Best build for under 350$ without a graphics card?

Beezy · Dec 22, 2013

does that mean you HAVE a GPU you plan on using? or the graphics card has to be built into the CPU? (integrated graphics)

Check out the "Kill your console" series from the Tek Syndicate on Youtube:

There's the video for you

This computer he builds is around $350. He's got ones for the $400, $450, $600, and $700 range

Good luck to you!

TekSyndicate builds the worst builds. Seriously, they are not ideal builds in my opinion. I like his episodes of INBOX.EXE and THE-TEK and other Interviews he takes.

But his builds and benchmarks are far from good. Logan cannot be trusted for benchmarks and builds.

I lost trust on him when he was recommending a 7950 with the Athlon 750k which would be a huge bottleneck. Also he once used a Cooler Master i700 which is a bad PSU in one of his builds. Hence I don't recommend his builds.

He is a funny guy but stay away from his builds. I don't like his part selection.

Bassim Ansari :

This is a good build, but unless the OP has a GPU he plans on using, the FX-6300 doesn't graphics card built in like the A10 build. So while the fx 6300 is better, it needs a GPU to display on the monitor.

If you are really sure that you want a build without a GPU, then this is the one to go for :

BUILD 1 : Without a GPU for gaming.

BUILD 2 : With a GPU for a little more money.
If you want a gaming build for a little extra money, then this build is awesome. The 7750 GPU is way more powerful than the Inbuilt graphics of the APUs.

Beezy :

True. AMD builds were never my strong point.

But he could easily pick up a 6450 for 40 odd dollars and still be in 350 dollar range.

And he gets a good system too.

Anyhow just my two cents.

Sangeet Khatri · Dec 22, 2013

What is this build for? Gaming, Web Surfing? What is this for? You need to tell that.
