$400-$500 budget gaming PC build help

Wormslayeer · Apr 20, 2013

what specs would you recommend? should I get the AMD A8-5600k or the FX-6300? or other recommendations?

slomo4sho · Apr 20, 2013

What components do you already have and where do you plan on purchasing the components? Does this budget also require OS costs to be included?

Wormslayeer · Apr 20, 2013

slomo4sho :

No, it does not require the costs of the OS.I am starting from scratch, so I don't have any parts yet. I am actually buying the parts here on the Philippines, and the prices here are synonymous to those of Newegg's , so I would go for Newegg's pricelist.

Wormslayeer :

Does this mean you need mouse, keyboard, and monitor as well?

Wormslayeer · Apr 20, 2013

I only need the CPU

A friend of mine has a A10-58k Trinity. I gotta say it has a impressive performance for the money: playing BF3 without a dedicated vid card its kind of sureal.

I'm building myself an A10 system later on for my business, I gotta kill sometime while "working"

what resolution will u be playing at 7850 is a good card but if u play at 720p it will be a bit overkill a 650 ti will be more than capable for playing any released game

I would be using a 23" monitor what would you recommend? should I go for the 7850 or 650? or I should use a much bigger screen? we also have a 32" screen , IDK what to use :0

slomo4sho · Apr 20, 2013

Wormslayeer :

The 23" screen should be running at 1080P so I would definitely try to squeeze in the 7850 if you can.

l89 · Apr 20, 2013

definitely a 7850 don't buy a gtx 650
the least i would recommend would be a gtx 650 ti but keep hd 7850 ur 1st preference

That 7850 might need more power, I suggest to get 500 watts, opposed to 430 watts
