fx-6300, same price
I agree with /u/Condesending_Android , you can try to go for a newer FX-6300. It's actually slightly cheaper right now on Amazon
The rest looks good, although you may be able to find a cheaper 7870 Ghz if you look around (there were some sales before, but I'm not sure if they are still going on). Unless you really prefer the XFX version, then by all means go for it :)
You could buy some thermal paste, take your laptop apart, spray out all of the dust, and then reapply the aftermarket thermal paste to your cpu just in case to help it stay cool. I saw a video of it on youtube. Maybe thermal paste could be applied to the GPU as well?
I just used amazon spain to find the parts since pcpartpicker doesn't support spain. It's a similar build to one I posted earlier; maybe it will give you an idea of the build you are looking for.
Building a PC (obviously) and getting some mixed results in regards to two different CPU's. I'd like opinions on which ones to choose from.
The Intel Boxed Core I5-6600K was my original choice, but I've had some people try to convince me to get AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 instead. Obviously there's a big price difference between these two CPU's, but I'm hearing a lot of "intel marks up their prices way too much" and "the amd can do everything intel will do and has two more cores anyway" and other stuff like that which, to me, just sounds like AMD fanboyism trying to discredit the other CPU, but I also admit I don't actually know that much and that they could be right. Also, the fact that there's multiple of them.
So I'd like some input from you guys!
tl;dr: Intel Boxed Core I5-6600K or AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300
Because they are not. Let's take the german amazon for example:
4460 200€
6300 120€
Also, "more than double the FPS" show me examples please. Can't argue with someone biased. I'm not trying to say AMD is better, it's just better in budget builds or for people who already have an AM3+ board from previous generations (Phenom X3 X4 for example) and want to upgrade, this was my case and I'm happy with my FX6300 that I bought for 95€ new.
That's the same price as new from Amazon

Just saying
Could change your cpu, gfx card and mobo to this.

Mobo: $47: Basic "4 egg" FX support Motherboard

GFX card: $100: ATI 7770

CPU: $122: AMD FX 6300 6 core cpu 3.5ghz turbo of 4.1ghz
I added up your total, it would be $478
This monitor if you don't need DVI: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-vn248h
The M500 is $110 over at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-240GB-2-5-Inch-Internal-CT240M500SSD1/dp/B00BQ8RM1A).
The FX-6300 is $110 over at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009O7YORK)
This is a better GPU for the $100 price range: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202081
That cpu is quite good, but if you can try to get an Fx-6300. It has the same power rating and is quite faster. It also has a similar price, unless you have snagged a lower deal than $120. http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FX-Series-Six-Core-Processor-FD6300WMHKBOX/dp/B009O7YORK
Since R9 270 serves well for gaming, for that budget you can nail an G3258 plus an H81-B85-H97 motherboard, FX-4100 is a pretty "old" chip and may be an slightly bottleneck.
At most, you can get:
GPU
Green Side: EVGA GTX 960 starting at $200 dls may be an 25-35% faster than your current GPU.
Red Side: R9 280X Vapor X Same story, but performs a little better than the GTX 960.
CPU
]Blue side:] One of the best performers is the G3258 it's a Haswell unlocked chip, you can get this little monster up to 4,2 ghz easily with the proper cooling, also to note you need a new motherboard for this chip, ANY ASUS branded board (H81, B85, H97, Z97) is able to overclock unlocked mutiplier chips since last year i think, it from $69-89
one of the best price-performance chip, don't get fooled by the "Pentium name".
Red Side: FX-6300, a bit "old" but also one of the best price/performance chips, it doesn't even bottlenecks a top tier card. And you won't need to change you Motherboard.
So: ($69 G3258 - $55 ASUS H81-M ) If you go Intel side, so you'll left $174 for the gpu
and for the red side FX-6300 and spare $198 for gpu
The main thing is that I would go with a FX-6300; due to the recent price drop it's showing up as the same price as the 4300.
You may want to go for 2x4gb ram so you can take advantage of dual channel; the mobo has 4 ram slots so it won't really affect upgradeability.

