You'll want aftermarket cpu cooler if going the AMD route, my noctua is awesome. Overclocked i5 sits at 20C idle. Also how good is pcccasegear

>amd
intel is the master race

>>602976017
Intel seemed a fair bit more expensive compared to the AMD equivalent, is it truly that much worse?
>>602976156
Thanks, and so good! Wish we had the same deals as the US though..

this is a budget build. you're spending too much on RAM for a budget build, thats for god damn sure.

you want to pay real attention to the case you buy, if you fuck up there you're gonna be pissed. i would bust out the tape measure for reference, check the dimensions on everything, just make sure all that shit can fit in the case.
like you may not be able to get aftermarket cooling if the case is too small.

also, cases these days keep the ambient temp inside so low now, you could go with stock cooling for the CPU if you got a good case.

>>602976341
A friend of mine got AMD everything cause it was cheap and its a giiiiaannt piece of shit. I save up 2k and got intel/nvidia and got good clocks and no problems. I got it two years ago and it is still fast and fuck up free.

Yeah, the fuckin oz tax vendors put on us is ridiculous

>>602975846
Intel is going to be a better choice but AMD isn't so bad. I mean you are paying so much less for more cores when going with the fx-6300 which games are going to start needing. I think its a decent build

>>602976341
holy fuck you guys are retarded.
Radeon is doing better than Nvidia right now, and AMD is fine, they have durable cpus. Your builds fine, just get a better PSU

for that money go intel OP

>>602975846
go to /g/, they will help you a lot more than these retards

>>602976341
Look at benchmarks. Per core most i3's beat the highest end AMD'S.
I would highly recommend spending all you can on a good motherboard, processor, and a case. Those 3 things are a huge bitch to upgrade late.


Plus if you don't focus on those 3 when you go to upgrade your GPU you'll need a new motherboard and new CPU to fit the new MoBo and of course your going to need different RAM.


Trust me. Splurge on MoBo and processor. And the case if you care.

Get nvidia and intel

>>602976666
That was the cheapest 8Gb Ram with the exception of a single channel for $10 cheaper, which really isn't too big of a deal for me.
Thanks for the case advice though
>>602976746
The cheapest intel chip I would go for is the i5 4460, which is about $100 more and you get less cores anyway.
Is it just a 'get what you pay for' sort of thing or can AMD's hold their own pretty well?

>>602975846
These prices are super high, i'm guessing you are not in america. Its honestly all fine, except I would replace the FX6300 with a G3258. And with the money you save from getting the G3258, get the GTX960 instead of the 270x. This will get you a much better rig and keep you at the same price point. I build custom rigs for a company that does large scale graphic design, just trust me on this.

Ditch the AMD shit and you are good OP.

>>602975846
Don't buy Kingston SSDs. their was a bit of a scandal about them recently, with Kingston lying about how fast they are. Their actual barely faster then HDDs.

>>602975846
You're going to want a bigger ssd. windows takes up about 60 gigs. or just get a 2 tb main drive and just use the ssd for boot

>>602977300
>>602977314
I figured the R9 270x would perform better than the gtx750ti, so if I was to go intel, could I still use the 270x or do they still work well interchangeably?
Probably a really stupid question..

>>602977448
Don't listen to these faggots. Amd is just fine. I have an fx 8320 oc to 4ghz and I've never had a problem with it. /b/ is just full of intel fanboy faggots

>>602975846
Op where are you? in US this build would be like 500 maybe a little more. If you are in the US, you are going through a super bad website because those prices are incredibly high.

>>602977637
Yep. Just pay about $150 more for everything intel just cause its intel

>>602977705
Windows does not take up 60GB, this is false information.

>>602977705
Wtf windows takes like 25GB on a bad day w/ windows 7 ult 64

>>602976017
Ignor cancer like this who probably don't even have an Intel build. AMD is a great budget build I had a couple a few years ago, did fine.

Anyways just a few things, don't pay extra for "gaming ram" as it's all the same, make sure grab a modular psu as it will help you in building it, check out the tried and true Corsair hx650, and a seagate 1tb barracuda is plenty storage for you, and cheap.

>>602977622
Do this OP, this is honestly a no brainer, assuming you don't want to change your budget. This is exactly what I was about to say but someone beat me to it.

Who the fuck would pay 99 buckaroos for ram? Has it spiked in price lately or is OP just a fag?

