new pc build help

[Elite14]

Hi I need some help building a new pc, I have a $200 budget and i want the most bang for buck. I might spend a little more ($20-30) but only if I get a good performance increase, but I would perfer not to. All I need is a cpu,ram,mobo,psu. I have a working EVGA e-Geforce 9800 gtx. Also are there any black friday or cyber monday seals that i should look out for? here is the build i was thinking of

no not really i just wanted to know if these parts were a good choice for a $200 pc or if there are better parts at that price point. Im upgrading from a old P4 pc so at this point anything is an upgrade

AMD Athlon II X4 750K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor cool cpu   "keep it"

 

the other components, you can switch they for some others cheap versions 

 

(is not an impossible build, you can do it friend)

You'll have to hunt for some insainly good deals

With a $200 i'd suggest you try and eBay/ earn more money for more components. The AMD Athlon CPU you linked is a good start, however what about your OS? A case? Hard drive? I know you're currently on a computer, but you need to think of these things.

I'd almost suggest you look on craigslist for a used computer, I've seen Core2Quads with 4Gb of ram, a full system, for less than $150.

yes yes, that will work 

 

still i do recommend (if you can friend) keep that original motherboard (with two PCIe x16) 

 

MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 ATX FM2 Motherboard

LETS CROSSFIRE WITH FM2!

That won't be a bad idea.

I will try but it's to expensive and does the mircoATX one have 1 PCIe 16x slot?

1. I don't have the money

2. I have a EVGA e-Geforce 9800 GTX so I don't think I can crossfire

yes that micro atx have only one PCIe x16

 

but don't worry for that (one will do the work anyway)

i will kill for can do a crossfire with my machine this days, it will save me a lot of money when i can just add a 2d 7850

 

the FM2 can do crossfire (that is why the bring two PCIe x16 by the way)

 

and the 750k is a great (and cheap) gaming cpu

Get one 7950 and be happy. I tried crossfire. I got worse performance.

is a 760k better? and if so by how much?

[A10-FTW]

yes (check this and keep in mind that i love the A8)

 

 

 

the thing not pass for the cpu only, is the platform

 

the muscle cpus of AMD are in the AM3+ platform (the FX line and the Phenom II x4 line)

 

FM2 and FM2+ are target to APUs (and Athlon cpus), still i prefer this line instead AM3+

 

 

 

(but that is just me and my love for the A8 5600k and the A8 6600k)
