Newegg combo any good?

dodron1324 · Feb 9, 2014

Was looking at FX 6350 and the only combo I could find was this, don't know how great the graphics card is or if its worth the price, need advice as well as some other components to go with it if possible. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1469841

or should I upgrade and just go with this combo from tiger direct http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8564588&pagenumber=2&RSort=1&csid=ITD&recordsPerPage=5&body=REVIEWS#CustomerReviewsBlock

The GPU in the newegg bundle is good for high settings in all modern games and games 1+ years old will probably max.

dodron1324 · Feb 9, 2014

if I got the gpu and put it with the tigerdirect bundle would that be a good idea?

tiny voices · Feb 9, 2014

The PSU in the tiger direct bundle is not great. I would not get that bundle unless you replace the PSU with a higher quality unit.

Not a great PSU either, better, but not great. Stick with Antec, XFX, Corsair (not CX), Seasonic.

dodron1324 · Feb 9, 2014

This is getting frustrating, I can't find a decent bundle or kit that won't rape me on shipping and will work.

tiny voices · Feb 9, 2014

Yes, you are way better off building your self from scratch. No bundles.

dodron1324 · Feb 9, 2014

I try, but still can never figure out what mobo to go with or graphics and everything. I still cant figure out whether to go with fx 6350 or 8350. since the i5 4670k is a little on the pricey side.

187Flatliner · Feb 9, 2014

whats your budget? what are you using this system for mainly? this will help all the guru's on here get you want you want for the best price.

dodron1324 · Feb 9, 2014

Budget i'm trying to keep with in reason and have it be around $800-900 (CAD)

Operating system isn't really something i'm worried about. Keyboard and mouse I have.

I'm skeptical whether a system can even be built for this much that can run Bf4 or games much like that.

which is why I was aiming for the 6350 for the price.

This will easily max all modern games no problem.

dodron1324 · Feb 9, 2014

If I swapped the 770 for this http://products.ncix.com/detail/asus-geforce-gtx-760-directcu-61-85679-1396.htm would it work?

tiny voices · Feb 9, 2014

Yes, it won't max all games, instead it will play them at high as the 760 is not as powerful as the 770.

dodron1324 · Feb 9, 2014

I ordered all of it thank you, I was just curious am I going to need a better cpu cooler then the stock?

tiny voices · Feb 9, 2014

Nope, the stock cooler will be perfectly fine unless you decide to overclock.

dodron1324 · Feb 9, 2014

Alright, well thank you very much, I hate to see such a large chunk leave the bank account all at once hah but i'm sure we all do.

tiny voices · Feb 9, 2014

It should be a great computer!

187Flatliner · Feb 9, 2014

it is a great deal of money to spend, but when you get finished and you sit back (as your waiting for the os to load) you'll think to yourself and say it was all worth it.

dodron1324 · Feb 12, 2014

if I was overclocking would a simple water cooler do?

tiny voices · Feb 12, 2014

I would not get a cheap water cooler they cost more and perform worse that average air coolers. Get a Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo for sure.

dodron1324 · Feb 13, 2014

As well now the the graphics and psu are here it says the graphics requires a min of 600w and the psu is 550

tiny voices · Feb 13, 2014

No, the GPU will use MAX 205w. The say 600w for people who buy junk PSUs. Your build even highly overclocked will not come anywhere close to 550w. No problem.