Hi all,
I currently have an AMD FX 6300 6-Core Black Edition 3.5ghz AM3+ processor sitting on my shelf that is currently incompatible with my motherboard. It seats in the chip slot correctly, but isn't recognized upon boot-up. I built this PC 7 years ago, now, and most of the components have been replaced aside from my AMD Phenom II X2 560 Duo Core Processor, which seems to be the choking point for my performance, so I'm hoping to upgrade to the AMD FX 6300.
I was curious if any of you would be able to point me towards a decent motherboard that would be compatible with this newer processor.
The rest of my specs are as follows:
Thanks!
Get This instead of that current CPU. This is cheaper and will actually give good performance during games. Look at the reviews.
The rest looks good, but use the money saved from the CPU to buy a better GPU. Maybe this (again, look at the reviews, the second one down especially.)
EDIT: Just realised you're below his budget currently :P Put all the left over money into a better and better GPU until it reaches the desired price.
Hope I helped.
From Amazon with free shipping.
it runs on both AM2+ and AM3 so now we gotta find out what motherboard socket you have. download a program CPU-Z it will give that info. If its AM3 this will be your best option http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-Processor-Edition/dp/B009O7YORK
Hey man!
Check out [this motherboard] (http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Intel-USB3-0-Motherboard-GA-H81M-H/dp/B00I6DLKCA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1412625307&sr=8-4&keywords=lga+1150+motherboard) which goes for around 50 USD.
If you are new, you need to make sure that the socket type of the processor is a LGA 1150, so the motherboard must have the same socket type. Your i3 is a LGA 1150, so the motherboard and the processor should work together. Just made a similar mistake, however nothing terrible bad occured.
I know that you just asked for a motherboard, but I can't help but notice that you are going for a budget gaming build. Half the parts you have are the same as the parts I have. In fact, I ordered the Evga GTX 750 Ti from Newegg just this Saturday for 135 USD.
So what I have to say on your build regarless if you asked for help is to get a [Intel Core i3-4360 @ 3.70GHz] (http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i3-4360-Processor-Cache-BX80646I34360/dp/B00J2LIFDC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412625825&sr=8-1&keywords=Intel+Core+i3-4360+%40+3.70GHz) which is more expensive, at 150 USD, but has way better performance.
Even better yet is to go for an AMD processor, however I know that some people are not a fan of them, but thats fine.
If you don't mind about AMD, pick up a [AMD FX-6350 Six-Core] (http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-Processor-Edition/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412626082&sr=8-2&keywords=AMD+FX-6350+Six-Core) which goes for 100 USD, but is far better than the i3 I linked above, and the i3 in your current build.
Please note that changing to AMD will change the motherboard you need, but the cost of the motherboard should still stay around 50 USD.
AMD also has a 8 core processor that runs for 130 USD that you may want to look into. Most games dont utilize more than 2 cores however.
I will gladly help you with anything you need.
One more thing I am looking into is buying a case that comes with a PSU. I know that Coolermaster, a reputable company, provides an option like this for around 60-70 USD. You could look into that if you prefer.
Also note that a operating system will cost you almost 100 USD, a sizable chunk of money in a budget build, unless your run Linux.
Glad to help.
a good starting point could a CPU upgrade, I have a FX6300 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX6300-Edition-4-1GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YORK) and I really think it brings great bang for the buck :)
hmmm, if you dont want to change your mobo why not get an amd fx 6300? I don't have much personally experience with it but it should increase performance.
http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-6-Core-Processor/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1464897607&sr=1-1&keywords=amd+fx+6300
aside from that i don't see much issue from your setup. Maybe try using compressed air to clean it out.
(also for the life of me i could not find a gpu called the amd 760G)
Here are the new parts I'm getting, sorry for the late reply:
Graphics card
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclocked-Dual-Link-Graphics-01G-P4-2753-KR/dp/B00IDG3LUO/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1393846412&sr=1-8&keywords=GTX+750ti

I'm also throwing out the disk drive due to the gentleman above saying how nobody uses them anymore.
LoL and Diablo 3 are both not very graphic-intensive games, so you're graphics card should have no problem handling that. When it comes to more complex games, I'm worried that your performance (possibly) might be bottlenecked by the CPU. For that reason, maybe you should get this one.
EDIT: Ah shit, eduardobeattle is exactly right. Sockets are different. Sorry OP, forget what I mentioned above. If you have some more money, maybe get this one. Really sorry about the first one, but this one uses an AM3 socket which is compatible with the motherboard you want to get.
Best bang for your buck of an upgrade would probably be
AMD FX-6300 ($122) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009O7YORK?ie=UTF8&tag=cursegaming0f-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B009O7YORK
More than likely going to require a new MOBO too. :/
edit: When it comes to PC hardware, you usually get what you pay for. I would highly recommend holding off and saving for a Intel i5-3570K instead ($220)+mobo($115)
Did something similar yesterday, just without the OS.

The case and the PSU are great, the PSU is actually £50 on amazon, so it's a great deal. Xigmatek are a Germany-based company, so I have strong belief they have good quality control, even if they don't make their PSUs themselves (neither do Corsair, for that matter).
PSU reviews: Review 1, review 2, review 3.
While Corsair is a reliable brand, there seems to be a general consensus that their CX Builder range is a bit crap. Xigmatek PSU uses cheap components too (as do all budget PSUs), but I'd say they're not the worst. Xigmatek use Teapo capacitors. In contrast, Corsair use Capxon capacitors.

