Hello there, I'm inching closer to being able to get my very first rig and I need help because for the life of me, I cannot tell the difference between anything based on that seemingly random string of letters and numbers in their names.
I know the currency exchange rate isn't really a good way to gauge a different market, but I though I'd add that ?40, 000 is approximately 835USD. That's the ball park I'm planning to play around on.
Since I'm a complete and utter noob to this, I used this list from Back2Gaming. I also wanna go AMD because hell yes, that's why.
Processor: AM3+ AMD Vishera FX-8320E Black Edition 3.50GHz 8-Core ?5,950.00
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 ?2,690.00
Memory: Apotop 4GB DDR3 1600 Memory ?1,350.00 x 2 ?2,700
Casing: Aerocool GT Black Gaming Case Aerocool GT Black Gaming ?1,250.00 [Big case, cheap no USB 3. Motherboard may USB 3 na]
Hard Drive : Seagate 1TB 7200RPM 64MB Sata Hard Drive ?2,650.00
Power Supply : EVGA 500B 500W 80Plus Bronze Power Supply ?1,950.00
Only I thought of replacing the Processor, MOBO, Case, and GPU(original not stated) from PCX.
Processor: AMD FX-8350 8-Core Black Edition Processor ?8, 750
Motherboard: MSI 970 GAMING MOTHERBOARD ?5, 050
GPU: Not really sure, so I'm hovering between the two R9 280xs on the site since I don't understand enough about the difference to know if getting the more expensive one is worth it for my tastes.
SAPPHIRE TRI-X R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 OC VERSION GRAPHICS CARD ?13, 600
SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 TRI-X OC WITH BOOST GRAPHICS CARD ?14, 400
Case: COOLER MASTER ELITE K350 W/ WINDOW CASING ?2, 200
Total for both GPU choices sit just a bit short of ?40, 000, I'm planning to squeeze the rest for a monitor and a real cheap Keyboard.
This is really just a really rough, noob list so suggestions are welcome. No other components/peripherals as well, just need a CPU and a nice monitor.
All I want is a medium-end machine that can comfortably play the latest games, like Fallout 4 and Syndicate/Unity, at medium settings so if it's possible to lower the price with different components I'd love to hear it.
Please and thank you.
