Hows my build/ Should i sell my xbox?

Deathby5nipez · Apr 10, 2013

I have a 250gb Xbox with kinect and extras, id assume it would fetch 300$ or so. Now since these next gen console were announced, I haven't really been to interested in them as they will be dated in a year or so. I have decided to leave the console scene and switch to PC. Now my inital budget was 850, and it was basically my current build, but with a radeon hd 7870 XT, now if i sell my xbox for lets say 300, then my budget becomes 1150. If i do sell then i can instead get an HIS Radeon HD 7970 3GB. Would it be worth it to sell the xbox? And hows my build?

Change the PSU to one from Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic. Coolermaster makes awful PSUs.

Also, if you plan to overclock, I recommend the ASRock Extreme4 motherboard.

I'd get a little more of a power supply. And you don't want the discontinued stock 7970, go with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150586

And yeah with a gaming computer like that you can out do you 360 any day of the week

will i be seeing a noticeable increase in fps with this for an hd radeon 7870 Xt, also i see people saying this 7970 doesnt run far cry 3 right

The only place where I could find any reference to issues is crossfire microstuttering. With a single GPU the 7970 should be fine.

Hey I'm planning on building a computer to and I might also sell my PS3. I think the difference you get on budjet and therefore preforemance pays off for the fact of having no console. Plus, if you end up with a high end gaming rig, that will probably mean you won't be using your xbox that much.
The only thing that puts me off from selling my own ps3 is the fact that I have lots of games for it and it would take some saving to get them all again for pc.

As far as your rig goes I'd get a more powerfull PSU and a better motherboard. I personally would go for the gtx670 as the price is very similar and drivers seem to be better.

Good luck with your build!
