Next-gen equivalent PC

George Lazu · Sep 8, 2014

Hey, i want to buy parts to make a next-gen pc, and i had a list of parts but amazon shipment is very expensive for my country.

So i made something similar to that list:

I want to know if these two parts are compatible with each other and if they can run a next-gen game [like AC unity]

So, will it work?

If you are getting a dedicated graphics card you will want to avoid the AMD APUs, they are nice if you want a home theatre PC or want to do some really light gaming but as a stand alone CPU they are not the best.

Compliment your GPU with something like the 8320 or 8350 or and intel i5. If you need to save some money look into the 6000 series AMD CPUs or the intel i3 processor. Tom's usually does these monthly releases of the best gaming CPU and GPU for the money.

The thing is i don't have money to buy the graphics card along with the rest, so for a month or two, i'm gonna rely on integrated card. So, is that AMD processor good enough for a next-gen game on ultra settings [ or at least high ]

George Lazu :

The AMD APU is not strong enough to play games and high/ultra. Your better off using the integrated graphics that come with a stronger CPU while you wait for your dedicated GPU. You will not be able to game very well but you will have a better experience once you have your system completely built. If it was me I would just wait until you have the money for everything, prices change every day so you might be able to get a better deal on the parts you are looking at now once you have the money for everything.

What country are you from?

Look again at the post, i added a pcpartpicker link.

And the integrated GPU is only a temporary solution. I do not want it for gaming. I am going to buy a GPU for next-gen gaming.

I have an AMD FX 4130 and it runs everything (except Crysis 3, but I think that's more of a video card thing) on the highest settings. CPU isn't your biggest concern when it comes to running games, it's your GPU you want to get the good stuff.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1643019/guide-international-users-links-part-stores.html This has a couple local places, it might be cheaper.

Do not buy a r7 240 2gb. It is far too weak to even use 2gb and is similar performance to the integrated. The apu would probably be fine but you'll need a better gpu for gaming.

burdenbound · Sep 8, 2014

If you are going to stick with the APU, I recommend getting two 4GB sticks of RAM to utilize dual channel. On top of that get the fastest RAM your motherboard and budget will allow, the APUs really take advantage of fast RAM.

k1114 · Sep 8, 2014

It's not just apus, any igpu takes advantage of faster ram. But with a dgpu, that money would be wasted.

So everything is good except the GPU? I am concerned because PS4 for example uses a 1.7GHz CPU which is low, but it has 8 cores/ 8 threads. The CPU i chose has indeed twice the speed, but half the cores.

Can you recommend me a good gpu [preferably $150 max]

You can't really compare the current consoles to the hardware you are looking at for your computer. Game developers have the luxury of knowing the exact hardware they need to make their game for and can take their time to optimize their game around it. Don't assume that if you build a system with the same specs as a console you will achieve the same performance.

k1114 · Sep 8, 2014

Well I'd say to go with the best you could afford which would be a 270. But at least go with a 260x. Change that psu too, I wouldn't trust it.

In that case i guess i'm gonna have to wait for some system requirements and build my machine to fit the requirements.

I'll tell you this, a good budget build that will run any games coming out right now is what I actually have on mine. It's not crazy high end but it runs new games on highest settings

FX4130
8GB (2x 4GB) Vengeance 1866 MHz
R9 270x

And that should work really well for you. Total build with those components and an ASUS M5 motherboard should run you just a little more than a PS4 or Xbox One.

I'm not sure about this next part but I think I read somewhere that the R9 cards automatically overclock to the max of their cooling capacity. I have my stuff on a custom water loop so that might have an effect? Not sure.
