Notes: I do not need any RAM, already have 2x 6GB sticks
Already have the OS on my previous build's HDD

Any helpful comments will be much appreciated!


What Kind of SEttings would this build run GTA IV, Skyrim, Battlefield 4, CS:GO, Crysis 2 & 3, Medal of Honor (2010), and ARMA 2?

What resolution are you going to play on? 1920x1080 makes a big difference than playing 1400x900.

All i have right now is an 1120 x 700 monitor, so ill be using that for at least a few months until i get a 1920x1080


EDIT: I know it's crappy, but im tight on money, and it was only $20

Well that card doesn't work very well with 1920x1080. What is the most you are will to spend on a card?

$200 right now, i have a $600 budget, and i dont really want to skimp out on anythng else. Any better build will be much appreciated, as i don't know much about finding the best parts

Talked to ye, so I'm just gonna leave the link here:

Tempted to ban you.

Really hard.

Anyways, get this instead: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/28yDp , That line of AMD CPUs have really shitty architecture and are misleading people by saying they have twice as many cores as they actually have. Also they're power hogs.

I might go with undercover's, as i can save $50, get good performance for the price, and get a game or two with the $50

AMD's chips are weaker core for core compared to Intel, and I think we all know that. However, they've got a much better price to performance ratio, and the FX-6300 is comparable to the low-end i5s if the program is optimized for multiple cores. After all, as long as the CPU isn't bottlenecking the GPU, it should be fine. I'd emphasize on a better GPU as having a faster CPU with a mediocre GPU won't really increase FPS. As for being a power hog, the difference is quite subliminal. People have compared FX-8350s to i5s and have found the cost of the electrical bill to only have gone up a dollar or two.
