Is this a good Gaming Config and what can I do to save some bucks

darkcloud1990 · Jul 25, 2014

Hi everyone first of all I wanna thank everyone from Toms hardware for helping me understand about gaming PC and its components. Finally I selected my Budget Gaming PC Config.

processor: AMD FX 6300.

Mobo : Asus M5a 97 R2.0 or ausus M5a 78 LM USB3 or gigabyte ga-78lmt-usb3 or gigabyte ga 970a ds3. Please let me know which one is better and future proof. I want to save some money.

Ram : Corsair Vengance DDR3 4gb. (How about Kingston Hyperx)?

PSU : Cosair Vs500.

Hard Drive: WD caviar blue 1tb.

Cabinet : Antec X1 gaming cabinet.

Disk Drive: Any cheap .

GPU : R7 260x.( Shall I go for the MSI r7 260x or Xfx R7 260x? or which brand will be best. I like MSI bcoz it is OC)

Please help me if I can make any changes in this config also help me where I can save some bucks. Please help me with the good motherboard and GPU brand. I going to build this on 2nd August. keep in mind I am on a very limited budget.

Your replies are greatly appreciated. Thank you...

The Asus m5A97 R2.0 is the best of those motherboards. But if you can, get a 990fx chipset motherboard instead.

Get 2 x 4gb ram instead

The VS500 is not a certified power supply. Get a Seasonic 520, XFX550 or Antec HCG 520M instead.

Get the MASI R7 260x

Ok. thx for the reply, how about Corsair Vs 550 PSU?

i7Baby · Jul 26, 2014

None of the VS are certified. Get a 500W power supply from tiers 1, 2a or 2b of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html eg Seasonic 520, XFX550 or Antec HCG 520M

Thx for the info. also I am not getting the MSI version from local dealer. He has only XFX . will this be okay? or will it make a big differnce?

Where are you? Can't you use newegg, amazon, micro center, best buy or ncix?

darkcloud1990 · Jul 27, 2014
