Possibly a better build?

This is my build I was wandering if any of you could possibly make a build that could perform the same for the same price or outperform it for the price. Thanks in advance!

Also just for personal preference could you find red parts. This is not needed but it would be truly awesome if you could do that!

I suggest getting a better PSU for more headroom and what not.

Athlon X4 750K is basically a A10-5800K without integrated graphic so its better than the A8

OMG get the G2358
dont get APU if you have strong video card
and get a better psu
ans make sure your mobo is for OCing

The g3258 + overclocking motherboard would cost more than the a8 or the athlon x4 + overclocking capable motherboard.

PSU should be bumped up a bit though.

pierrerock · Aug 7, 2014

there are actual cheap motherboard which, with bios update, can support a G3258 + overclocking like a MSI H81 P33 (aroud 50$) But there is no way to know if the motherboard will come with a bios new enough to support the G3258

If you were to buy a motherboard which doesn't have the bios for a G3258, you couldn't even use your computer. You would have to go to a custom computer shop and pay for them to update your bios. Or find a friend with a LGA1150 MOBO which is supported by your actual bios .... big risk there. And this is why i went for AMD.

@piere
ok guys

i thought he can raise his budget for just a little

pierrerock · Aug 7, 2014

If he was to raise his budget, a better video card would give more performance per dollar. But yeah a G3258 is better.

In response to pierrerock I was going to originally get the 750k with this build but thought about getting an APU instead because I would be buying parts a little at a time. But I guess if the 750k is that much better I shall go with it

ObviousProblems · Aug 7, 2014

Also how would the build you put together compare to capabilities that mine would?

pierrerock · Aug 7, 2014

in term of performance, difference would't be so big. A8 5600K is a good CPU for money. It would be slightly outperformed by X4 750K. You could also go for a X4 760K which is equivalent to a A10 6800K for 5$ more.

The real main difference is that the motherboard i suggest will allow you to overclock and get better performances if you ever want to try in overclocking.
