Jan Keiffer Fernandez · Dec 1, 2013

Hi guys! im building my first budget gaming pc. i need your sugegestion.

Im planning on i3 3220 with GTX 650 Ti
8gb kingston
1tb Seagate

or Amd A8 5600k with HD 7850?

Please Help me guys. my budget is $600.

why you wanna buy an apu processor which is have own integrated graphic card, and pair it with dedicated graphic card..?

get a better solution..
fx6300+any am3+ board+7850 is much faster and reasonable..

the a8 5600k is an apu which is a cpu and gpu combined wouldnt work with the 7850 i believe

I paired an APU with a dedicated card, it is just fine....

FX 6300 is best in this price range. The i3 3220 is better than the A8 5600k when paired with a video card.

APU means office computer, for people with only light gaming..
Not intended to heavy gaming..
APU is a weak processor..compared with fx series in the same price.
and why you wanna pay APU processor with an integrated graphic card..but you'll not use it..?

Even the $85 Athlon x4 760k would be better than the A8

Jan Keiffer Fernandez · Dec 1, 2013

Okay guys. Thanks for your response.

Guys what if an i3 3220 with Amd r9 270x and 8gb ram? Can it play Crysis 3? or any present games?

CTurbo · Dec 1, 2013

Yes a i3 3220 is perfectly capable of playing EVERY game today provided you have a good enough video card, and the R9 270x is a solid card.

Jan Keiffer Fernandez :

well, today games is multicore optimized..
i3 3220 is a dual core processor..

yes, it can play crysis 3 or present games..
but i3 processor will hold your graphic card performance..

like i said before, it still better buy fx 6300 + 7870/r270x, than i3 +7870/270x..

well, something like this..

for $140, is ridiculous price for an asus 7870..

What if an i3 3220 with gtx 650 ti boost?

Jan Keiffer Fernandez · Dec 2, 2013

Because I only have 500- $650 budget.

CTurbo · Dec 2, 2013

But you can get a FX 6300 for the price of the i3 3220

The i3 is better at older games, but the FX is better at newer games

actually the apu's use the same processors fx does they just have a gpu shoved inside. skip the 5 series and go for either a 6300 or an a10 6 series they will be about the same in straight gaming, or there is always the i3.
