hello I have a few questions. sorry I'm new but I  am some what experienced on pc knowledge. I currently have a spare MSI R9 fury X and would like to make a build around that card. now I know its a fairly old card so that would mean that good hardware should be cheaper?!!!!!?! Sooo my question is if some one could help me on my journey building a new pc around the technology we have today.

 

I'm also a father of four boys and Christmas is right around the corner so I was hoping to budget build if possible so the kids could game with dad!!!!

 

Thanks in advance........

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Even tho it's old, that card is still very capable. It will easily handle 1080p gaming. I will post some parts that i think could go well with this card. One thing is, i'd recommend 16gb of RAM, but with the current prices if you can't afford that, 8 will do. also. how much are you looking to spend?

Specs I'd recommend:

CPU:

Intel i5 7500 $195.00 
It's a good performer for a lower price. (Amazon link)

RAM:

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB $178.87 

we'd go with 2133MHz since it's cheapest and speed doesn't really matter that much (Amazon link)

 

PSU: 

EVGA 650 BQ $66.72
At least 650 Watt since the card is quite power hungry (Amazon link)

MOTHERBOARD:
ASUS ROG Strix B250-F $144.49 
it's a good motherboard with good power delivery(Amazon link)

 

You can get a lower tier Motherboard and 8gb RAM

If you crossfire the Fury X you're gonna need one beefy PSU

the R9 Fury is still a pretty good card, plays 1440p just fine still

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

I'd go with that since he wants budget. The 8th gen are quite expensive and Ryzen 1600 isn't really that good of a performer in Gaming

The 6 core 8400 costs just as much at $199 and a Z370 mobo that's not too 'basic' costs $120.

 

Ryzen 5 1600 is far better than a 7500 in gaming. At stock single core performance is a bit worse, but it does have 50% more cores and 2 threads per core rather than 1. Also Ryzen can be overclocked so it surpasses the 7500 even in single core performance.

Since you're going for a budget build i wouldn't really recomended it. Don't get me wrong, it is a nice CPU. It's just a tad expensive and you need to buy a separate cooler.

I'm pretty sure 4K Ultra might require more than 4gb of VRAM. This build is more suitable for 1080p Ultra/1440p High imo

the 8350 is gonna bottleneck the fury x, sell it off and get a better cpu.
