in minecraft, you can max out the settings and get probly 100+ fps. but, i would not overclock with that psu. 500watts isnt enough for an amd cpu and gpu and overclocking.

Danbuscus25 :

with recording? 100+ fps? and im not too worried about overclocking it .4 ghz IBUYPOWER will notify my if they cant have a stable overclock with the psu

Danbuscus25 · Mar 5, 2014

yes, with recording. at least 60fps. i have an athlon ii x2 270 3.4ghz dual core and a radeon hd 6670, and i can max out minecraft with between 40-80 fps (no AA)

Danbuscus25 :

ok thanks

Danbuscus25 · Mar 5, 2014

no problem

have fun, and dont fall in the lava XD

Danbuscus25 :

This computer, heavily overclocked, will come no where close to 500w. It will barely use 200w at FULL load.

The GPU is VERY low end.

tiny voices :

the very low end made me feel good lol not but i did a build with my specs on pc part picker and it estimarted about 350 watts

tiny voices · Mar 5, 2014

It will not pull 350w. It will barely pull 200 at FULL load. That GPU is bottom end and doesn't even need a PCI power cable which means it can't pull more than 50w. Typically an r7 250 pulls 42w under FULL load. Add that to the CPU MAX load of 150w (including a VERY large HEAVY overclock), and you don't even have 200w at 100% system load.

Are you trying to play anything besides minecraft on this computer?

tiny voices :

ill except your word considering you have like 600 badges lol and are a moderator so thanks for that and i will see when i get it how bad my gpu is, i figured since it is newer it would be pretty decent, and how good do you think it is/how many fps in minecraft while recording with obs

Dexter Lawhun · Mar 5, 2014

minecraft and possibly call of duty world at war

tiny voices · Mar 5, 2014

In minecraft you will probably be able to stay locked at 60fps while recording (won't want to play at more than that due to screen tearing).

Other newer demanding games will barely run at lowest settings at 1080p though.

tiny voices · Mar 5, 2014

Call of duty World at War will probably run smooth at medium settings at 60fps at 1080p as it is an older game.

Dexter Lawhun · Mar 5, 2014

ok thank you for your help

Danbuscus25 · Mar 5, 2014

Your Recommended Minimum Power Supply is 400 Watts
http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx
put in his specs, assuming he has 1 dvd/cd drive and 1 hdd drive, it recommends atleast 400watt.

tiny voices · Mar 5, 2014

No problem. For comparison your GPU is very slightly worse than an hd7750.

tiny voices · Mar 5, 2014

Danbuscus25 :

This is SUPER inflated. His actual usage will be below 200w.

A DVD drives uses only a few watts, as does a HDD, and fans use 1w or less each.

400w would be plenty, but his 500w unit (although not the best quality), will allow him to get a better GPU.

Dexter Lawhun · Mar 5, 2014

im having maximum case fans in an nzxt source 210 and 3hdds at 7200rpm and a water cooled cpu with 2 fans on it for push pull setup

tiny voices · Mar 5, 2014

You will have NO need for those. This computer will not run hot AT ALL. A single front intake fan in addition to the watercooler as an exhaust would be more than enough. Your GPU it too low end to make any real heat.

The HDDs will probably use 10w TOTAL at most.

Dexter Lawhun · Mar 5, 2014

tiny voices :

ok thanks the fans that i beleive will fit in it are 6 counting cpu fans and when i selected parts it was either no fans or maximum fans and buy the way im not building it just wandering about parts and framerate it will handle

tiny voices · Mar 5, 2014

I would NOT get max fans. It WILL DEFINITELY sound like a leaf blower and they will not keep ANYTHING cooler than a single front intake fan will.

You want smooth airflow not air blowing like crazy. Paired up with the liquid cooler, this will be a LOUD computer. Those fans are a BIG waste.

It will play minecraft at 60fps but other demanding games will struggle at low settings at 1080p.

Dexter Lawhun · Mar 5, 2014

oh well if i upgrade the psu one day and get better and bigger gpu they might come in handy

tiny voices · Mar 5, 2014

No, even then a front intake, top exhaust, and rear exhaust is all ANY computer needs to stay perfectly cool. People ALWAYS think they need more fans than they do. Truth is a computer with 3 fans like I just explained will stay at the exact same temps as one with 8 fans. It is about thermodynamics. Once you have air moving in and out, the speed at which it moves is negligible as air is a good heat dissipator. Also, sometimes more fans can actually cause a computer to heat up by blowing all over the place and not smoothly letting air out the case. They can actually trap hot air in the case. I would only use 3 fans in your computer at most. And, only the top exhaust and front intake will be of use if the radiator for the water cooler is on the back as an exhaust. Anything else will do nothing but make noise.

Also remember those prebuilt companies use VERY low quality cheap fans. They will make ALOT of noise.

Dexter Lawhun · Mar 5, 2014

true about that one i will probably take some fans out and install them on my grandpas old crappy emachines still runs but very bad and hot has one fan in it now

tiny voices · Mar 5, 2014

That is probably a good idea!

framerate on my new build?
