Super Budget Gaming Rig $250 (Without Graphics and HDD)

Bhavneet Pannu · Dec 3, 2014

Today I'm building a gaming rig for my cousin. I own a HHD and a Graphics card. Ati 5870. Will the Athlon x4 860k work with MSI A55M-E33 without a bios update? Also how is my build?

The 860K has 'Steamroller' cores and will not work on your motherboard -- you need to either purchase a 760K or an FM2+ motherboard.

I re-did it to accommodate higher quality parts and a better CPU

Question about your build. How does an Intel I3 perform? I got an other friend who wants me to build him a computer. (So many people) His budget is $400 without a case. I can go over to $420. He wants to play BF4, Minecraft, Indie games. What would be the best processor for him. For this build, Could you use the USA prices with only amazon?

I use a I3 and I could never be happier, it is a really powerful line, I use the I3 4130 and I am super impressed. I am going to get a I7 soon for streaming and such, but this I3 has handled heavy gaming(BF4, EVOLVE, etc.)

As well. it stays cooler in games than my old Phenom Build.

I use the stock cooler and I only go up to about 54c on Load and I get idle temps on 30-33 c
