Helping building a gaming PC [Finding Budget Parts]

Mezorno · Oct 14, 2016

[Sorry for bad english my primary language is french] My name is Brandon Sheppard and I'm fairly new to PC Gaming. I was always a console kid because I didn't have enough money to ever get good pcs. I've now got a job and very excited to get a PC of my own. I'm looking for something good enough to run games like Mafia 3, Rise of the tomb raider, and other tripple a titles moderately good. I am not too attached to VR so I have no problem getting older graphics cards. I want to know what parts I should get, looking for something upgradable as I plan to do major upgrades in the future.

Budget: 700 CAD (I can go up to 800, but I preferably not)

This is the best you can get for around $7-800CAD, and it will be able to play AAA games, but you will be limited to medium settings to get 60fps. If you needed to go a little cheaper, i would say step down to a i3 6300.

Dont forget an O.S and maybe a disk drive. Didnt want to go over 700 for your sake but this might be the best i can do, intel is the best and nvidia but amd has better overclocking in my opinion, however if you plan on overclockig get a good cooler becaus eamd rigs run quite hot and the rx 470 should future proof your build

``CPU: AMD fx-6300 ``
ARE YOU SERIOUS???

Pcenthusiast16 · Oct 16, 2016

I tried to keep budget in mind and ive never done a build based on canadian dollar, aint my fault an i5 is overpriced XD, dw im by no means an amd fanboy

Ethanh100 · Oct 16, 2016

an i3 6100 will be better than a FX 6300.

Pcenthusiast16 · Oct 17, 2016

Isnt it a dual core thogh?

Ethanh100 · Oct 18, 2016

Yes, but it has much higher instructions per clock, and will perform better in things that dont take advantage of tons of cores, like games, and everyday programs.

Pcenthusiast16 · Oct 19, 2016

Better go woth the i3 6100 then, thanks for the info
