[a bwl o awesome]

I'm not trying to be offensive here...but with all of these posts you are putting up here you are better off either buying a console or saving a little more dough to get something nicer. How much is this "build" from your last post?

I had ps2,wii,xbox 360 and wii u. But i always liked pc. Not because of the power . But also because of the game library, i dont care if my pc is weaker than the next gen consoles as long as i can play games, alot of the games i like aren't on the consoles, stuff like mmorpgs free to play shooters...
The last build i posted is for around 345$ and 38$ shipping, its on bid.

its still a 3+1 mobo
http://www.biostar.com.tw/upload/Motherboard/b20110926.jpg
3x 1r0 filter + 1x 1r5 for cpu (not safe for 125w cpus)
2x1r2 and r15 are for other mobo components

Looks really good for the price tho :/


Well... What about this ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/161401998211

I am thinking about buying this : http://www.ebay.com/itm/161397700085
And upgrading the video card later

[_I_]

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 2.9 GHz (3.2 GHz Turbo)

amd pii cpus do not have turbo
they will underclock when idle, should be to 800 not 2.9

worst case it could be a pii x4 840 (no l3, should be a aii not pii)
http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=745&f1=AMD+Phenom%E2%84%A2+II+X4&f2=&f3=3200&f4=512&f5=AM3&f6=&f7=&f8=&f9=4000&f10=False&f11=&f12=True

for $160 its not bad
no real upgrade path for the cpu, unless you get a new cpu/mobo
(will take fx, but wont run them any better since the chipset is for aii/pii cpus)

Thermaltake 500 Watt ATX12V V2.2 - W0379RU
fire waiting to happen

This computer runs Crysis 2, Dota 2, Call of Duty Black Ops, Borderlands 2, Fifa 14, and Dark Souls all on ultra or high settings
with those specs, it will not run thos games on high-ultra

[GitCat]

Its a ii 840t , i think i will buy it , with the rest of the money ill upgrade the psu to a corsair 500 or 600w, then the cpu to fx 6300, what do you think? It ends in 2 hours, and its about as strong as the build i wanted to build for 500$

[_I_]

pus upgrade for it sounds like a good idea

before upgrading the cpu, look up what board it has
http://www.overclock.net/t/946407/amd-motherboards-vrm-info-database

if its a 700-800 series chipset, dont bother putting an fx in it
get a pii 1100t or other x6 (if the board has 4+1 or better vrm config)
http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/316/AMD_FX-Series_FX-6300_vs_AMD_Phenom_II_X6_1100T.html
(ignore ram intensive, fx has twice as much at 4g 1866 vs 2g 1333)

----------------------
Doesn't seem like i will be able to put a fx in it, also like you said its risky for 125w cpus, so should i get a 1055t instead? (It uses 95w)

[_I_]

that board is not for 125w cpus
it does support and can take them, but its 3+1 vrm config will throttle the crap out of a 125w cpu

and the 760/710 chipset will run fx like a pii cpu

thats probably one of the best cpus for the board

again, its not a bad starting point
if you want a better cpu/mobo, go with an i3 or pentium g build (to reuse the ram, make sure its 1.5v or lower)
