What is the Best Cheap Gaming Custom Pc

gabatienza · Apr 13, 2013

HI!!

I'm planning to buy this for my cheap custom pc

Processor: amd Fx4100
Videocard: sapphire ati radeon hd 7770 vaper x oc edition
Motherboard: Asrock 990FX extreme 3
Ram: kingston hyper x 4g ddr3
HDD:SEAGATE 500GB 7200RPM SATA

i don't know if the motheroard is good enough

We cannot help you without a budget.

That is WAY too much motherboard for a low end CPU and GPU like that.

ShadyHamster · Apr 13, 2013

I would drop down to the ASRock 970 Extreme3 or 4 Motherboard and swap out the FX4100 for a FX4300

ShadyHamster :

maybe i'll swap it out with FX6100 is this good enough too?

tiny voices · Apr 13, 2013

the 4100 and 6100 are crap. Get the fx-6300. Its considerably better. Drop the motherboard WAY down. something like $70-$80. And spend the money on a much better GPU.

I"ll just get an intel i3 3220

tiny voices · Apr 13, 2013

Thats a good choice. Get a b75 motherboard to go with it.

How about the sapphire ati radeon 7770 vaperx oc is good enough to run games like bf3 on mediun high, AC3 and gta 4

tiny voices · Apr 13, 2013

I would try to get an hd 7850 or a gtx650ti. Those games should run at medium to high settings at 1080p with a 7770. BF3 will be medium, not high. But, if you want to play new games that are more GPU intensive you will be stock on medium setting at most with a 7770 at 1080p.

tiny voices :

Maybe with 1366x768 resolution will it run on high?

tiny voices · Apr 13, 2013

Yes more than likely it will.

tiny voices :

You told me to get a b75 mother board. I found this asrock b75pro3-m is this alright?
its micro atx. is it compatible with the sapphire?

Sorry if i asked too many questions.

tiny voices · Apr 13, 2013

Its a perfectly fine motherboard, yes.

gabatienza · Apr 13, 2013

tiny voices :

Do a 500w psu alright with this?
Thank you somuch for your help.

ShadyHamster · Apr 14, 2013

A 500w psu will be more then enough for that setup, just make sure its from a good quality brand, i always recommend seasonic or corsair, but there other brand which will be just as good such as xfx, antec or coolermaster just to name a few.

gabatienza · Apr 14, 2013

ShadyHamster :

Do you know a good quality brand chassis?

ShadyHamster · Apr 14, 2013

Have you got a set budget for a case?

The Corsair Carbide 200R or 300R are great cases
Or if you want a small form factor case to go with the asrock b75pro3-m the BitFenix Prodigy is an amazing little case.
Anything from antec, coolermaster, fractal design or silver stone would be a good choice too.

gabatienza · Apr 14, 2013

ShadyHamster :

Maybe cases below $75 will do

ShadyHamster · Apr 14, 2013

The Corsair Carbide 200R is $60 on newegg:

Thats what i would be getting (in fact if it was $60 here in Australia i would get it right now lol)

Maybe see what others can suggest for cases.

tiny voices · Apr 14, 2013

Rosewill challenger
Corsair 200r
NZXT Source 210

All very good cases

tiny voices :

Well i'm still thinking what video card i should buy because the sapphire hd 7770 vapor x oc edition has 1100mhz core clock and my other choice is the evga gtx650ti sc has 1071 core clock.

tiny voices · Apr 14, 2013

the 650ti will be better in everything.

gabatienza · Apr 15, 2013

tiny voices :

I also found another mobo and its msi b75ma-p45 its a little cheaper than the asrock its mostly the same i think its good

tiny voices · Apr 15, 2013

I prefer the ASRock but this board will do as well.

gabatienza · Apr 15, 2013

tiny voices :

This is my final choice
processor: i3 3220
videocard: evga gtx650ti sc 1gb gddr5
motherboard : msi b75ma-p45
ram : corsair xms3 4gb 1x4
optical drive : asus 24x 24 b3st
HDD: 500 gb seagate barracuda
PSU : coolermaster extreme 525w
case: antec one hundred
