AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition
MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 FM2 AMD A75
PowerColor Ax7850
Team Dark Series 8GB DDR3-1600
Western Digital WD Blue 1TB
Coolmax Zx Series Zx500 500w PSU

Soooo..... are all of the parts compatabile with one another and is this a decent system?
Thanks in advance, Aeouq

could you list your budget? i want to ensure you have the best build for your money

Aeouq · Jun 24, 2013

Well I was trying to keep it around 530$ CAD.

Aeouq · Jun 24, 2013

And by 530 I actually meant 500

take a look at this, it is a good build, besides that your build will work

Aeouq · Jun 24, 2013

I already have a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.

Aeouq · Jun 24, 2013

So is that build better then my build?

RaisingTheBarHD · Jun 24, 2013

they will perform similar but its your decision on amd or intel

Aeouq · Jun 24, 2013

So the 650 ti will preform like the 7850?

RaisingTheBarHD · Jun 24, 2013

Aeouq :

the amd will do better in some, the nvidia will do better in some they are pretty much the same

Aeouq · Jun 24, 2013

This is an all-gaming rig.

RaisingTheBarHD · Jun 24, 2013

Aeouq :

i understand like one has higher graphics but lower clock rate and textures, i would go with the 7850 since its 2gb now that i look at it.

Aeouq · Jun 24, 2013

I think I would rather stick with the Phenom seeing that it is a quad core and most games in the future will be utilizing the extra power of the quad core. Is there anything else I should add to my build?

RaisingTheBarHD · Jun 24, 2013

Aeouq :

case fans maybe

Aeouq · Jun 24, 2013

So if I ordered all these parts, and I had them all in front of me right now, I could build a computer and start running games?

RaisingTheBarHD · Jun 25, 2013

Aeouq :

yes

Aeouq · Jun 25, 2013

Would my build be able to play Battlefeld 3 at ultra?

RaisingTheBarHD · Jun 25, 2013

Aeouq :

most likely everything maxed out at 30fps so i would drop a few things but it should work ok
