8320 with 750 ti & ASUS M5A97 R 2.0

arpitsoni90s · Jun 30, 2014

Hi,
currently I have this specs
♦ CPU:-Intel Core i3-540
♦ GPU:-Zotac 750 Ti 2GB DDR5
♦ RAM:-Transcend 2*4 GB DDR3-1333
♦ HDD:- 500GB (Seagate) 7200RPM ST3500413AS
♦ Motherboard:- Intel DH55TC
♦ PSU:- Seasonic Eco 500W
♦ Monitor:-Acer 20" inch LED 1600*900 60Hz

I play battlefield 4 with this rig &
currently I am playing multiplayer with minimum 30 to 50fps on 64 player server. I set my resolution to 1600*900 and all settings to low & I know my current cpu n mobo is bottle necking with this GPU. So, I am now going to change cpu n mobo

My budget is 350$ & in Indian RS. 21000-22000

I have checked my GPU's performance @my friends home and he owns following specs

♦ CPU:- AMD 8320
♦ GPU:-Zotac 750 Ti 2GB DDR5
♦ RAM:- Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10)
♦ HDD:- 931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162 ATA Device (SATA)
♦ Motherboard:- Gigabyte GA-B85-D3H
♦ PSU:- Antec 650W
♦ Monitor:-Acer 19" inch LED 1400*900 60Hz

So, I have checked bf4 on 64 player in metro server with explosives on ultra settings & was getting 40-70fps. So I thought I should get the same cpu n mobo which my friend have. then I got doubt in my mind my RAM is 1333mhz and hdd is 16mb cache & my friend has 1600mhz ram & hdd with 64mb cache also good thing is we both have 7200rpm.. so how big difference does it make and is this ram nd hdd increase any fps in game?

If you guys think this wont make any big difference then I will go buy same processor but for motherboard I am thinking to get ASUS M5A97 R2.0 and will also buy cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212X

f4 is cpu and gpu dependant.

3400 rupees

all withing ur budget

It is because of that CPU. Your CPU is easily reaching 100%, forcing your GPU down. What is your GPU usage? Also, tell your buddy to get dual channel RAM. He needs to follow in your footsteps

. You did a good job with that system, but I would upgrade your CPU to maybe an i5-2500. http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-2500-Quad-Core-Processor-Cache/dp/B004FA8NNW

arpitsoni90s · Jun 30, 2014

why 6300? @iceclock & what abt my HDD and RAM?

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

your funny andrew if you noticed its a socket 1156 mobo and the processor you recommanded is a socket 1155 niceone.

no point in upgrading his cpu on his plateform its a dead end.

the upgrade path i recommand is best for his budget

arpitsoni90s · Jun 30, 2014

my gpu usage is 50-60%

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

well i can get you a 8320 if u want but barely fits in ur budget your ram and hard-drive are fine.

2800 rupees a bit over budget but works good my friend your ram and hard-drive are fine sir

Andrew Buck · Jun 30, 2014

Oh, derp. I forgot that those were different sockets

I am tired.

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

sleep is good my friend or caffeine we works best

arpitsoni90s · Jun 30, 2014

@iceclock why 6300? & what abt my current HDD and RAM are they good?

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

i looked at your budget and u see i posted a better solution and your ram and hdd are fine

ScrewySqrl · Jun 30, 2014

1333 vs 1600 is goiing to be a minor difference. 1-3 fps slower at worst

Andrew Buck · Jun 30, 2014

iceclock :

Yeah, literally just woke up. Also, not many people use first gen core products anymore, so I have not dealt with them in a while. http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-Processor-LGA1156-I7-860BOX/dp/B002KQ5KE8 is a good CPU.

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

guess that works but thats like 8000 rupees+shipping not worth it to op since hes in india

Andrew Buck · Jun 30, 2014

The shipping won't be too bad, not more than $20.

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

regardless just saying why spend half his budget on 1 outdated processor when he spends double that gets a faster and better cpu and motherboard and hyper 212+ cooler

up to op but seems more logical

Andrew Buck · Jun 30, 2014

iceclock :

Yes, if he does that, that is a good idea, but buying a new mobo, cpu, and cooler is still pretty expensive if he wants the same gaming experience as his friend there. You couldn't get much for that. The i5 that I suggested is fine for gaming.

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

also thats used not new depends if op wants new or old parts and also the 870 heats more than the 8320

im sticking with my recommandation op choose whats he thinks is best

Andrew Buck · Jun 30, 2014

iceclock :

8320 would be a good choice for this build, but if he wants the cheapest upgrade with other space for maybe an SSD, buying an i5 would work.

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

yes this is true except the question still remains does he want a used processor?

Andrew Buck · Jun 30, 2014

iceclock :

That's true, but he has no other room for upgrades like an SSD.

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

true but he doesnt really need an ssd drives. only thing good is faster program loading and such but doesnt help fps

Andrew Buck · Jun 30, 2014

iceclock :

BF4 is pretty competitive to get those vehicles at the beginning of the match. SSD vs No SSD - the difference between starting in a vehicle and starting on foot.

arpitsoni90s · Jun 30, 2014

no ssd is not in my budget and I have one question guys this mobo will fit in my current CAbinet I have a local VIP brand one.... here is picture of that http://prntscr.com/3xze6p

& yes 8320 is in my budget

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

that should be fine

if u require more help lmk
