You will get more fps out of the 1st rig, but it might kill itself because of the psu. Here is cheaper ram so you can better afford a $40 EVGA 500watt psu.

So the corsair psu is better than acbel? The rig that i'm gonna buy is secondhand/ex-used rig and the seller sold them in package(need to buy all of the components). I'm on tight budget so i can't replace even a components(for now). So do you think that acbel psu can support the rig for about 2 years?

The second rig has better specs except the video card plus it has a SSD and the RAM is dual channel. If you can't replace the power supply for the first one, I would go with the second rig.

So you think i should buy the second rig? I can sell the video card for 75USD and can add some 30USD. So what do you prefer for 105USD video card?

I would recommend the Geforce GTX 950. Maybe you can look for a used one? The cheapest ones I found NEW are around $120 (on ebay, but the sale could end any time) which is just slightly over budget. So I would just use the R7 360 until you can afford a GTX 950.

I think so. How bout getting GTX950 OC or GTX960 Reference? The 960 cost 30USD more.

GTX960 Reference for sure. Overclocked 950's are not worth the premium they charge.

Hey i can get an ex-used R9 270X for 130USD. Should i get it or save some money to get a GTX960(200USD). Because on my country(Indonesia) the components price are still high.

Guest · May 16, 2016

I think the 270X could put quite a strain on the power supply and would run hot. The GTX 950 is about the same performance as the 270X, so I would save up to get a 950 or 960. They run cooler, are based off of newer technology and don't consume as much power as the 270X would.

Dhikasen · May 16, 2016

Thanks mate! I will get the second rig tomorrow and i'll save up some money to buy a gtx 960.