Hey guys i have a hp compaq dc5850 small form factor pc
and i was wondering if i could install a Zotac GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4 GB Mini or a AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core without overpowering the PSU.
Thanks for any help you can give guys!
I just suggested this to someone else: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H33SFJU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
However run your spec through a calculator to see what kind of watts you need. https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator
I would also suggest getting a better processor. This one is only 10 more dollars and quite a bit better for instance: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009O7YORK/ref=crt_ewc_img_dp_8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Hi, OP.
I've read through the comments on here as well as looking in your threads on /r/buildapc and /r/buildapcforme and while there have been some good suggestions, I can honestly say that I don't think you're going to get something you'll be content with as a gaming system for £400 – especially looking at the systems that you've been recommended (also worth noting that the suggestions on /r/buildapcforme haven't included an OS). It's not that people have been making bad suggestions, it's just that you're working on an extremely tight budget for that to include tower, OS and monitor.
For some perspective, let's just compare it quickly to next-gen console prices – and I'm by no means whatsoever suggesting a console is a better idea, I don't think it is at all; I'm just trying to put into perspective how far you're looking to stretch your budget. As it stands, a PS4 would set you back £350, plus at least another £300 for a HD TV as the display output (equivalent to the PC's monitor). That's £650 minimum for something which would give comparable performance to what I would consider a low-middle budget gaming PC.
Just a little bit more budget would go a long way towards getting components which afford you a bit more longevity. With it being a 21st present as well it'd really suck for you to be getting a system that you wouldn't be entirely satisfied with initially, especially if it'd mean you'd then be looking to upgrade again in as little as 12 months. Guessing you'll be due back at uni in the next few weeks, but if you can squeeze in any part time work in between to boost your budget it'd definitely be worthwhile – that's probably my number 1 recommendation.
I'm happy to do everything I can to guide you through the build and can even recommend some good UK-based retailers I've used myself for my last couple of builds – overclockers.co.uk, scan.co.uk & ebuyer.com – but /r/buildapcsalesuk (which someone already recommended) is definitely the best place to look to get the most for your money, especially if you have the patience to wait for deals and buy the components separately. Ebay & gumtree might be worth a look for the monitor as well, being that it's a fairly non-specialist item which is unlikely to have been tampered with or overclocked by a previous owner; all you'd really be looking for is a 1080p monitor, probably 19"-23" with a DVI and/or HDMI input.
As far as component advice goes, without getting too specific just yet, I'd probably recommend AMD for your CPU & GPU as you do tend to get a bit more for your money at the budget end of the spectrum compared to the competition (Intel in the CPU market & NVIDIA in the GPU market). As an example, something like this hex-core CPU for sub £100 is a lot more value for money than the Intel dual cores you've been recommended over on /r/buildapcforme but with such a restrictive budget there's little to no lee-way for making allowances for such great deals.
Case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005869IUY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

580 for 150e is nice, but that i5 is simply outdated, new fx 6300 performs similarly with similar price.
Here is the link: http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B009O7YORK
Edit: For 200-220e you can have 7870 graphics card which performs similarly but with much lower power consumption.
http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00A1572TQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1373887926&sr=8-1&pi=SL75
I did as much as I could to get the price down without changing the core parts you had picked.
Added 8GB memory, and found a case that looks a lot like what you had before. I also changed the graphics card and power supply to lower the total price down.

Hey, thanks for the response. I came across this processor while I was browsing earlier, it seems like it's on sale for quite cheap. Is this a good option or should I go with the i3 you suggested?

I have the fx-6300, should I even consider the upgrade?
The goal is to get more consistent frames in Rust.
This same review is also on other processors...
First time building a PC, I want to have an RX480 build. I am just concerned about the motherboard compatibility with the RAM and CPU, and if the CPU is good enough for the build (I am very unfamiliar with AMD cpus)

Would THIS be a good replacement CPU?
What are you hoping to do with it? I definitely going with an AMD processor with that price range, as you'll get a better bang for your buck. If you want a lot of processing power, and don't need a super fancy motherboard, I'd recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-6-Core-Processor/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427230753&sr=8-1&keywords=AMD+cpu

Let me know what you're looking for, and I'd love to help you out! I build computers for a living, so I'd love to help :). You could also go to http://www.facebook.com/vipertechcomputerservices, and I'll definitely see any messages there. Thanks! :D
If you buy everything from Newegg, it would be more expensive

