I am in need of a Gaming Computer

AnotherSloth · Jul 20, 2015

Hello there, I am in need of a gaming computer. I have 500-600 dollars to spend. I can go over 600 if its really worth it. I'd like it to be able to play some new title games. Thanks

Do you need an OS?

Couldn't he scale back on the PSU, because that card doesn't need that much power and it will save him money, and he may need an OS. I think the FX-6350 is a pretty good CPU, a lot cheaper and good enough to not bottleneck.

That PSU is the cheapest PSU I can recommend. Anything lower wattage is more expensive, that I can recommend.

Also, it is not even close compared to the i5. For gaming, it will make a big difference and there is no comparison between them.

This is a comparison between the i5 and an FX-6350. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4590-vs-AMD-FX-6350 I know people with the FX-6300 and they have no issues with their FPS. and getting a better GPU will more than make up for that extra couple fps the i5 will give it. And even if he doesn't get a better GPU, it will save him money and not make a big of an fps difference to make a big deal.

CPUBoss is never a place to base information off of. If you want to base your info of them, then look at performance per dollar. THEY ARE THE SAME! SO by that logic, the i5 is better.

Generally, games dont use 6 cores. It is better to have a less cores and better performance with each of them. It also wont just make gaming better, but general usage.

Also, AMD chipset is dead, there will be no more CPU for that chipset. Intel chipset can be used for a while (as the new skylakes will run on h97 with BIOS updates)
