Suggestions On CheaP Gaming Build

Dual channel. all of AMD is dual channel.

7870 beats the 750ti.

 

[Super Nade]

The 750Ti is $50 cheaper, consumes less power and overclocks really well. I'd say this has to be the best card in the $150 range if you can live without SLI.

it shows here that the athlon is slower than the phenom ii x4 on benchmarks : http://cpuboss.com/cpu/AMD-Athlon-X4-760K

and its almost the same price as an fx on ebay like $90.so,is it worth it to get an fx for about 20 bucks more

Passmark must use more cache in its benchmark... you can use one random bench to make a choice... I wouldn't.

They are close here...

...but again you are assuming you can unlock it. If not, you have a slower chip. Why not pay the pittance more for the same or better performance?

You won't get an FX build worth having with your budget.

so thats that,is there any way to get a cheaper mobo for this,and whats the real world performance hit for 8gb vs 4gb(little things to make it fit in the budget)

You'll run out of RAM with 4GB for gaming on modern titles.

You keep mentioning "little things to make it fit in the budget", but my first link was $50 under your given budget of $500.
Was that not an accurate number?

Edit: Looks like the original post got changed to $450 now. If you want a computer and monitor for $450 then go buy a Dell.

i mean i have to ship to ship these parts to India(yes,some sellers ship internationally).Things are so costly here,its way cheaper to buy from ebay
eg: the 7850 costs about 20,000 and at the current exchange rate,thats around $300...WTF!!!!

It would have been helpful to know that up front.....

What sites can you buy from in India? I expect we can get decent pricing on parts there, then save you on shipping.

Here you go.

Have fun with it

Yup, go with this build. It's perfect for your budget. And as for the Phenom II unlocking, not all CPU's are unlockable. My friend had a PII x2 that had been unlocked but was not stable, no matter how hard he tried. The cores are locked for a reason-u may end up like him, getting failed cores. It's about luck.

Are you from India? I'm from Kolkata...so if you can tell me your budget in INR, I can help you to some extent.

 

[masterofnocrack]

thanks guys.just the same as the budget given.450x60 = around 27000 INR

 

[ATMINSIDE]

I'll defer to DJ on finding parts now, he'll know Indian shops much better than I ever will.

bro, thanks but i cant buy stuff from flipkart.they dont ship to my pincode.only amazon ships to my pincode

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Only thing I'll say here is that I wouldn't trust that motherboard (or any motherboard with a weak power section) with an FX at full load.

Even if you buy from Amazon, there shouldn't be much difference

Only thing I'll say here is that I wouldn't trust that motherboard (or any motherboard with a weak power section) with an FX at full load.

I think that if the OP does not OC the FX 4300, the mobo should be able to handle the 4300 at stock.

4 phase board no heatsinks... isn't it hot in india? I would at least get something with heatsinks on the power area...
