Hey!

I'm going to build my first pc and i'm on a tight budget. I'm thinking of using these parts:

The thing is that i'm not sure if a go with the A10-7850k or the amd fx8320e with the XFX R7 260

Thanks for your help in advance!

Neither. Core i3 6100 + Video card will be far better than either.

The 7850K is a very weak CPU with a fairly good integrated GPU, but the iGPU is still less than half as fast as the R7 260. The FX-8320e is basically two of the CPUs from thje 7850K put together for a total of 8 cores, but most games won't effectively utilize more than 2-3 of those cores, leaving most of them sitting idle. Here's how the i3 stacks up against the FX:

Here's how it performs against the A10, both using the same GPU:

you cant get a gaming pc for 250$ its impossible

what is your type of budget because if you only have $250 I would suggest you look at used computers otherwise you really cant afford a new build with that.

I'm actually thinking of doing this instead: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Sewerat29/saved/#view=RRd8TW

I'm new to the pc world and don't know much about it but i'm trying to learn more.

Core i3 6100 is both faster and cheaper than the FX-8320. The FX CPU came out in 2012 and is quite old now, and doesn't belong in a PC built in 2016.

So do you think i should go with the i3 6100 build?

Ecky · Aug 19, 2016

Yeah. i3 6100, and either an ASRock H110 motherboard + 1x 8GB DDR4 (inexpensive) or ASRock H170 motherboard + 2x 4GB DDR4 (more room for expansion later), and whatever video card your budget allows.
