I can choose between these 4 configs to build my new Gaming PC. It's overpriced because it's in Brazil. Take the TOTAL PRICE in consideration please! I need the best for the price. I really liked the last one, but seems that the mobo sucks and I didn't understand, because I saw a picture of this desktop and and it had usb 3.0 in it. Anyway, choose the best for the price and tell me why did you choose, TY!

I prefer Config #1, not so much for its advantages, but for disadvantages in all the others.
The PSU in Config #2 is probably a Corsair "CX." These are made with some inferior Samxon capacitors that do not like heat, and are known for early failure. I would not put one in a gamer, particularly one that needs as much power as this one. The larger hard drive might make it worth $35 more than the first one, but I'd rather have the GTX760, and the Asus motherboard lacks heatsinks on its VRMs.
The CPU in Config #3 is weaker, as is its graphics card. For non-gaming, and as games become better threaded, I think the CPU difference will be too large to ignore.
The motherboard in Config #4 is indeed old tech, with a modern socket tacked onto it. Lacking SATA 6Gb/s, USB3.0 and running its Hypertransport buss at 4400 MT/s (rather than 5200 MT/s of a modern board), it will not get the best out of its CPU.
It would be nice to know what the unspecified 80+ 500W PSU in #1 is, but I doubt it is any worse than the Corsair CX, particularly long term.

Edit: No change, even after the price adjustment.

My suggestion was irrespective of the price . Config 1 is still good at 1200$

hmm, what if I got config 4 with the mobo from config 1, would it be good? Because it would be cheaper. I think the only diference now would be the processor and Idk if theres is a huge difference from fx-6300 to fx8320 that is worth paying more.

I loved your anwser. What If I could get the config 4 with a better mobo(something like GA-970A-D3)? would it become the best for the price? I wonder if there will be a difference from fx-6300 to 8320 that is worth paying more, but now, I think I will go with the fx-6300.

Future proofing for longer stints of time between rebuilds is what every pc enthusiast is after. If you think the 6300 will last longer and not need to be replaced sooner than the 8320 then go for it.

ty for your help dude. Reading ppl answer here I think that the best I can do is get a gtx 760, the fx-8320 and GA-970A-D3.

Do you think that in the future, something like 2 or 3 years, I can OC both the 8320 and the gtx760 to get a better performance?

If you can get the better motherboard in #4 (or put that CPU in #1 to lower the price), then that is probably your best choice.

Yes of course you could also get another 760 and go sli. But overclocking is never a bad idea once a processor starts to age a bit to make it more competitive to the newer stuff that comes out to replace it.

I think that the GA-970A-D3 would not support sli =/ I would have to buy a more expensive mobo. I think I may only overclock both the 760 and the 8320 as soon as I feel that it's not catching up anymore.

Do you think that the AMD FX-6300 is a good CPU? Wouldn't it leave any bottlenecks?

I've not used one myself, but I believe that the FX-6300 is a decent CPU; a much bigger improvement over the FX-4350 than the FX-8320 is over the FX-6300. For the money I think it is your best choice.

this is very good to know... So, I build this one also(config X) but it's a bit more expensive, but do you think it is worth it compared to the others?

.:CONFIG X:.

Processor: AMD AM3+ FX-8320 Black Edition

Mobo: GA-970A-D3

GPU: PNY GTX 770 Triple Fan 2GB, 256 bit, GDDR5

RAM: 2x4 = 8gb 1600Mhz DDR3

HD: HD 500GB SATA3 7200RPM

Powersupply: Fonte Aerocool Strike-X 600W PFC Active

TOTAL: U$1210,00

That Aerocool is built by Andyson, and it too has some cheap capacitors in it, although I didn't find any specific reviews claiming it's a bad unit. I think it will be okay if you make sure it stays cool, i.e. it is able to pull sufficient air through itself.
It is a shame your prices are as high as they are, but I believe this system should be able to play just about anything on "Good" (e.g. High or better) settings for at least a few years.
