What parts should I buy?

CallMeLoukas · Dec 5, 2016

I already have ram and psu. I want to buy CPU GPU and a motherboard that supports DDR3 RAM (I have 8gb, should I buy more?) What parts do you suggest me? 320 Dollars MAX MAX MAX. I would like to play IW, Bf1 etc maybe medium 900p-1080p Medium-Low

weberdarren97 · Dec 5, 2016

You have 8GB DDR3 at what speed? Is it a single stick or multiple?

What PSU do you already have? If it's modular, do you still have all of the cables that go with it?

320 Dollars max... 320 USD?

With 320, your quality, may be more towards the lower side, especially if you only have 320 to spend. Do you have a case?

weberdarren97 · Dec 5, 2016

Herc08 :

Do you really need a case?

As long as you have a non-conductive surface to set things on (like the motherboard box), the case can be had later. As long as the environment is not creating short circuits (hence a non-conductive surface), the case really doesn't provide too much functionality other than holding everything together so it can be easily moved.

Duplicate post?

As explained in your previous post, Stay away from DDR3 with Skylake.

What country do you live in? Are there any particular sites that you trust for your shopping?

CallMeLoukas · Dec 5, 2016

weberdarren97 :

Yes, http://www.skroutz.gr/
It shows the best prices from all the shops in Greece

The problem is that I already have a pc http://prnt.sc/dfraqu but I want to play games like bf1 and iw and everyone is saying that my cpu is weak. So i want to chance and go with i3 maybe? My motherboard have FM2+ socket only so I also have to change motherboard...

CallMeLoukas · Dec 5, 2016

Thanks a lot but I want DDR3 motherboard and I think Ill stick with these: Intel Core i3-6100 // Gigabyte Radeon RX460 4GB Windforce OC // Gigabyte H110M-S2PV DDR3
Do you know around how many fps would I get in a couple of games? Is it worth it changing CPU?

weberdarren97 · Dec 5, 2016

I posted a reply, then realized I was wrong. If you saw it just now, please ignore it.

Here is my revised reply:

Motherboard: ASRock B150M-HDS
CPU: Intel i3 6300 (includes heatsink)
RAM: 8GB Crucial DDR4 (2x4GB)

Very poor choice on the motherboard. Only four VRMs and none of them are cooled.
Also, Skylake doesn't do very well with DDR3. Although it technically does support DDR3, you'll get a much better experience using DDR4.

I can't say for sure in terms of FPS since your screenshot didn't tell me the model of your graphics card... It just said that it was in the R7 series.

Here's my advice: Don't try to upgrade the whole machine at once. Let's do the platform now and then do the graphics card later when you have the money.

Thanks soooo much for doing all these things for me!

CallMeLoukas :

8GB of DDR3 all on one stick. That's not gaming at all. That's not even home computing, that's just sad. Please don't try to use DDR3 with Skylake. Not to mention that you can't even use Dual Channel because you only have one stick.

So the money I spent for the pc was a waste?

In my opinion, if you bought AMD within the last two years then yes.

This excludes the RX 4xx series. It's worlds above all of AMD's previous designs.

What brand and model is the question. Is it a Corsair CX550M or a Seasonic or a EVGA Supernova? Im curious to the brand because would hate to see a fellow PC person use a PSU that could be terrible for his/her system.

Try the 1050Ti or RX460. Beyond those, I'd only recommend the 750ti if you can find it for cheap.
Really sad, that there still are countries in which you can't get "bang for your buck".

weberdarren97 · Dec 6, 2016

OP, you have a Corsair VS series power supply? That's easily the worst product that Corsair has made recently. I don't recommend running anything off of it, definitely not a dedicated graphics card.

Decends · Dec 6, 2016

What WeberDarren97 Said. Don't use a Corsair VS power supply for a gaming system. They are of very terrible quality. I especially wouldn't trust it for powering a PC with a dedicated GPU. If you are really strapped for cash i recommend: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094

Seasonic Makes good PSU's even in the more budget end of their options.

weberdarren97 · Dec 6, 2016

Decends :

Actually, the S12ii Bronze series used to carry a more premium price. It's an older design, so the price has fallen over the years. However, these units still compete with many of the more premium 80+ Gold units on the market today, but fail to keep up with ultra premium offerings like the Cooler Master V series and the Corsair AXi series.

Are they the best of the best? No.

Will they do the job? Yes.

Will Loukas' current power supply do the job? No.

Decends · Dec 6, 2016

weberdarren97 :

I think you misinterpret what i typed. I said his current PSU which is a Corsair VS (Not the Cooler master V which is in a whole other very good league) is of poor quality and will not suffice. The Seasonic is a good Budget option and good option in general. It is a Tier 2 PSU while coming in at a very affordable prices (costs you less than a AAA Title game).
