£700 AMD gaming pc help needed!

ibox55 · Nov 30, 2013

I have recently decided to build a gaming pic with a budget of £700.
Here is my attempt.
Please tell me if it will work and if i can improve it in any way.
Thanks.

looks good on your video card see if the 7950/7970 in your price range or the 660-670 video cards. the 7950 and the other amd card will be slightly faster then the 270x.

The stock cooler on the CPU should work well in that case, so you can save a little money by eliminating the Performa cooler: Smorizio is right about the video cards and you can put that 13pounds towards a better video card. Game On!!

Go for it ! it'll rock! But again, you probably won't need the EVO cooler. Your choice, though. The build looks good.

I have included the cooler bcoz, u need to O.C ur fx6300 to avoid bottleneck with the hd7970. So,buy the cooler it's too important.
Thanks @ nostall

I have included the cooler bcoz, u need to O.C ur fx6300 to avoid bottleneck when paired with the hd7970. So,buy the cooler it's too important.
Thanks @ nostall

I don't think that that 6300 will bottleneck the 7970, but what the hell; cool it an make it go as fast as you can ! I love
hot-rodding uh, errr, overclocking. Glad to have helped. Don't forget to eventually choose a solution. Also, let us know how your build turns out.
UPDATE: I should know better then to write replies this late and after a long day at work. Sorry Sourdip, I just jumped in here thinking I was replying to inbox55. Will that 7970 actually be bottlenecked by a stock 6300? My wife's PC is running that CPU and I swear it is considerably faster then my 8 core 8120.

Yeah it will bottleneck a7970 until and unless you O.C it and the the fx6300 is better in gaming than the 8120.
To the O.P,buy an after market cooler like the Hyper 212 Evo and push it to at least 4.0-4.1 to avoid minimal bottlenecks.