So, only buy the DVD drive and the motherboard from Newegg, for others, buy at the stated vendor.
If you don't have a Mircrocenter nearby, you can buy the FX-6300 at Amazon
I would probably go with this
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-M5A97-R2-0-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B008V9959O/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1420081342&sr=1-2&keywords=asus+m5a97+r2.0+am3%2B+amd+970+sata+6gb+s+usb+3.0+atx+amd+motherboard http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-6-Core-Processor/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1420081322&sr=1-1&keywords=amd+fd6300wmhkbox+fx-6300+6-core+processor+black+edition
Ahh okay.
I just saw your motherboard, and thought "Damm, a shame it's only AM3 and not AM3+"
Just make sure your board is up to date with the newest BIOS update.
So, my new recommendation is:
85 on the FX-6300
http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX6300-Edition-4-1GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381223470&sr=8-1&keywords=fx-6300
Then spend the rest on more video card power. A 7950 should do. I was going to say R9 280x, but it's just a tad outside your pricerange.
Else the R9 270 is a great card too, i just can't find it on any european stores currently.
How old is your psu?
The 6300 is actually $4 cheaper from Amazon right now. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009O7YORK/?tag=pcpapi-20
For the CPU: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-Processor-Edition/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380807063&sr=8-1&keywords=FX-6300
Which would you recommend for the GPU?
AMD FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition I believe. Yes, it's using the stock but I was thinking of upgrading to one of those self-contained liquid cooling setups.
This for the best value to performace imo
there not going to have much of a difernce you could upgrade his cpu and motherboard for £150 the cpu has 6 cores instead of 4 and has a 4.1ghz boost clock but could be overclocked.

> Anyone know of an uber cheap 720p monitor I can get in-store somewhere? I’m reviving an old PC and don’t have a monitor to use (notice the laptop flair), I’ve got it working from what I can tell and I need a monitor. Can be any refresh rate above 30hz and any non-CRT tech for all I care, just like under $70 and can pick up at BestBuy, Walmart, Staples, Office Max, etc. ASAP. Mostly looking for 480p or higher, LCD or better, thinking mostly of 1280x720 or 1366x768 but I’ll take oddballs in the 20-24” range and 31+hz (no peasantry, not even in a build from 2006).
>
> I’m gonna keep the monitor so I can have it for using this PC as I’m planning on getting an actual gaming rig soon, which will have a much better monitor I just don’t want to use the same one for both. My dad already had this laying around and I have only spent $30 on parts so far, so hey why not, if I can get an LCD/LED in a usable resolution that the hardware can handle for emulators and early 2000’s games I will be really happy. It’s pretty much ready to go, just needs Windows 7 and a monitor, which is why I want to get the monitor in store ASAP.

> I just bought the Thermalright Macho Rev. B but the fan it comes with is literally just a few millimeters too wide to fit in my case with the side panel. The issue is that it is sandwiched in between my RAM and the side panel window so there’s no way to squeeze it in without potentially damaging something. Is there a way I could modify the fan so it fits? I have Corsair Vengeance RAM so the heat spreader isn’t even that tall.

Just a heads up, looks like that processor is on amazon for $100

I can't say for sure that this is a simple question, but I don't feel as though this requires it's own post.
I'm looking at upgrading my processor (an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T) but I don't know what I should upgrade to. After looking at benchmarks and prices I feel like [this] (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0087EVHVW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=ALMGMPH6QS3S&coliid=I2SLDP3JIS4Y1) would be a good idea, but I can't find a reasonable motherboard. They're either too expensive or don't have what I want, and the only ones that are ideal are out of stock. To add to that I would need new RAM as well, although at this point I'm wanting to get more RAM anyway.
I'm alternatively looking at just getting an AMD FX-6300, but it doesn't seem like it will be very future-proof.
Right now my specs are:
Another important detail is I'm Canadian, which means I'll be paying about 1.34x as much money as an american. I'm trying to budget, but can certainly afford to go crazy if ideal.
With all this in mind, do you think I should upgrade most of my system for a new processor? Or should I just get another AMD processor compatible with my current rig? Thanks in advance and sorry if it's too much to take in.
Wrote all this out for a friend and thought i would share. Seemed a shame to waste all that formatting.
MOBO: Asus M5A97 £69.49
CPU: AMD FX 6300 £86.95 (6-cores)
GPU: HD Radeon 7870 £140(This is a v good price for the card)
PSU: Corsair VX550 £45.70 (Never go cheap on PSU)
RAM: G-skill Ripjaw 2x4GB £55.98
Total: £398.09
You could buy a single 4Gb DIMM for cheaper to save money and buy another later.
I'm assuming you have a case you can use, any old thing is fine (and much cheaper).
Alternatively to save some money on the delivery costs you could buy this lot from Scan.co.uk:
4GB Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Jet Blac 1 £35.28
Asus M5A97 R2.0, AMD 970, S AM3+, D 1 £69.56
2GB MSI Radeon HD 7870 Overclocked, 1 £150.94
AMD FX 6300 Black Edition, Vishera, 1 £88.36
650W Aerocool Templarius Imperator 1 £46.38
----------------------------------------------------------
Net Total £322.79
Carriage £9.15
Scansure £12.19
Total £413.69
This includes an overclocked GPU and Single 4gb DIMM (Ram stick). It also has insurance for £10 that replaces any parts you may damage on building. The graphics card comes with AMD Silver reward, 2 free games from this list.
I would update the bios on that board and get a FX-6300 or a FX-8320e and a new GPU.
How about this

