Need Help with a pc build

YanisSprunks

Hey guyz i want to build a pc and contently its a pickle. my budget is about 500-550 i want to use the pc for gaming but after searching for value and finding components im still at around 600. Could you take a look at this build and tell me how can i reduce cost but keep same-ish specs on the build?

This is my basket in Dabs.ie

Proc - - AMD FX-6100 AM3+ 3.3GHz 14MB 95W -

Motherboard - Gigabyte 970A-DS3 AM3+ AMD 970 DDR3 ATX

Ram - Corsair 4GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 Vengeance Low Profile Black Performance Desktop Memory Module

Videocard Gigabyte ATI Radeon 7870 HD 1100MHz 2GB PCI-Express 3.0 HDMI OC

Cooler - Zalman Silent CPU Cooler with Pure Copper & 92mm Fan

Case - Best Value Midi-TowerCase +500W PSU (USB 2.0 + HD Audio)

Hdd - Seagate 500GB Barracuda SATA-600 7200RPM 16MB 3.5" Hard Drive

SSD - Kingston 60GB SSDNow V300 SATA3 2.5" 7MM solid state drive

So Build comes out at 601.18. in Dabs.ie

I know the motherboard has built in usb 3.0 and case comes with 2.0 but a mid tower with 500w psu for 25euro is the cheapest i could find.

so anyone ?

Forgot to add That my monitor is 1366x768 so would i be able to get away with a cheaper video card and still do most games at high setting and good fps ?

Changed the AMD FX-6100 AM3+ 3.3GHz 14MB 95W - to AMD Vishera
FX-6300 Back edition

Dropped the cooler i can overclock later

and Changed the Gigabyte ATI Radeon 7870 HD 1100MHz 2GB PCI-Express 3.0 HDMI OC to Amd Radeon 7770 1gb ddr5 and it costs me 496euro. all i need now is a confirmation from an expert that i wont have any troubles with this rig.

You should probably pick up a more reliable PSU as most that come bundled with cases are crap,You could probably get better value on hardwareversand.de.

+1 to that, any case that comes bundled with a PSU is usually not worth using. Super Flower do a good 450w unit thats pretty cheap too, pair that with a Bitfenix Merc Alpha and you'll have a much more reliable PSU and it will all still be within budget !

I had a case 8 years ago that came with a PSU, I had nothing but problems. Computer would randomly power off, I always assumed it was the CPU fail safe kicking in. Eventually figured out it was the PSU, lost a hard drive over it ...

Beno619, have you ordered from that crowd personally. I am also building a new system and they are very cheap, just want to know if they are reliable.

(not sure maybe 500w would do but what if i want to overclock and upgrade later i will have to buy a new one)

This build Cost me 475.36 150euro cheaper than before and seems better and il have money left for a keyboard and a mouse. what to you guys think. any problems with this as a build ? ? and i chose dabs over hardware.de because of the free delivery and also it seems cheaper by comparison.

Yeah just checked fully . this build works out at 550euro + delivery in hardwaresand.de and the processor is ordinary 6300 not black edition vishiera so it is not cheaper.

Go for a quality PSU 80 + or 80 plus Bronze.

But if later i want to upgrade or overclock i would have to get a stronger psu
even if i just upgrade video card to a GForce which uses 2x more then radeon alone

Serephucus

Well if you're looking at it that way...

The above will cover you for any single GPU setup you can think of. If you're getting a PSU with the intention of upgrading and overclocking, then I'd look at something like that.
