My AMD FX 6300 Build

hasswell · Oct 11, 2014

What can you say about my build?
I'm planning to use this for Gaming (Dota 2, NBA 2k15 or will try to play bf4) and some light photo/video editing and rendering. (PS6, Autocad, 3ds Max)
Any suggestions on how to save a little on the price?

EasyLover :

Would go with this build. If you want to spend a little less money on the gpu then grab a 280x. You'll be able to max out bf4 with the 970 or the 280x.

Also you should get 2 sticks of RAM rather than 1

Thank you for that build. i guess my MB is too pricey.. ehehe...

I think im gonna go for your build.. thanks

EasyLover · Oct 11, 2014

Glad to assist.

Shamar Holtz · Oct 11, 2014

MOBOs usually start around $44

hasswell · Oct 11, 2014

the reason why i choose the 1 stick ram is for future upgrade. i want to make it 8gb.

i guess the gtx 970 is much cheaper than the 280x.

gtx 970 = 349.99
280x = 367.98

Shamar Holtz · Oct 11, 2014

No....The 280x is about $50 cheaper

Stick with 970 and enjoy the excellent performance. I picked you point of future upgrade and that is why did not change the RAM.

Shamar Holtz · Oct 11, 2014

Waait! But y say the 970 is cheaper??? EasyLover is right, go with the 970, But why say the 970 would be cheaper? are you not in the US?

EasyLover · Oct 11, 2014

This can't be ascertained without knowing the exact model of 280x OP has checked.

hasswell · Oct 11, 2014
