Final AMD Budget Build :)

aredflyingbird · Apr 22, 2013

Hello, these are the parts that im getting. I would like to know if everything fits, compatible, and a few mhz overclocks. I currently have Ramaxel RAM prebuilt from another pc 6gb @1600mhz, Hitachi HDD, OS, and a ODD from pre-built. I currently have a 1280x720 monitor lol and in a few weeks I would like to upgrade to a 1920x1080 monitor. Will this achieve 60+ fps on ultra, bf3? and when bf4 come out ill just put another 7870 XT and maybe some fans. Thanks

Just missing OS and a cooler for overlclocking like the hyper 212+

It'll play BF3 fine, but BF4, can't really say. I would however get a PSU from Seasonic, Corsair, XFX, or PC Power & Cooling.

Supermuncher85 :

Would it get past 65C in a 4.2 OC? especially in summer..

ksham :

can you recommend me one? preferably around 60 dollars

You may want to grab this psu if you plan to crossfire the 7870 XT: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-hcg750

I have my FX-6300 oc'd to 4.0ghz on the stock cooler and I reach up to 71C with prime 95 on stock cooler and ~23C room temperatures. However, gaming only brings it up to 50C. I will still suggest a cpu cooler though, especially if your house gets hot in the summer.

realchaos :

That would put me over budget which is $600.

realchaos · Apr 22, 2013

Where are you buying from? Amazon?

aredflyingbird · Apr 23, 2013

realchaos :

Mostly newegg, case from amazon everything with tax, promos, shipping is $599

ksham · Apr 23, 2013

SeaSonic M12II 650W

realchaos · Apr 23, 2013

Is it possible to just go like $5-10 over? The Antec psu is much better if you wish to crossfire.
However, you can grab this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx600
Can't crossfire but it can handle a 7970

dont listen to this guy. not only is silverstone one of the best psu makers out there, that psu you picked out is more then capable of handling two 7870s. Not only does two 7870s in a build use about 500w they do that in a system with a highly overclocked i7 3960k

im sorry OP but nothing is wrong with your psu you choose and there is no need for more wattage then 600

cbrunnem :

I disagree. Silverstone is definitely not. They don't make their own PSU, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

realchaos · Apr 23, 2013

^The OEMs of silverstone psu's are Enhance, FSP, Sirtec, etc. They aren't close to being one of the best psu makers.
Also, the gpu aren't regular 7870s, they are 7870 XT. They will consume more power than a regular 7870 and it is not a good idea to have your psu stressed that badly. I would say to get atleast a 650w, but recommend a 750w.
