What case and psu (make and model) do you have?

khashayar2000 · Dec 27, 2016

Hi
U Choose A Pretty Good Cpu Of Amd Series But I Suggest U Abandon Amd Cpus And Go For Intel Series

Check It Out

Much better Build

Using DDR4 Ram

USING INTEL I5 6500

USING BETTER GPU

Can U Afford It ?

And Gimme More Info About Ur Power Supply

bignastyid :

Case is very old but it is a Antec ATX Full tower Case

PSU is 650 W Power Supply

Captain_Pizzaz · Dec 27, 2016

khashayar2000 :

It is a 650 W Power Supply

also could I skip out on the SSD and get it later I'm trying to stay as close to 400 as possible.

khashayar2000 · Dec 27, 2016

Well Ur Case Sounds To Be Ok

But I mean What Is Ur Psu Name ? If U Can Tell me Its Series ? For Example Corsair Got CX Series

Captain_Pizzaz · Dec 27, 2016

khashayar2000 :

Unfortunately I can't at the moment because I'm in a different state and I don't know from the top of my head. Also I don't want to play just Arma I want to play other games at reasonable FPS

bignastyid · Dec 27, 2016

650w tells me next to nothing about the psu I need the make and model to determine if its safe to use or if its a fire hazard.

khashayar2000 · Dec 27, 2016

OK Just For Informing U

Most Of Power Supplies From reliable Brands Like EVGA ROSEWIL CORSAIR GREEN SEASONIC Give The Nearest Wattage Which Written On Them

But Other Unreliable Power Supply Brands Give Not The Maximum Wattage Which Written On Them So If U Can make Urself Sure ABout Ur Psu Other Things Is Perfectly Ok And Compatible But If Not , This Is A Risk Because A Bad Psu Can Damage All Of The Components IF It Crash

khashayar2000 :

No problem, Im getting it from a old computer technician

Captain_Pizzaz · Dec 27, 2016

khashayar2000 :

Ok is it a good idea to buy used PC parts, I found a i7-2600K on ebay

khashayar2000 · Dec 27, 2016

Hi

i7 2600k Is A Very Good Cpu Even Its Old But U Need A Lga1155 Socket Mobo And I Dont Think Its A Good Idea to Buy A Old Mobo With A Old Used Processor ! It Only gives U More Performance From Cpu When It Heavily Overclocked Which Needs Better Cooling System And A Z Series Mobo So U Need To Afford Such A Higher Budget

I said MY suggestion . Im Not Here To Force U Buy A System . U Can Decide Urself . I Think I helped Enough And Answered Enough . Choice Is Yours
