and i would like to know what GPU you guys would suggest to me with this setup and i would like to know if there are any better/cheaper parts that i can use.

thanks.

without a budget its hard to even start suggesting parts.

 

[bogo663]

Since it's an AMD build, I imagine the budget is $700 or less.

thanks for the quick reply but i posted it before i was done editing it on accident,my budget is 700.

 

[jonjonjon]

while i do agree with you. the difference in parts between $500-1000 is pretty big. i guess it really just comes down to a ssd and the video card. does the video card also have to be amd?

edit: never mind he just posted the budget.

no,the gpu can b nvidia or amd as long as it fits in budget and i dont really want a ssd.

so adding that up you have what, another $200 to spend? First, replace that PSU, much better and less expensive ones out there. Maybe

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341018
for $60 after rebate, or

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020
for $70 after rebate

Then add a 7870
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709&IsNodeId=1&Description=7870&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=20
Starts at $195 after rebate

Just one question could you build anything better for the same budget using any parts you want?

 

[abbadon_34]

Most people would say switch to intel. The new Piledriver/Vishera/Trinity line is a good improvement over the last (failed) model, and makes them competetive in certain areas, like mobile apu gaming and budget encoding, but intel still holds the lead on desktop gaming and top-end consumer encoding.

Cheaper ram here:

There is no need for 1866Mhz ram.

This power supply is about ten times better for cheaper:

The case is overpriced considering it used to be around 40 bucks.

The motherboard is very low end, old chipset, and no vrm cooling. You won't be overclocking very far on that thing.

It's a real beast and there's pretty much nothing left to improve.

 

[abbadon_34]

nice, i like it, haven't seen much of that HSF, better than the EVO I'm guessing for another $10 ?

 

[Kamen_BG]

It's quite a bit better than the EVO.It's almost as good as the Cooler Master TPC 812.
