The FX 6300 does not have onboard video so without a video card you can't run it. For a gaming use system you want to have a decent video card, Radeon 7770/250X would be the lowest you want for modern games, even then some of them you will be playing on Low settings.

Power supply you want something in the 400 + watt range for a lower end gaming system for lower price EVGA 100-W1-0430-KR 430W is good.

If at all possible go Intel quadcore (like an i5-4460). There is almost no scenario where it won't be markedly better.

mayank12388 · Oct 11, 2014

Thank you very much for your reply but i want to stick with the amd fx 6300...
And also im on a tight budget so i cant afford 7770/250x but can you please tell me that if amd ati radeon hd 5450 will fit good with amd fx 6300 to play games like...
The amazing spider man 1 and 2
left for dead 2
nfs games
call of duty modern warfare and others
battle field any version
please reply.....

my specs which im going to buy are
Asus m5a78l/usb 3
Amd fx 6300
a 15 inch led screen

And thanks for giving suggestion about PSU

Pakonater · Oct 11, 2014

No The 5450 is meant to play movies and thats it.
Save up for a gtx 750 or buy a used gtx 650.

mayank12388 · Oct 11, 2014

Well i respect your reply respected PAKONATER ... Once i thought that. Can YOU tell me please that if i buy a 6xxx series amd graphics card than a 2gb ram willbe sufficient????
thank you

Pakonater · Oct 11, 2014

Do you mean 2gb of gpu ram or 2gb of system ram.
Get a 6870/6850 or the one below

mayank12388 · Oct 11, 2014

I meant 2gb of system ram

Pakonater · Oct 12, 2014

4gb as a minimum whats your budget.

sora · Oct 12, 2014

jeffredo :

This, it outperforms the FX-6300 and uses less power.

mayank12388 · Oct 12, 2014

well i have a budget around 2000Rs-25000Rs ..so can anyone suggest me a good gaming pc including amd fx series processor
and also from snapdeal and flipkart..THANK YOU VERY MUCH

If you cant afford a video card or 4 gig RAM for a gaming system, wait till you can or look into getting used parts.

Here is a sample budget build, you can likely replace the CPU with the FX 6300, change motherboards to an AMD based one and lower the card to a 7770/250X from the 270 there and still have a decent system. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-budget-gaming-pc,3943.html

I also noticed you are planning on getting a 15" LCD, that is absolutely horrible, a 19" can't be that much more and should be the minimum size for a gaming system. 15" screens are tiny for destkop use.

You may be able to get an AMD A10 based system and skip the video card, that would be OK for lower resolution and settings for almost any game. The A10 video speed is about the same as the old nVidia 8800GT gaming card.

4 gb ram
1 tb hdd
Lg optical drive.....
amd radeon hd 5450
and at last i want to buy an intex 450w psu..will it be sufficient. thats my question.. please reply

rolandzhang3 · Oct 15, 2014

Don't get the 5450, it's a low end card only good for video playback

At the very least you should try to fit in a 7770 into your budget

http://www.snapdeal.com/product/sapphire-hd-7770-1-gb/1906167230#bcrumbSearch:7770

A 400W Seasonic PSU would be a nice choice, never buy a cheap PSU, crappy units can blow and take out other components with them

http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-ss400bt-psu/p/itmdfbeqezgmgggf?pid=PSUDFBEPQB2ZCCMS&otracker=from-search&srno=t_19&query=power+supply+units&ref=d4901985-f7a5-4ea0-ad00-b069726ae2d5

If you have absolutely no choice since your budget is that tight then you might consider dropping down to a lower end CPU (to upgrade later) and fitting in a decent GPU in that build, or you could keep the 6300 and go with a lower end GPU right now :S

The FX-6300 is good to go for just about any game but you can't skimp on the most important part for games, the GPU

mayank12388 · Oct 15, 2014

will a corshair 450w psu is good enough

rolandzhang3 · Oct 15, 2014

It should be but cheaper Corsair units aren't good choices I'm afraid.

mayank12388 · Oct 15, 2014

I just got a good cabinet for asus m5a97 R2.0 but iam confused that it will be fit or not also the form factor is not written so please anyone can tell me that it is compatible or not..
