[Gaarashatan]

I am building a new gaming pc nothing to fancy but something better than i got by far and i want to get as much as i can for the price so heres my question.

I was going to get

for my cpu. but after some research for just a bit more i could get

and i guess it crossfires with the gpu im getting which is

so im wondering which cpu should i get for a gaming rig? also im getting a cooler master hyper 212 with artic silver. but im not quite sure how to overclock as it will be my first rig ive built. thank you for the help

A couple things Gaarashatan to the forum. If you plan on going with an FX CPU get the 6300 instead of the 6100.
Also it would help us greatly to know what type of gaming you will be playing and a rough budget.
Also if this is a ground up build with newOS and Peripherals or will you be reusing parts from your current system.

just games like wow d3 and league not really any FPS games. my budget is around 500-600 and ill be re using my harddrive

you're going to have issues getting an AM3 motherboard to sit a FM2 CPU....
those fans are bah (mediocre if not junk)
and why the cleaner
and that psu might be overkill

 

[Johan45]

Not bad but the MOBO was the wrong socket. You need a FM2 for that CPU not AM3+ also if you're planning on OC ing get a beefier board like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131883
You could go for a smaller PSU and spend more on the board.
But looks good for what you're going to do with it.

If you want to overclock you'd better upgrade the motherboard. You'll also want to upgrade to faster ram if you can afford it because with the Trinity CPU technology the video is built into the CPU which means the main system ram speed will have a significant effect on video performance. So upgrade from 1600 ram to say 2100 mhz ram.

 

[Gaarashatan]

ya sry the mobo is still the one with the other cpu. i forgot to switch

 

[Gaarashatan]

well i want a corsair psu cause i guess all the others ones are kinda eh and die alot

 

[Gaarashatan]

and i already got artic silver 5. just need a cleaner

 

[dtrunk]

what is the purpose of this rig? cause if it's gaming, you need to focus more $$$ on the video card.

 

[Gaarashatan]

and i dont want to spend to much on fans nor do i want the ones in the case that move 10cm

 

[Gaarashatan]

but the reviews says its pretty much good for things. and im wondering if it goes with the apu cpu i can play games like league and wow on ultra

 

[dtrunk]

tough call buddy, and you'll have to wait for the community to chime in. I'm not sure you want an apu style processor. The denab 965 is a pretty strong processor and overclocks like a beast. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727

you could pair this with a cheaper mobo AM3 or AM3+, but it must offer some overclocking abilities. ASrock is usually seen as decent OC abilities AND cheap(er). you picked a micro atx mobo, yet your case is mid atx; not a big deal, but micro will limit some stuff.

you only need 1333 memory for the denab phII, but 1600 is just as well. concentrate on low CL or cas latency #

get a psu closer to 500w, unless you really plan to upgrade any time soon.

dont buy any extra fans for now. the case comes with enough to start and should offer decent cooling. maybe a decent 140mm for the side, lemme see what newegg offers.

BLOW MORE DOUGH on the video card, this will offer you the most gaming ability for time to come... compile the above, then decide what you have to spend on the video card, you'll probably want a video card closer to $150.

if you must.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186080 add two of these. one will bolt up easy in the side vent to help cool the gpu... one you'll have to rig (zip ties) to the top as an exhaust above the cpu... BAM

 

[Gaarashatan]

well im still debating if i should oc or not ty for the help

Antec and Seasonic also make quality PSUs and Antec has some good buys on their lower wattage units. Check out the Neo series.

 

[Gaarashatan]

do u think ill have enough room to put a side fan on with that board and gpu?