I see, so lots of cores is a good thing for this type of work, huh? Alright, so I looked up the AMD processors on this local website and found this one with 6 cores - AMD FX 6300 3.5Ghz BE SkAM3+ (also on Amazon), at 108€.
This should do the trick?
For RAM, 4 of these sounds alright? I don't usually go too high in layers though. Maybe 50~ max. But perhaps it's best to plan ahead and get it for if I do need it in the future.
Also, I must reiterate I don't intend to be able to play new games on max settings. I just want them to be playable on a basic level. I can do just fine without AA and some of the fancier settings. I'd prefer to get something just good enough and instead save the leftover money for other things I plan to get next, like the Cintiq. If somehow I could get all this by much lower than 700€, that'd be great. :p
I tried switching slots on my graphics card and made sure it was locked in. I dont think its the monitor , I've tried two different ones.-

May i need to get a brand new HDD thats for sure compatible instead of the old one which I dont know the model
I getcha. Think a 6 core will be good for a while?
You shouldn't have bought the FX-4100. It's outdated and not sufficiently more affordable than a Pildriver chip to merit purchasing.
Since you haven't put the build together yet return it and get an FX-6300 for $20 more.
Your memory is fine. I have a fairly similar rig ( your video card is better). I have the FX-6300 and Sapphire HD7870. I usually can run everything maxed at around 50-55fps, with occasional slow downs dropping me to the low 40's. This is in windowed mode, running 2 monitors, while watching streaming movies, and I usually have a fair bit of crap running in the background. I haven't oc'ed my system yet, even though it's supposedly easy to do; I just want to get quiet fans first, nothing big, just been putting it off. Not sure what I get fullscreen, guess I've forgotten. I've got stuff running for now. I'll edit in my full-screen info later, in case you just want to upgrade your cpu.
Edit:
I closed nearly everything. Full screen I was running at a smooth 60 mostly. ig mobs can make it flicker down to 53/54 occasionally; full-screen mobs can do the same to about 43/44fps, but not always.

You can bring down the case price definitely, and you could also look into getting a cheaper and/or mini ATX mobo. You could downgrade the CPU with an AMD FX-6300 which is still a great CPU and AM3+ socket.

Amazon is about $10 cheaper. Vishera isn't as bad as people are losing their shits over. I have an FX6300@5ghz. It isn't noticeably worse at gaming than my xeon e3-1230. The FX def has a couple worse fps dips in mass effect andromeda (the current game I'm playing and only real recent frame of reference) but the cores aren't even fully loaded on either chip anyway (the FX sits at around 60-70% per core, the xeon around 50%) with my r9 380x maxed out at 1080p begging for the release of sweet death. I'm sure it would be a lot more noticeable were I using a gtx 1070 or something against it, but I got the cpu with coupon stacking off newegg for $80 a couple years back, so like, managed expectations. You probably aren't pairing a $350-400 gpu with a $100 cpu. You are likely doing what I did and pairing it with a $180 gpu, in which case, it matters a whole lot less.
just a real quick question is this a good cpu or do I need one better
I would reccomend the Asus M5A97 R2.0 and the AMD FX 6300. Very overclockable and right on budget.
Disclaimer: I am by no means a pro, hopefully you will get some other responses from wiser HT builders.
I would suggest looking at these suggested builds (from this sub reddit's sidebar), might help visualize the pros and cons. Have you ever built a PC before? If not go over to /r/buildapc! Great community! It's not hard at all, I have built three! 730 is good! 6 or 8 ram will be better, but not vital. My first pc has an i3. Just depends on how many cores you want. I would suggest the new "hot" item right now, AMD's FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor. Of course this requires a motherboard that will support AMD CPUs. What's your budget? Hope I helped! :)
Edit: Use PC Part Picker!! I didn't know it existed till I upgraded my PC a couple of years ago. So helpful! You can compare prices from stores, make sure parts are atleast some what compatible, and making & comparing multiple builds and parts! They also have guides, tips and tricks, etc!
That console is pretty low end to be honest. The problems are the RAM (only 4GB), and the graphics for this says "Custom Nvidia Maxwell GTX CPU". I would go custom build, but you don't want to :(. There are very few good cheap prebuilt PC's
This is an ok prebuilt PC
Try pcpartpicker, ask on /r/buildapc. Custom built are really the way to go nowadays :).

It's a pretty decent build. Not great, but inside your price range. I know it's definitely better than that console.
If you want a decent gaming PC, check out the subreddit buildapc.
Let me just say that League is a really easy game to run at max settings.
You should be able to achieve this with an AMD processor and appropriate mobo.
Finish this with an R9 270X and you're saving a handful of cash.
Maybe the parts are slightly dated but it is something to consider if you want to save a bit.
This should do it for League at 1920 x 1080 resolution and 60fps.
If you would like to stick to what you already have, maybe start with only one stick of ram (8GB should be plenty) and get a similar tier GPU as mentioned above.
Nice! And that’s really odd. I actually found that cpu you recommended. It’s about 50 to 60. Here is a link of one, is it look something like this?

