litterly same shit different year for the past 3 years just go with whatever allows you to put more into your gpu.
also
>$500 budget
>buys intell
and is muchhhhhhhh better when it comes to budget builds. I recommend a a8 or a10 apu so you can skip the gpu and splurge on ram and mntdew
>>52223775
do you want windows included? hold on il link you some builds
>>52223836
I don't need windows
>>52223859

sorry I used wrong format
>>52224043
This will work OP.
NCIX will probably rape you with shipping on that case, though.
>>52224115
yea that is the down side I went with the cheapest,avalible case but mabey amazon has a cheaper one? everything else should be future proof
also before you upgrade get a new psu
>>52224115
can i get a good amd budget build as well
also what is the differences between amd and intel chips and radeon and geforce cards
>>52224250
yea hold on
amd is better bang for your buck nomatter what while intelligence has better benchmarks and single core prossing radeon and gforce cards are about the same but some games are made for nividia cards
also and cards typically require more power and get much hotter

basicly you get a comparable buy slightly slower CPU and much much much better gpu for the same price
>>52224369
Okay thats actually pretty good. What are the upgrade options for that? Could i use the same socket or would i need a whole new cpu and mobo? Also opinions on the pentium g3258 processor, I'm considering pairing that with either a gtx 750 ti ftw or gtx 750 ti sc
>>52224552
amd and intell cpus you completely different mobos logical upgrade would be double the ram and upgrade the CPU to mabey an a10 the gfx card in the amd build is solid for quiet awhile
I think the Pentium is alright but you might as well go i3 so its not a bottle neck in your build.
the 750 to is alright it depends on what this pc will be used for
>>52224601
This build is hopefully going to last 2 or 3 years and it will be for gaming and recording videos
I'm very limited in my AMD knowledge and it frustrates me but I would love to learn. I can upgrade the athlon x4 860k to an a10 later on? They are the same socket? Also what about the Piledriver AMD Chips?
>>52224650
yes they share the same socket also a fx 8*** CPU uould be better since that build already has a good gpu :) pile driver is amds architecture for there cpus its 32 nm and desu that's all I know about it it would be quite some time before you would need an upgrade soxjust go with the current gen fx when your ready
>>52224650
to put it simply a amd fx 9590 200 usd = i7 3960x 399 usd
