CPU and GPU suggestions

Can a AMD FX-4300 Vishera 3.8GHz (4.0GHz) Quad-Core Desktop Processor and a EVGA GeForce GTX770 SuperClocked with EVGA ACX Cooler, 2GB GDDR5 256bit play new pc games?

TheUnknownPC · Mar 10, 2014

Intel-Core i5 4670K + EVGA GeForce GTX 760
A FX-4300 is a very weak Gaming CPU

Ahmadjon · Mar 10, 2014

Get stronger CPU at least FX-6300 and 970 chipset mobo to prevent bottlenecks!

rrod14 · Mar 10, 2014

The motherboard I currently have doesn't support a intel CPU.
I currently have a FX-4300 CPU.
I just want to upgrade my video card, and later I am going to upgrade my CPU to a FX-8350

rrod14 :

What mobo do you have?

TheUnknownPC · Mar 10, 2014

rrod14 :

Yes Id Suggest upgrading to atleast a FX-6300 Or if you can a 8320 to avoid bottlenecking

rrod14 · Mar 10, 2014

I decided to replace my motherboard, CPU, and GPU.
Can you guys suggest a cheap intel or AMD build without the memory, and case.
I want the build to play new pc games.

Could you also suggest a power supply that doesn't cost to much.
Do you think 8 gb of memory is enough or should I get more?

8GB is plenty for gaming!

rrod14 · Mar 10, 2014

Can I move the hard drive from my current computer to the new one?
I have windows 7 installed on it and I don't want to buy it again?

Ahmadjon · Mar 10, 2014

rrod14 :

Yes you can, but your SATA modes on your mobo and HDD should be same, if no it would cause a BSOD!

rrod14 · Mar 10, 2014

Could you suggest another build, but this time only use parts from amazon?

Ahmadjon · Mar 10, 2014

Yes wait a bit please!

Ahmadjon · Mar 10, 2014

You're welcome

Is it worth getting a gtx770 over a gtx760, and is a superclocked video card better?

Ahmadjon · Mar 10, 2014

rrod14 :

Yes it's worth getting GTX-770 over GTX-760 and superclocked version will give you few FPS in some games (1~5 FPS)

win7 is practically plug and play, just have to re install drivers, cant guarantee it working with you switching motherboard though, i'd recommend an fx8320 and a gtx770 because like hell you willl see a difference in gaming and multitasking with an i5 unless you run benchmarks and then it depends on the benchmarks you use. plus its cheaper , you will see a better fps increase with a 8320 and a 770 rather than a i5 and a 760, even if it takes more time buying the better graphics card then upgrading the cpu, if you intend on getting a gtx760 id stay with the fx4100 and overclock the cpu

Ahmadjon · Mar 10, 2014

cheapo gamer :

If he needs multitask he can get Xeon 1230 v3 at i5 price but without integrated video!
