Low budget gaming build.

[Simu]

hi,
how good is the following system:

CPU: Core i3-3210
MOBO: Gigabyte B75-D3H
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8gb (2x4)
HDD: 1TB Toshiba 7200 RPM
GFX: Sapphire HD-7750
PSU: Corsair CX 430 V2

Note: is mobo/cpu combination okay!!

The limitation is the graphics card . What resolution is your monitor?


In the same price range you can also include an AMD FX 6300 + mb as an option .
Newer games run better with more cores

Mind sharing a little more info.
Price, wanting to OC, Location / stores etc..
Also is this a gaming rig?

Typically with low budget builds you go with AMD cpu

its a nice build especially if you're on a budget though would think you would want a stronger gpu at least like a 650ti

which mobo do you suggest with fx 6300 and i got full hd monitor i.e. 23" and i don't do heavy gaming resolution like 1366 or 1440 that's it but do watch full HD movies.

AMD's latest mb chips are the 970 , 990X , and 990FX

They perform the same and just add features

Motherboards with a 970 chipset start at around $75
[ asrock call some boards 970 but they have 770 chipsets so read the specs as well as the title ]

ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 $75 after rebate

is an excellent choice

but intel is cheaper!!

AMD FX 6300 + ASUS M5A97 R2.0 is out of my budget bcoz in that case i can go for Core i5 3570K!!

fx6300 + m5a97 = 215
i5 3570k by itself = 225
