http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819113286 I've heard its really good for budget PCs like mine. Looks like it runs with 2 less cores but I really don't need all that processing power for where I'm going. And I had a look at some of those Intel i5 and i7 processors. Way too expensive for me. My friend says to hold off on the SSD even though bootup will probably take a bit longer. OT: 5k posts for 5hift. Lets go bois. |

Are all power sources the same size? Original power source was 6 inches long and 5 and a half inches wide. On its side it was 5 and a half inches long and a little less than 3 and a half inches wide. It goes in on its side. EDIT: Revised list of parts: Managed to get below 500 bucks which is pretty sweet. EDIT EDIT: Now I just realized that the motherboard I have won't fit since it isn't a micro ATX. Know any good micro ATX motherboards that support the FX-6300?

Intels processors are 2expensive4me. If I wanted something from Intel with my budget it'd probably be a ****ty i3 processor, literally the same one my laptop uses. I'd be pretty pissed off if my desktop used the same processor as my laptop. Here is the updated build: Ditched the FX-6300 for an A10-7870K so it could be compatible with the mobo. Also got a different version of the GTX 960 since I wasn't exactly sure if the other one was going to fit in my case. I think this may be my final build for now. Put this through PCPartPicker.com and everything looks good. |

The i3 6100 is far from ****ty and is a much better pick than anything AMD right now. It is on par or better than AMD's FX-8350 when paired with a GTX 960 or similar performance graphics card. e.g. http://www.techspot.com/review/1087-...cpu/page4.html PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor ($117.59 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Asus H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($51.98 @ Newegg) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($26.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($47.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 380 4GB Double Dissipation Video Card ($190.80 @ Newegg) Case: Enermax OSTROG ATX Mid Tower Case ($38.25 @ Newegg) Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($44.98 @ Newegg) Total: $518.58 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2016-05-10 23:56 EDT-0400 |