>>602977705

If I was to take this option, wouldn't I go with the Radeon option for Mantle? The main game I'll probably be playing is Battlefield anyway

>>602977300
Most i3s beat amd per core. Too bad that most games these days use multiple cores, such as bf4, which uses 8 cores. Don't spread misinformation faggot

>>602975846

For gaming? Nope.

MB - W/o OC any low budget mobo will do.
Case - Seriously? I've seen people game on PC's w/o a case(the mobo was lifted on matchboxe's, funny).
CPU - It's always good to have a nice one. I've got a 4690k for like 50$ more(in a shitty country) and its good.

Most of your pesos should go into the GPU->CPU->PSU then everyting else. Thats the gaming way ofc.

>>602978132
Mantle adds virtually no frame rate. Plus are you aware of the current "scandal" where all mantle does is actually discretely lower graphics settings to obtain the higher FPS? Definitely don't let mantle determine your rig, you will definitely regret that. The 960 is more powerful enough over the 270x that mantle wont make a difference.

>>602977991
First person in this thread that knows what they're talking about. Listen to this guy OP

>>602978500
I would go for a 280x also. Might be a bit more but 3GB vram is always good, especially on a 384bit bus.

I do a fresh windows 8.1 install for my job almost everyday, its exactly 19.1GB with the drivers needed for the PC's I put them on. Sounds like you need to delete your temp.

Honestly anyone that is harping about Intel is a fanboy, plain and simple. Yes, Intel out performs AMD, not many people will argue that, but the differences in performance aren't great enough to justify a few hundred dollars more for an Intel CPU. You're probably, like most other people here, going to use the computer for gaming mostly. AMD makes very good chips for what they're worth, that extra money you save could get you better RAM or a GPU, which is what you're probably going to need more of for high quality gaming. Plus, AMD motherboards are usually compatible with other chipsets that AMD uses, or is going to use, unlike intel where you need a new motherboard for every generation of CPU. Unless you really need that extra CPU speed in a professional setting, there is no reason not to get AMD. Of course, if you just have to have the top of the line computer, money isn't an option, I'm living off a trust fund, then go for it.

Intel > AMD
120gb is hardly enough
get 4x4gb
no DVD/BR disk reader/writer

Probably only need 450W power instead of 650

>>602978956

I like AMD, don't get me wrong... but when an Intel 4-core outperforms an AMD 8-core... it should say something.

>>602977719
Wow how was this question been ignored. Yes OP, you can use AMD GPU with intel CPU and the other way around. That is no problem.

Intel over amd is perspective,

There is nothing wrong with on board audio,
270x required atleast 500W PSU

listen to this guy OP

>>602975846
G.Skill is overpriced stuff and they are not international which says quiet alot, corsair, crusial and kingston have great value, (corsair is my personal favorite)

Go for intel processor they perform much better and only cost a little more,
overall they win in value. i5 is well enough you will regret if you buy i3, and i7 is overpriced for that performance.

Go for nvidia instead of asus graphic card, you are building a gamer pc not
a video editing pc, over 60% of gamers use nvidia for several reasons.
GTX 960 is in the same price range and perform 50% better, Gigabyte and EVGA have great coolers for their cards.

For motherboard use something from a company that knows more about them like: Asus, Gigabyte or MSI. remember to use intel based with 1150 socket

>>602975846
You're over paying for the processor. And that card is fucked go with the Sapphire R9 280x

>>602979295

Intel 4790K 4-core 4.0GHz vs AMD FX-9370 8-core 4.4GHz

Swap the FX6300 for a G3258 and swap the 270x for a GTX960, bam done.

>>602979732
And obviously switch to a LGA1150 MoBo

>>602979073
Cite it and I'll believe it. Go ahead and do some benchmarks against the newest i5 quad core and an AMD Phenom quad core (an 8 year old CPU). Yes it does out perform, a small amount, but do you really want to pay $600-700 dollars more for a change that's hardly noticeable?

>>602979816
>Cite it and I'll believe it.

cited then, from actual benchmark tests... >>602979683

>>602977866
pay more, get faster, better quality, better technology (do amd go below 90 nm? though not intel is down to 22 nm. do you even haswell retard)

What do I upgrade GPU to? I don't want 3.5gb ram and future proof. Want to spend around £200ish.

