Building budget gaming pc(only CPU)

krishnabhaskar · Nov 23, 2014

I3 4130 + GA h81-S1
or
Fx 6300 + Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
(I wont do overclocking because that need good motherboard which i cant effort)

RAM 4GB ddr3 kingston hyperx 1600mhz
PSU Corsair vs450W
GPU Zotac GTX 750 ti or Sapphire hd7770,

Cabinet coolermaster elite 344(?).

my monitor is 1600*900
I can max change budget by 50$(3000)

can i go fx6300 with good motherboard(?) +Sapphire 7770 or

with intel mob +gtx 750 ti?

any suggestions and modifications(7 days)?
I want to play all games with 25-30 fps.

I own an FX 6300 and personally I think that it's a great CPU for the price. It's fast and very future proof thanks to its 6 cores. I also own a 7770 and again I think it's a great GPU for the price. It doesn't max out games but at your resolution it will be able to play most games on high settings at 30+FPS. I am upgrading my card shortly to a GTX 970 due to the fact that I want to be able to play on ultra settings. If you can stretch your budget to a 750ti along with an FX 6300 then you'll have a pretty solid build for the price but a 7770 will also suffice.

Ty Computer__GUY for your suggestion. So in your case what is the best budget motherboard to overclock fx 6300.

I'm poor in overclocking concepts.

I own both AMD 6300 and AMD 7770 and it does a decent job on the games. The only component I would recommend upgrading is your PSU to an 500W Bronze 80+ Grade. (Corsair 500W is a good choice)

I would go with the i3. It performs better on the majority of games out there.

Rahim Mushfiq :

Rahim Mushfiq Ty for suggestion.If i go towards AMD i need good MB(overclocking) and PSU because AMD consumes more power. I can split that extra money (GTX 750 ti to AMD7770) to MB and PSU
now questions is what is best budget MB?

krishnabhaskar · Nov 23, 2014

RazerZ :

Ty for yor suggestion if i go with I3 less power and i will get GTX 750 ti. Now question is how far it(I3 4130 + H81 + GTX 750 ti) is comparable with fx 6300+ Gud overclocking motherboard +HD7770

krishnabhaskar :

No question it will perform better.

krishnabhaskar · Nov 23, 2014

RazerZ :

I'm also tending towards I3 side but peoples are saying fx6300 has 6 cores and future games are suitable to fx6300.

RazerZ · Nov 23, 2014

Games which can use multiple cores still perform better on the i3 compared to an overclocked FX 6300. Take Crysis 3 or Watchdogs for example. They still perform better on the dual core i3 with hyper threading.

But the major factor is the 750ti over the 7770. You will game MUCH better with the more powerful 750ti, and that makes the i3 combo the clear winner.

krishnabhaskar · Nov 23, 2014

RazerZ :

RazerZ accepted but let me look at other peoples point of view. I'm more interested towards I3 with better gpu compared to balancing AMD overclcoking concepts.

2 Options :
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P - This is an ATX board very reliable but since you've got a small case maybe :
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 - This even supports USB 3.0 and everything else with the build ... but maybe choose a better case ? It sounds silly spending attention on a case but it helps quite a lot. Corsairs make very good budget cases.

RazerZ · Nov 23, 2014

The people that own the 6300+ HD 7700 are going to skip over the i3/ 750ti because they own the equipment. If you want the best gaming rig get the i3 and 750ti.

Rahim Mushfiq · Nov 23, 2014

RazerZ :

I agree 750 Ti performs better than 7770 with the i3 combo.
Considering it is a budget build AMD should be the way to go for.

Rahim Mushfiq yes i will change case.But does these board have proper VRM's.I dont know what it mean.Peoples are saying proper vrm and cmos cooling required to overclock.

RazerZ · Nov 23, 2014

The i3 has around the same or better performance as the fx 6300 in gaming.

Here are some benchmarks I found of popular games... the i3 has either the same or better frame rate.

Intel is the way to go if he can have a GTX 750ti instead of the 7770 for the same price.

krishnabhaskar · Nov 23, 2014

Rahim Mushfiq :

But Rahim Mushfiq lets calculate money perspective.
i3(7300 rs)+ H81(3500)+GTX 750 ti(10200 lowest)+PSU(2150)=23950
fx6300(7100)+gud MB(5700)+HD7770(7100 lowest)+PSU(2650)=22550

Now what you say,not much difference 1500 INR..

Rahim Mushfiq · Nov 23, 2014

krishnabhaskar :

You sure you want to OC the CPU ? It already has 4.1GHz Turbo speed.
The motherboard I've recommended is not made for OC's and I really don't think you will see a difference on the performance but with the first motherboard you can OC to 4.6 GHz.
If you are going to OC you should focus more on the after-cooling for the CPU - Stock cooler for 6300 is not very good.
Just remember you got 4.1 GHz Turbo already....

krishnabhaskar · Nov 23, 2014

RazerZ :

Is this with over clocked fx6300 or without?

After adding everything together - If you can still afford to buy the 750 Ti and i3 - Go for it.

So you are suggesting no overclock required for 6300 to comapre with I3. Now the question fx6300+gtx 750 ti(no overclocking) or i3+ gtx 750 ti

RazerZ · Nov 23, 2014

krishnabhaskar :

Some of them are w/o the overclock but it still doesn't matter. Look at the Watchdogs benchmark with the 6350 ( an overclocked 6300).

Computer__GUY · Nov 23, 2014

RazerZ :

I agree.

krishnabhaskar · Nov 23, 2014

Computer__GUY :

ok RazerZ,Computer__GUY.
I will go and check prices of both amd rig(no overlock so Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 and hd7770) and Intel with gtx 750 ti if price margin is greater like 4 to 5k i will go with AMD if it is low like 2-3k i will go with INTEL
