MSI 970 and FX-6300 + Asus Geforce GT 730!!

Bill_Clifferd · Mar 30, 2016

I have my GT 730 GPU, I'm going to upgrade my M/B so i thought MSI 970 will be great, and the Processor FX-6300 . Is there any problem with this combo??

Darkbreeze · Mar 30, 2016

No problem at all so long as you have a capable enough power supply, which shouldn't be too tough since that's a really low power demand card. GT 730, MSI 970 Gaming and FX-6300 are all well suited to each other.

M/B?
MSI 970?
Do you mean MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G graphic card or MSI 970 motherboard?

Bill_Clifferd · Mar 30, 2016

Darkbreeze :

So what kind of power supply should i use ?
can i use zebronics 450W smps [20+4pin] , Because i already have that !

Bill_Clifferd · Mar 30, 2016

guanyu210379 :

I mean the MSI 970 Motherboard

Darkbreeze · Mar 30, 2016

Do you currently HAVE a power supply, or is this a new build from scratch?

Bill_Clifferd · Mar 30, 2016

I have 450W smps! is that enough to power these!!

Darkbreeze · Mar 30, 2016

What is the brand name or model number as listed on the label of the power supply. 450w smps is not a model number. Either on the back, or one of the sides of the unit, should be a product label that lists a model number and brand.

Bill_Clifferd · Mar 30, 2016

(Zebronics) ZEB-450W[DSATA PLUS] [20+4pin]

Darkbreeze · Mar 30, 2016

Well, I was hoping you weren't going to say something like that. Unfortunately, Zebronics is one of the very worst power supply brands out there. I'd HIGHLY suggest getting a different unit. What country are you in? Zebronics is a brand pretty well specific to the middle eastern countries and India, so I'm guessing you're somewhere near there or no?

Bill_Clifferd · Mar 30, 2016

Darkbreeze :

Yeah bro I'm from India. and i hate zebronics! Can you suggest some other power supply ! for this combo .

Darkbreeze · Mar 30, 2016

This is probably the least expensive unit on Flipkart that I'd recommend, and is plenty for your configuration.

Darkbreeze :

Thank you DarkBreeze ! and one more thing

Will this combo do any good for extreme gaming??
i will be using Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB memory

Darkbreeze · Mar 30, 2016

No, it's not going to do any good for extreme gaming. That GPU card is mostly a very low end, general purpose graphics card. It will probably game better than most integrated graphics, but it's never going to be considered "extreme" and is probably even below what most would consider entry level. You would need a MUCH higher end graphics card.

Also, while the FX-6300 still has some capability for gaming, especially if given a significant overclock, it's a three year old platform and is quickly losing its viability as a gaming CPU. It certainly will work well enough for now, probably better than any of the FM2+ APUs like the A10 or the Athlon X4 860k, but it's far behind any of the Intel CPUs at the i3 or higher range from the current or last generation.

Can you suggest me a good cpu!

Darkbreeze · Mar 30, 2016

I don't think that changing CPUs is going to improve things much if you plan to use that GT 730. That is going to be your bottleneck in that configuration, not the CPU.

Bill_Clifferd · Mar 31, 2016

Darkbreeze :

i'll change my gpu soon!
But now i'm going to buy a new mobo and cpu! so i need suggestions.

Bill_Clifferd · Mar 31, 2016

i dont want to play games in 4k! i want to play in 1600x900 res and atleast in high settings not ultra !

Darkbreeze · Mar 31, 2016

What is your budget then, for a CPU and motherboard?

Bill_Clifferd · Mar 31, 2016

Darkbreeze · Mar 31, 2016

In Rupees? 20,000k probably isn't enough for substantial upgrade, or at least not enough to make it worth spending the money versus what you already have, for gaming anyhow.

Bill_Clifferd · Mar 31, 2016

Darkbreeze :

Ok then lets forget about the extreme gaming , Will MSI 970, Fx 6300 and gt 730 work for 1600x900 res medium gaming and a little bit of after effects , Will they??

guanyu210379 · Mar 31, 2016

The whole thread is a bit confusing to me.
You wanna upgrade the mobo...does this mean you have already the FX6300 with some other mobo?
What is that some other mobo? Why you want to upgrade the modo?
Upgrading only the mobo will not add any performance gain. There is mostly almost no benefit from upgrading the mobo. If it is broken..well..that another story.
It is better to invest on a better GPU (eventually a new PSU), FX6300 is still ok.
Your GT730 is the main bottleneck almost on any new AAA games....yes...even on 1600x900...
Even going for GTX960 is already a massive boost.
How much is Rupee 20k? in € or USD?

Bill_Clifferd · Mar 31, 2016

guanyu210379 :

Ok! This is the story, I had a mobo(which is now broken) So i want to buy a new mobo,
Since i'm buying a new one ,i cant use my old processor ,so i want to buy that to.
i googled and found > MSI 970 gaming mobo + AMD FX-6300 for my budget.
and the GPU! ,i already have ASUS Geforce GT 730 with me ,which means i dont want to buy a new one (because i bought it just before 2 months). And that's it ,i'm here to ask you bros that "Is MSI 970 + FX-6300 + GT 730 a good combo"
Or do i need to change anything "Except the GPU".

20k in rupees will be something around 300$
