So I will finally build a decent gaming pc and I thought people good give me so tips. CPU: AMD fx6300 (will OC) GPU: MSI R9 270 (will OC) PSU: EVGA 500W 80plus bronze CASE: Corsair Carbide Spec 01 MOBO: Gigabyte 970A-DS3P RAM: 2x4GB Kingston Fury red 1866 Mhz DDR3 Will consider an ssd later So the only thing i am not sure about is if the motherboard is capable for overclocking and which is a good solution for cheap cooling. edit:I noticed i fucked up the title
fantastic cooler as for the motherboard, it'll be fine, I'm using the 970A-UD3P board, runs fantastically, not too sure on OC though
I wanna be able to OC because its my first pc build and i want to experiment a lot with everything.I will probably get that cooler.I cant really go over that bugdet.Btw is the r9 270 good for the latest games
How much is an R9 280 on the site? they're a step up and a bit faster than the 270, but if it's out of your price range then stick with the 270
Is that out of your budget? I'd seriously suggest the 280 as it's a great card but the 270 will do you fine
gtz 960 is 250 euros so nope.I was in a dilemma if i should get the 270 or 280 but with the 280 you get like 10-13 more fps in games but for that i will need a 600W SPU and thats the main reason i went with the 270,I thought if I OC the 270 the differencec will be even smaller on performance.
I have the same mobo, ram and cpu, except with an r7 250.. running bf3 4x aa med/high settings in 64 players with no struggle.. smooth as hell as always. So if you get an r9 270 you can expect to run anything I guess.
Awesome BUT i have done some calculations and the i need about 380 Watts for my system at peak so it wont reach that with regular gaming and I think that 500 Watt power supply is enough even for extreme CPU and GPU overclocking but the only thing i am not sure if the motherboard is capable of that.
