Which build is better for medium gaming?

xCardinals7x · May 13, 2014

I don't know which one to go with. I would most likely go with the fx 6300 build rather than the 760k build.

I want to play DayZ Standalone, Farcry3, COD, BF3/4, Skyrim, etc. Would they play on medium settings? ALSO, would the r7 260x bottleneck the CPU I choose? Thanks

xCardinals7x :

The FX 6300 is the better gaming cpu. Go with that build. Also I would recommend grabbing an 8 gig set of ram, not 4gb.

Yeah I planned on getting 2x4. Other than that, will it run without lag?

I'm not sure how tight your budget is but if you can go up to $500 then this would be better:

I went with Amazon and Newegg as the suppliers, you should use at least 2-3 different sites to get the best prices.