NOTES: This does not include the cost of HHD or SSD, Operating System, or peripherals. I leave this up to you depending on your needs but this is a solid base leaving room for more ram, hard drive etc. I wound up getting a headset, keyboard, mouse and webcam as well as a 1TB HDD wound up at $900ish range.
I've got my eyes set on this for far;
http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX6300-Edition-4-1GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YORK
You'd probably be better served with the higher multi-threaded performance of the FX-6300 if you're gonna be using it for programming, so that's the first thing I would change. You could also take advantage of the low prices Amazon is having on it right now for only $99 when it's usually $110-120.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009O7YORK/?tag=pcpapi-20
With that obviously comes a change of motherboard, so you could pick up an ASRock 960GM/U3S3 which is pretty cheap at $54 and comes with USB 3.0 and SATA 3.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157323&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
As for the SSD, you can get it cheaper elsewhere. SSDs are so ridiculously fast that telling the difference in games or applications between one and the other is nearly impossible so I would just go with how cheap you can get it per GB. You could get either the PNY Optima 240GB for $90/$70AR or the MX100 256GB for $103.

The graphics card is something you should definitely change too as you can get much better for the money, like the Radeon R7 265. It costs $15 more but beats it hands down when it comes to performance.

That's what I recommend you change.

I am currently running an AMD Athlon II X3 455, which is a slight step up from the 450 you mention. It isn't a bad processor and it still performs well for me with my 550 ti card, but it's both quite outdated and not too great to begin with.
If it has to be between those processors I would go with the Phenom II X4 925 so you have some sort of longevity, but a newer processor is much better. The AMD FX-6300 is cheaper than the Phenom and should perform substantially better, plus it runs on the AM3+ socket if you have an older motherboard and don't want to upgrade.
If you are willing to purchase a new motherboard and spend a bit more on the processor, the Intel i5-4460 will likely get you even better lasting performance, though this comparison actually marks it as fairly close to the FX-6300, so perhaps it isn't worth the extra money.
I hope I was helpful, good luck with your build!
Edit: Looking at the link provided by /u/Feedel_Casthrow, it seems that the Athlon X3 450 may actually be the better pick, especially considering the cost difference. I would still side with the AMD FX-6300 over either option though.
I've heard the PSU should be at least 500W for the new graphics card so I may just upgrade that to be safe, my CPU is http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX6300-Edition-4-1GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YORK
amazon has the fx 6300 for 6 dollars more.
http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-Processor-Edition/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416801388&sr=8-1&keywords=fx6300
Also get less ram, get 8GB and get a better motherboard.
The FX-6300 is on sale for $80 so right now might be a good time to jump. The special ends in 7 hours on Amazon.
Here is a cheaper one
I built my rig for CEMU. Start with a FX4300 [email protected] (before multi core recompiler comes out)
I was playing Dolphin & MAME32 and CEMU (BOTW > 40FPS @ 900p) with a GTX 950.
​
Bought few months ago a FX4600 oc @4.6GHz and upgrade to a GTX970.
Most games run at fullspeed (MK8...), BOTW @2K 45 static FPS (fullsync@GXDrawDone enabled) see results here.
​
Cemu needs 6 cores to run in Triple mode recompiler correctly (i know that many post talk about 5 cores but i hardly think that is 6 : 3 CPU, 1 GPU, 1 audio, 1 controller emulation ? ). So if you go for an Intel CPU, you'll need at least an i7. And mostly, take a K serie (not locked) to overclock it !
Otherwise even with a good i7, you'll struggle to reach my current rig performances ! (with a same GPU)
​
FX4600 : 60$ brand new and good CPU cooler for example ARTIC A32 (>250W TDP, fx6300 is 95W TDP) to reach 4.5GHz oc without any issue.
​
For The GPU, i think a 970 is the great deal (> 1050ti) and cheapest in used condition.
​
What ever your choice will be, take care of bottleknecking, make simulations here : http://thebottlenecker.com/

I'm using it for gaming.
Also I'm planning on playing Dishonored 2, but on the sys req my CPU is outdated, should I get a new one? Also, does my motherboard support this CPU?

Ya alright, I found this one for $20 more but the benchmarks are much higher. Ill update the post
New Motherboard: AsRock 970 Pro3 ($90)
New CPU: AMD FX-6300 ($120)
New GPU: Radeon R9 270 ($180)
You could also upgrade your RAM, but 4gigs will probably still work fine for GTA V.
Yo what is this article, it's made a list of the top 5 pre-built gaming PC's and they are all by the same brand, are they just the only competitive pre-built manufacturer?
Anyway, quick amazon US search (amazon isn't even the cheapest place for a lot of these parts) shows that all those parts are worth maybe 460 dollars (plus a case and windows which you can get for free) they also don't list any of the models/brands so I assume that means they are terrible, on the amazon search I get legit brands like EVGA for the PSU.

