Up for suggestions for my PC Part Picker build.

rikkk · Jul 8, 2015

I am planning on building a computer soon, and have made a PC part picker list in the mean time to have an idea of what I'll be needing.

I may be getting a r9 280x instead of a r9 280 if I have enough money.

CX is not too good. Changed with a much better PSU. Here is a review from a 750w CX. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&file=print&reid=416

Everything else is decent except I would get a better mobo. One that is ATX sized instead of small. ASUS or Gigabyte for a brand.

Get better PSU from Tier 1 or 2

Here you can see how much watts for which GPU

I would also change FX-6300 for i3 4160, because i3 beats FX-6300 in almost every game but if you plan to ostream or record gameplay than fx-6300 would be a good option

The cpu, motherboard, RAM, and psu should be changed.

I agree with CTurbo. Except there are some games that do not like "dual core" CPU's even with HT.

Thanks alot CTurbo! You did miss the cooler and the ram in your part list, but when I added them to the part picker [changed the ram to a G.skill ripjaws instead of crucials, if you suggest something else please comment again] it still will probably be worth since I heard intel CPU's are better bang for your buck. As for IntelTurtle respectively, thank you for telling me the CPU cooler comes with thermal paste, and I don't think the games I want to be playing will have any struggle with a dual core [rust, rising storm 2, fallout 4] unless they totally screw up the optimization for those games.

Then CTurbo gave you the best bet.

I hope you enjoy your new PC.

lol you don't need no stinking RAM!
The stock cooler would be just fine. You could always add one later if you feel the stock one is too noisy.
You could scrap the optical drive and/or fan if you need to make it cheaper.
