Hey Guys, i'm building a budget pc and i've this configuration so far...
CPU: AMD FX-6300
COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
MEMORY: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 4GB DDR3-1600
STORAGE: Seagate barracuda (ST1000DM003) 1TB
PSU: Corsair Builder cx500 500W 80+ Bronze
CASE: Raidmax ATX-249B (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case

VIDEO CARD: ???
Well as i said i'm really tight on budget and i'm not sure about the cheap and best graphics card for this config.
I just need it for some office work and play entry or mid level games.
Or will this system work if i don't go with a GPU for a month or so....
please help.. thanks.. :)
 
That mobo doesn't have onboard video so it won't work a minute without a GPU... Go to the Toms Article to get a good idea for the best GPU for your budget

If you need time to save up for a good GPU, you could get a cheapo for as low as $30.00 to run the computer in the meantime. Or replace the mobo for one with onboard video.

well true but what i meant was that if your having extended gaming sessions(over 2 hrs) 5-7 days a week its not that good and wont last long now if you weren't gaming it wouldnt matter really.

So can you guys please suggest me some good PSU in that range of price because i can't go for xfx as i can't find it in my country. and i've also heard that XFX does not provide warranty as it has been taken over by some other company..

And please suggest me some good on board MOBO as well for my config...
Thanks :)

Well i'm in India and i do not get everything as well.. :(
Guys could you please suggest me a mobo with integrated graphics for fx 6300 because i'm on a real tight budget.and please sugest the one which supports GPU which i'll put when i"ve money. thanks
 

you cant afford a r9 270? if not the only cpu with intergrated graphics is a intel cpu so i guess you could get a i3. sorry indies dont get anything either :(
 

For a AM3+ motherboard to have integrated graphics, it has to be one with the AMD 760 chipset which only supports lower speed 1333Mhz RAM by default.

Any motherboard with the AMD 970 chipset which supports 1600Mhz and 1866 Mhz RAM by default, does not include integrated graphics, so if you want one of these, you have to include a low end, low priced PCIe x16 GPU to use the computer while you have the money to buy a better GPU.
