Approximate Purchase Date:within the month
Budget Range:under 350
System Usage from Most to Least Important: always on minecraft server, the gfx card is only because i have no card currently that will work for this build
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: will not need keyboard, mouse, or monitor
Do you need to buy OS: i have an old copy of windows XP from an outdated machine i hope to use
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg but cheapest anywhere will do, i like newegg because i have extensive purchase history through them
Location: AZ united states
Parts Preferences: AMD if at all possible, id like an opportunity to play with AMD PC before purchasing one for standard use
Overclocking: no
SLI or Crossfire: no
Your Monitor Resolution: 1440x900
Additional Comments:
would prefer low heat, i will be operating the machine in an area that is already fairly warm, i wont be using case fans either
low power usage is a must, the machine will always be on
form factor does not matter, but a smaller case might bring the overall cost down
Reason: would like a separate machine to run the server on, i do processor intensive tasks on my main machines, i would normally just put together my own build but i have no history with AMD parts, i usually use intel.
parts i have considered so far:
gfx card
PowerColor Go! Green AX5450 512MK3-SH Radeon HD 5450 (Cedar) 512MB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
CPU
AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Six-Core Desktop Processor FD6300WMHKBOX
MOBO
GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
i am aware the mobo and processor are available in a combo deal however it is cheaper at the moment to purchase them apart because of promo codes + mail in rebate offers
any help put forward would be very appreciated as i said im new to AMD and would love some experienced advice
EDIT: would also lke to note that minecraft requires large amounts of RAM, i also intend to set up a 6 GB ramdisk for faster data access.