>>602980115
No, go ahead and check the benchmarks, G3258 beats FX6300 in virtually everything, especially gaming. So yes it is 2 cores, but they are some serious fucking cores. Or you could obviously just to the 4670K or 4690K but thats a descent jump in price.

>>602980310
Wait till 970 is on discount, best gpu in terms of price/power

>>602980306

Really.... $100 bucks more for 50% more power isn't worth it?

I think so.

>>602980310
I wouldnt put too much more powerful over a GPU with that CPU. Even just going to a 780 or 970 might be a little much for that 2400.

>>602980493
I have i5 2500k
970 gtx no bottleneck!

>>602976341
There is no difference in fact my AMD kicks the shit out of my friends NVIDIA anyone who says they are different is pretty much just an insecure cock sucking fan boy

>>602980493
CPU is doing alright so far but the GPU is dying. One fan doesn't work ast all and its reaching 90c with underfoot and under clocking so GPU is first priority.

CPU, motherboard and ram will come sometime later this year slo I'm contemplating getting something decent for the future.

I'm worried about PSU the most in case I go down the AMD road.

>>602975846
Are you fucking kidding me? How can you get a pc like that in the US? Where i live it's about 800€ and i get 1000€ a month if i'm lucky. Fuck this country, i'm outta here

>>602980591
The 2400/2500 is LGA1155 right? I'd look for a 3770K cheap on ebay or craigslist or something before I put a 970 or higher on it.

>>602976341
Yeah, AMD stuff runs hotter and is less powerful than Intel, their GPU are more back and forth with Nvidia but with nvidia's being cooler, quieter and use less power.

In gaming? Nope, most games use 4 core's or more. The older one's which don't will still run fine on the AMD cpu since its not that slow as you imagine.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a AMD fanboy, using a i5 in my rig atm since that's what suits my needs. The thing is, AMD cpu's are not as power efficient etc. But despite that their are good for their price compared to Intel's cpu's at the same price. Let's give credit where credit is due.

>>602981136
Yes true. But maybe thats just me, I hate rigs where the GPU is potentially held back by the CPU. Which can certainly happen on some heavy games and application on a i5 2400 and gtx970 rig.

what happened to AMD about 10 years ago they were really competing against intel now they suck ass

>>602976156

Unless the room you sit in is below 20C you are a fucking liar, or you've bought a cooler than breaks the laws of thermodynamics.

>>602981184

It was money well fucking spent considering it wasn't high end when I bought it.

Don't give a fuck about 1440p or AA but want to enjoy future games at relatively high settings so I'm thinking 280x or 970 but the 3.5gb ram bullshit ois putting me off out of principle.

>adding OS

Are you fucking kidding me?

>>602983408
So close. I know a couple people said get 1 stick, but fuck that. Get 2x4GB, dont get a single 8.

>>602983408
find a torrentable win 7 ult to make o.s free. C'mon buddy

>>602983408
Dont pay for an OS

>>602983600
Dubs tell no lie 1 8gb stick under performs a set of 4gb sticks

>>602983488
I'm considering not even upgrading because all the games i like still run alright.

>dat GTA V doe

>>602983408
I run a 270x. Shit's dope and affordable, don't need to fork out that much cash for a gpu.

Runs pretty much most i can throw at it at 1080, maxed settings, with a solid 60fps.

>>602983408
>buying an OS

Are you even thinking about considering applying yourself? Jesus buttfucking christ Australians need to be fucking removed.

>>602983706

You want to BUY an OS? !!LOL!!

This.

>>602983921
Oh cmon. There is nothing wrong with bronze, especially on a budget system. No one else will every say avoid bronze. again, keeping in mind it is a budget system.

>>602983982
Abbo pls

>>602975846
Power supply is utter shit get a rosewill capstone 500 or evga 500 if you on a budget

>>602983921
kekd.

>>602984245
What's funny?

>>602984058
You should be right, though.... Building a 'decent' gaming rig here in Aus is not a cheap endeavor really you should be looking to spend somewhere in the range of $1500 here because we get buttfucked on the tax.

>>602984058
The money you save with bronze is less than you lose while using your computer. As long as you dont have to pay for electricity, stick with bronze...after that get gold or platin..thank me later

>>602984301

Try again

>>602984382
finishing on the end of that, you're looking at having to make replacements quickly because you skimp on the price now, save up a bit more then make the move from console to PC. It's not worth the hassle 6 months from now to replace a possibly busted PSU and a cooked CPU because you tried to stretch your cash too thin.