You said you don't have a lot of money so I would definitely just build your own, other people have linked to subreddits that can tell you what components are best for the money for what you're going to be using it for, wouldn't be surprised if you could be playing CS:GO at 300 fps on a 450 dollar computer. When you buy a pre-built you are basically paying the manufacturer an extra 30% for them to build it for you, which is like 150 dollars in this case, for what would take you a couple of hours, idk anyone who's time is worth that much, you also lose the ability to save money by cutting costs in certain areas, you don't need a sick GPU to play CS:GO afaik for example.
Ahhh okay, and realized i linked the graphics card twice rather than linking the cpu, is this the cpu you meant? http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX6300-Edition-4-1GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1411136970&sr=1-1&keywords=6300+am3
right now: Dead r.i.p in piece (and i'm not counting my laptop)
but, i have ordered new parts, all arrived but the motherboard was DOA so i'm waiting on a new one to be sent (the company collected it yesterday and anre gonna test it and whatnot)
the parts i have ordered/ parent's brought for me as I didn't have all too much money:
CorsairCX600M
AMD FX-6300
Gigabyte 970A-DS3P (Given by parents)
8GB ram 1600 MHz (Given by parents)
Gigabyte 7850
1TB HD Seagate
it should all be here by next week and it's gonna be awesome. I can post old specs if people want, butt let's just say this is going to be a massive improvement
oh and i'm gonna buy an ssd wheh i have the money, probs a samsung one
Thanks, but new-egg does not ship to South Africa. I found the stuff you mentioned on amazon ( which is just much easier for us saffers) Just want to double check with you, kind stranger:
FX-6300
Micro ATX
http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-6-Core-Processor/dp/B009O7YORK?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
O, figgured I would tell you the rest of my specs, if it matters.
CPU = FX-6300
GPU = Gigabyte AMD R9 380 4GB
Mobo = GIGABYTE GA-970-Gaming
Ram = 2x4gb Patriot Viper Xtreme
Stay the hell away from the Mobo. It is horrid with linux (as well as Win7/10 unless you install the drivers, so hard to install Win too :( ), the damn USB ports are finicky as hell, by default %99 of the time the USB ports don't work at all on boot, and you have to move them around till one does work. Passing "iommu=soft" on boot 'fixes" this, but it still has some issues.
For $6 more, you can get an FX 6300 on Amazon which has equivalent performance to an i5-34xx.
A good deal, but a more up to date version is around the same price right now
http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX6300-Edition-4-1GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397140045&sr=8-1&keywords=fx6300
Honestly If you're trying to budget;
Looking at approx 250 for upgrades in total. You can browse around and find cheaper prices, but that's what I use. Suits me just fine.
AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition by AMD http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_5lUttb0XYYYDA.
Was considering this CPU?
I think amazon ships to Ireland for free?
But if not you should be able to get something similar from dabs for slightly more money.
Anyway just take this as a general guide and ask again just before you buy as prices change all the time.
ASRock 960GM/U3S3 FX Motherboard £41.08
Corsair Builder Series CXM 430W Modular Power Supply
£36.73
Gigabyte AMD R9 270 OC 2GB Graphics Card £131.98
WD 1TB 3.5 inch Internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue £42.99
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium OEM £59.99
Zalman T3 Mini M-ATX/M-ITX Tower Case £19.36
AMD FX6300 CPU £80.99
Total: £413.12 = €493.93
This build should play most new games at 60FPS high settings and gives great value for money.
When you have €100 spare get this SSD. Well worth the money in my opinion. Or if you can't get that much money together get this 120gb, €60 one. But its worse value for money as the euro per gigabyte is worse.
One thing i see right off the top is that the proc you picked is an all in one, so it includes a GPU on it as well, so thats a bit unnecessary. Also, you need to at least know the mobo you have, before you you look at replacing the proc. Since you have a case listed, I'm going to assume you're looking to replace both.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009O7YORK is the proc i just upgraded too, it's on the latest (afaik) AMD socket, am3+, so you'd be looking for a mobo that is of that socket type, such as http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-970A-D3-AM3-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B0056G10WK/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top (the one i have)
also amazon has it for $109 new with free shipping, http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-Processor-Edition/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top. idk i could do $80
Ciao, come hanno già detto gli altri, assemblare il pc da soli è fondamentale per chi ha un budget.
