AMD Trinity Pre-Built Gaming PC

xxnick2dmaxx · May 16, 2013

If I were to buy this pre-built PC from Newegg:

But I replaced the power supply with a 750W PSU:

And bought an AMD Radeon 7950 with 3GB DDR5 RAM:

Would this setup be a good gaming PC?

You would do better if you started with a barebones kit with a AMD FX6300 or FX4300 or Phenom 965 BE rather than a APU.

Goodeggray :

Can't you crossfire the IGPU with like a Radeon 7950 for increased performance and then overclock the processor to at least 4.2Ghz and get pretty great performance on most modern games maxed out?

Goodeggray · May 16, 2013

No you can only do it with a 6670 and the results are not worth it. The FX6300 is a much better cpu than the one in the A10. Even the phenom 965 is a better gaming cpu.

You can't crossfire the APU with anything nearly as strong as a 7950.

How about this motherboard:

This PSU:

This processor:

That mobo only works withe APU only. You need to get a AMD3+ mobo which is less money.

Goodeggray :

Last setup, lol.

Case:

Motherboard:

For $699.95 this seems like a pretty nice rig.

Looks good but you will need a hard drive and probably an optical drive.

Goodeggray · May 16, 2013

One item you need to change the case you picked is a matx case and is two small to fit the atx mobo. Try the NZXT source 210 case at Newegg. A better case that will fit the mobo and $5 less.

smeezekitty :

Already have a 1TB hard-drive. And pretty sure my PC has an optical drive, I'll just take the parts from that.

smeezekitty · May 16, 2013

And RAM too

xxnick2dmaxx · May 16, 2013

Goodeggray :

Added that case instead. I appreciate the advice a ton.

xxnick2dmaxx · May 16, 2013

Goodeggray :

Actually, do you recommend any cases of the same size that have fans already in it? Saves a bit of time for me, and maybe not too expensive?

Goodeggray · May 16, 2013

Cooler Master HAF 912 for $50 after $10 mir at Newegg.com. Haf 912 has a 120mm fan in front and back and more fans can be added.

Goodeggray :

Think I've got everything together for my rig, thanks a ton!