>>602975846
Powersupply is bad (you dont want a surge killing your entire computer). 270x at that price is not really worth it (you're getting a 7950 or 660ti pretty much). Also, buying AMD processors is not something that people do anymore.

>>602983921

efficiency's are measured at optimal load
I doubt anyone here even knows the effiency graph of his powersupply or even thinks about loading it to optimal level
bronze is fine faggot

>>602984897

Agreed.

>>602984719

amd is fine for a budget build
ps3 has amd cpu, ps3 has amd cpu, xbox one has amd cpu

check your facts faggot

Is this supposed to strengthen your argument? Because it doesn't.

>>602985099

dis.

most newer psu's come with stuff like overload protection and all that shit so you should be safe unless your house gets struck by lightning ofc

>>602985235

singlecore performance is not a gaming thing anymore

OP has received such a mixture of answers, he is probably confused.

>>602985376
You'd be surprised how often it helps out. I run into single threaded software every day.

>>602985099
Pc's never look as good in pics as they do in person. Either way, I know a 4000$ system when I see on, nice rig.

>>602985099
Its not about bronze silver ect its about getting a good PSU aerocool is not known for quality or even something worth spending money on if there are better units for cheaper

Zippy Emacs won't hit bronze on even 80+ for shit but they are some of the best units you can ever buy

Also similar to a raidmax 650 that will do bronze but fails in stability and line filtering

Doesn't matter what efficiency PSU you get just get one that performs well overall look on sites like jonnyguru or techpowerup for PSU reviews and realhardtech who keep a database of PSU reviews

>>602985759
yeah, i actually really am! so sure of it before this

>>602985807
HDD is still slowest part in pc no matter how you twist or turn it. intel vs amd in gaming or software isnt going to give much difference

Have the exact same pc just bought it a month ago. Works pretty good, you could buy better gpu and cheaper memory. Also asus or gigabyte motherboard. Avoid asrock

>>602986148
Best all you do in a video game is sit at the load screen. Best info I've ever seen!

But he is getting a CX750. And corsair is rebranded seasonic, which are fantastic PSU's. And I do use jguru, my V1000 is highest rated PSU on there. It was at time of purchase anyway, things may have changed.

>>602986366
funny photo shame its shopped

>>602986267

Hurrdurrrrrr.
K OP get intel for a budget build, spend more money and get 0 performance increase.
Totally worth it/10

>muh single threaded software

>>602986523

What was your first clue feg?

>>602985099
Its about the amount of power that gets converted...not being reliable.
Gold saves you money in the long run

>>602983408
The amd one was fine I have fx6300 and 270x too. You don't have to listen to intel fanboys. I run everything ultra 60+ fps. If you can spend more buy 280

>>602986744
Efficiency implies other things as well. There is a lot that goes on in a PSU to "up" the efficiency. Primarily, more quality parts, which leads to more reliability.

>>602986376
CX range is actually channel well as tech not seasonic

They skimp on a few things with the CX range its passable but you paying for the corsair name more then anything that's why they only give a 3 year warranty and not their standard 5 or 7 years on their better units
The rosewill capstone 750 is infinitely better and around the same price

Do some research on the kingston V300, I've heard a lot of bad things about it recently. I'd recommend spending a little bit more for a better SSD

>>602986958
Bronze and gold and silver dont state reliability, goddamnit....

>>602986646
Funny you should say that. I've had both brands and IMO AMD died when the FX series came along. They're all about dumping more wattage into chips for higher clocks with minimal gains. Phenom II is still better than many new AMD chips.

>>602986958
Its an efficiency seal...

>>602975846
Don't be a poorfag. Get intel 4690k and nvidia gtx 770 at least.

>>602987098
Sandisk 128 is about the same price

>>602987098
No, it does not state it, that's why I used the word "implies".

Put in the extra 30 bucks and get the fx8350 cpu. Besides that good build

>>602987197

I remember when intel sold cards to unlock your cpu
>jewtel
I must admit amd has a higher power consumption however theyve seem to fixed that in the fx 8370

>>602987648

nvmd fx 8350 also is 125 watts

>>602983408
Don't forget the SSD you won't regret

>>602975846
get a 1000w power supply. you will struggle with your 650w if you want to upgrade. also get a nvidia gpu. they are better.