Assemblarlo da soli può essere un problema per chi non ha esperienza, ma è facilmente risolvibile grazie all'aiuto di un amico o documentandosi su internet.
Inizia cercando delle guide su google. Ti linko questa guida che ho trovato su youtube, grazie a questo video ho assemblato il mio primo pc due settimane fa.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIPUkapmSwA
Per quanto riguarda la lista dei componenti eccoti una lista fatta da me. Ho scelto i pezzi scegliendo quelli che offrono il miglior rapporto qualità prezzo.
Tieni a mente che il prezzo totale può oscillare in base alle perifiche che già possiedi o meno, e che i prezzi dei singoli componenti oscillano di continuo e che i prezzi riportati fanno riferimento al momento in cui ho stilato la lista
CPU AMD-FX-6300 110,28 €
SCHEDA MADRE ASUS M5A78L-M LX3 39 €
RAM Kingston HyperX Fury Memorie DDR-III da 8 GB 32,99€
SCHEDA VIDEO MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 750Ti 124,21 €
CASE NOX NXPAX 31,78
HARD DISK SEAGATE DA 2 TB 62,99 €
ALIMENTATORE CORSAIR VS550 48,99 €
ADATTATORE WIRELESS TP-Link TL-WDN4800 18,49 €
SISTEMA OPERATIVO WINDOWS 10 PRO 25,99 €
Tot.: 494,77
OPZIONALE:
LETTORE CD /DVD/ BLU RAY ASUS BLU RAY COMBO 65 €
Se ti servono anche perifiche come mouse, tastiera e schermo ti consiglio di non comprare la scheda video. Potrai sempre acquistarla in seguito non appena avrai messo qualche altro euro da parte.
That gpu will but I'm not so sure about the cpu, you could splash a little more and go for an fx-6300 which I can personally say can run gta v.
Maybe get a 6300 to pass you over until Zen comes?
$100USD on Amazon
For the FX 6300 no, for Zen yes. 6300 OCed is just as good in most ways as the 8350 with two less cores (even has the same cache size). The FX 6300 is also [dirt cheap] (https://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-6-Core-Processor/dp/B009O7YORK) now.
http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-Processor-Edition/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1405014359&sr=8-3&keywords=amd+cpu
to how bout this one? the 8320 is a bit expensive and i don't mind it being quad core
http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Quad-Core-A8-Series-A8-6600K-AD660KWOHLBOX/dp/B00CPLGGWS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
it should. When it comes to pc gaming the video card is pulling almost all the weight. But if you want to play it safe you can always go with this
http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-Processor-Edition/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1404759892&sr=8-2&keywords=amd+fx
That CPU is AM3+ so make sure to get the appropriate motherboard. Also I would suggest with going with a Micro ATX format since they tend to be less expensive
if you have a job it shouldn't be too much of an issue. you must have a substantially awful processor to not be able to run steam and origin. i'm not trying to be insulting or anything, that's just kinda the truth. the FX-6300 might even be overkill.
If you already have the windows disc then the Windows install is free. You can definitely built a gaming PC for $500. $400? Nah probably not. But, to be fair, they sell the consoles at a loss. But the one you build for 500m it will perform better than both consoles, but not by a lot. You'd have to be very picky with parts.
Case Mobo CPU Ram SSD for OS Storage Drive Graphics card [Power Supply] (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-80PLUS-Certified-ATX12V-100-W1-0500-KR/dp/B00H33SFJU/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1414218841&sr=1-1&keywords=500watt+psu)
That's less than $500. Not the most fantastic build but yes, you could game on this.
(I should buy this and test it out.....)
A lot of people are suggesting you build a pc, and I suggest you to build one too! My previous PC Build was good enough to run iRacing and, Including a BenQ monitor, cost around the £600 mark. I'll post my specs however some of the parts may be discontinued so I'll try and source similar components if they are.
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P
AMD (Piledriver) FX-6300 3.50GHz
ASUS GTX 750Ti
Ballistix Sport 8GB (2x4GB)
500W EVGA 80+ White Rated PSU
DVD Re-Writable(For Installing Windows)
1TB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive
BitFenix Comrade Midi Tower
BenQ 22inch Monitor
Let me know if want any of the peripherals(Keyboard/Mouse etc) aswell
Total Cost = ~£543
You might be able to find components cheaper on different websites, especially American based ones(NewEgg).
As for assembly, I followed a tutorial from popular Battlefield YouTuber, JackFrags. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WQxr59KRto He uses old components but the build is more or less the same than the specs above.
You also may want to upgrade the Graphics Card, RAM or CPU. I recently upgraded the 750Ti to a 1060 3GB, FX 6300 to a FX 8350 and RAM by an extra 8GB. Remember, if you do upgrade anything like this, you will most likely need a bigger PSU.
Have fun building :P
Edit: As Raptord put, you should also think about getting a Ryzen CPU. But keep in mind, you would need to get a different motherboard as Ryzen uses an alternative socket to AM3+
