Challenge Build Under $400 Mini itx build

[Glue Guy]

Use the Coolermaster Elite 110 120 or 130 for the build. (400-85 for windows 7) Link in Pcpartpicker please thanks!

I`m seeing AMD fanatic here. :)

I would agree getting G3258 and GTX 750ti, it is the best build for budget gaming.

Some of those methods may work BUT he still needs to be able to afford a copy of Windows.

Here's the thing I could go with a guard core app like an a8 5600k I mean all the builds I usually do are and I'd very much about Pentium and their performance I think I'll stick with the gtx 750 though for shadowplay

I would stick with the 260x, you could crossfire it later down the line.

Same advice here, stats on R7 260X > stats on GTX 750 by near double in some areas.

The thing the GTX 750 and 750 ti are good for is low power use. Good for offices specially where the GPU is only used sometimes and can often use Intel graphics instead, not the best for gaming. Can play many games but R7 260X is just better.

Compare:
Nvidia 700 series

AMD Rx 200 series
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Volcanic_Islands_.28Rx_200.29_Series

As you can see the R7 260X has 1971 GFLOPS while the GTX 750 has 1044 GFLOPS.
The R7 260X also has almost twice as much texel fillrate.

Edit: I take back that last I was looking at the wrong numbers I think.

amd cards are better value
nvidia cards are more efficient

gtx750 is close to a r7 260x
http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R7-260X-vs-GeForce-GTX-750
amd and nvidia cards use their ram/cpu completely different from eachother

if its a low wattage psu, get the gtx750/ti
else a r7 265 or r9 card for the same price

Thanks for the copy pasta

again, hybrid crossfire (amd dual graphics) is not worth it

better off with a single gpu that much better than the dual config
and youll still be stuck with the amd apu thats a poor excuse for a cpu

bottom end i3 vs top end amd apu

http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/324/AMD_A10-Series_A10-5800K_vs_Intel_Pentium_Dual-Core_G3220.html

amd apu is 4 cores, but in 2 modules

Man, you are very much misguided there. Don`t use CPU boss and CPU world when comparing those CPU`s. Your comments will be very effective if you have the real rig by yourself and experiencing the real world scenarios.

Which I am right now running on 7850k and the performance is great. For pure gaming I strongly recommend the G3258 with gtx 750 ti. :)

Which I`m building right now. :)
