vega is Q2, Ryzen looks to be end of February, so coming up fast

[Cracklingice]

Ryzen is rumored early march.  Vega won't be out for up to 3 months after that.

But ya here's Last Gen APU benchmarks, which aren't horrible if you have fast RAM, So DDR4 should help a ton as well

tldr: it's a good budget processor/gpu combo for eSports titles like CS, D2, SC2, but it's not as good for newer titles.

Well over 30fps in GTAV at 720p low ain't too bad, pretty much what consoles run the game at

Am4 can't come fast enough

It isn't too bad but considering my dad's machine is older (i7 870, 650Ti) and I get 70 at 1080p lowest..

The 7th gen APUs are already seeing some benchmarks out  They have A12's now too.
