Hello there ! If you guys could give me tips or advice on my next pc build I would greatly appreciate it . :)


  • CPU : AMD FX-8320
    Motherboard : ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0
    Graphic card : ASUS R7265
    PSU : Modular PSU CX 600W, 80 Plus Bronze, 120mm
    Ram : 8 GB of DDR3-1600MHz Kingston Beast XMP 2x4GB
    HDD: Seagate 1TB HDD Desktop 64 MB SATAIII 7200rpm 2RZ

Total cost : around $823 -with shipping- in my country .

The pc will be used mainly for all kinds of games at 1080p , and will be up and running 24/7 .

ps:
Is it important that the motherboard and graphic card be from the same company ?

Depends what you do outside of gaming,
If it's only for gaming, there's not a big difference between the two, performance wise, however a better graphics card will make all the difference.
If however you want do do other processor intensive tasks, like rendering or data processing, by all means get the 8 core.

I would save around $ 40 and that will get me to r9 270 or 270x maybe , 770 is way of my budget

But I could wait an extra month and go for the 770 , But will it make a huge difference in 1080 p gaming at 60 refresh rate ?

I would disagre with the 6300, Unless this person wants 8 cores. Although the 8320 only goes up to 4GHz, you can easily overclock it.
As for the GPU, you can always upgrade it if you get some more money, but at this point in his system, he will be able to run BF4 between High and Ultra with 55+ FPS, if not more.

6300 has 6 cores, 8320 has 8.
The 270x is ok, but i'd not get anything below that with your budget.

The main reason I went with the 8320 is because its 8 cores and should be "faster" than 6300 , or am I not correct ?

the main purpose of this pc is gaming , but I would like to have decent performance outside of gaming as well if possible .

I see , so in normal pc tasks , there is no difference between the 6300 or 8320 .

So I should drop the 8320 and go for a better card , Maybe go with GTX 760 or R9 270x .
