Medium power com?

grrsona · Aug 29, 2014

I have a msi r9 270 gaming gpu. Im looking for a decent 4-5oo dollar com to put it in. I was thinking of buying one of costco or walmart. Anyone have suggestions / links to solid desktops that could handle the 270?

What do you think of building it yourself? If you're willing to do it, do you need an OS?

RazerZ :

I could build it myself, but I figured it would be t expensive to buy separate parts for only a medium power com.

Actually it would be cheaper. I'll post a build later.

Thankyou so much,
I dont have really any experience building a computer. Are there any helpful (accurate) guides online?
Im also not ery competent with cpus. Is the FX-6300 a more recent cpu? And when paired with the rest of the parts and the 270 could it last me a few more years of solid gaming?

There are tons of videos on youtube on how to build a pc, just search for it. The 270 should last you for a few more years.

The FX 6300 was released two years ago, but it's still powerful today and overall it's the best cpu around $100.

I just got a new graphics card, and putting the system back together after breadboarding it took me like five minutes. It's really easy to build a pc.
