RenzoGuzi · May 12, 2013

Hey guys. I just wanna get some opinions on this build. This is a budget build so if you'll suggest another build, please make sure that you stay in 550$ (with os). Anyway, here are the specs:

CPU: A10 5800K FM2
GPU: COOLERMASTER GEMINI II S524
MOBO: MSI FM2-A85XMA-E35
WIFI: EDIMAX WIFI ADAPTER
RAM: 8GB CORSAIR 1600MHZ 2x4
HDD: WESTERN DIGITAL 500GB SATA BLUE
SSD (OPTIONAL): PLEXTOR PX-128M2S 128GB
PSU: THERMALTAKE LITEPOWER 500W
OS: WINDOWS 8 64-BIT (or Windows 7 Home Premium. Depends on availability)
DVD: LG DVD WRITER

id like to add the sdd if i find some more money to add to my budget. Anyways, what do you guys think?

I wont be needing a case since my awesome mom bought me a cm storm scout ii since it 50% off in a retail store. Best deal ive ever came across.

I'd switch some things around, for exaple, A10 gpu will work faster with 1866 MHz ram. If you tight on budget, you can switch to A75 chipset motherboard, it's not gonna hurt perfromance. For a CPU cooler you better get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099&Tpk=212%20evo&IsVirtualParent=1

And for PSU i recommend getting one of these http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/power-supply/#xcx=0&m=52,11,95,71,63,39&w=400,300&e=2,1&sort=a7

Thanks for the reply man. I just read something online that troubled me. The new hasswell chips will not be compatible on lga 1155 sockets. Is that true? Cos if so, my pentium build is screwed and is stuck with only ivy bridges for future upgrades.

Whaa-a? You're talking about Intel. But your build is AMD. A10-5800k are AMD chips. AMD and Intel are two different companies. Intel has lga sockets. A10 socket is FM2.

I would suggest creating a new thread before a mod starts breathing down ur neck...

As for the build, it would help if we knew what it would be used for... Office work, vid editing, gaming, etc...
