Help me finalise my build

ElvosGamingPC

Hi guys,


Well I'm ordering my pc in the next week and I would like you to help finalise it and/or edit to perfect it.

I am working on a 920 euro budget, odd number I know, lol.

All I need I need is a graphics card and a case.

Here is my current setup-

Incase you can't see the image it totals to around 670 so im left with 250

Image link here for anybody wondering.

To start off you could save €24 on the PSU getting this instead. You could free up another €37 by swaping in the FX8320, with a little light overclocking you can make this a stock FX8350 (And a bit higher if you want). The board isn't really suitable for crossfire/sli anyway so a single card PC doesn't need a 650W PSU.

Without a 990 board you won't get the max out of the chip, but a conservative yet still decent 4.2- 4.4 should be doable with the 970 based Extreme3, still I wouldn't push the voltages too hard without a good 990 board.

You could even chop off another €30 again with the FX6300 which is perfectly fine gaming CPU

By my calculations the above changes would leave you with about €310 for the case and GPU (€340 with the FX6300), so something like the GTX 760 and a nice quiet case like the Deep Silence 2. Alternatively you could get a decent €50 case like the 200R and a r9 280x (Which I think is what I would do tbh)

I'm gonna go with a 300r instead of the 200r.

The problem now is that the 280x is out of stock everywhere, and i'd like to order it in the next couple of days

So whats a good card instead of 280x or you might know where to purchase oneso please let me know.

And thanks for the help and reply )

No the cooler will have some paste, a GTX 770 is the closest equivelant but a bit dearer on average. Other than that have a look on Pixmania, amazon for R9 280x. Can look on overclockers, scan, aria, dabs, elara etc as well but they usually suffer from one or both of higher prices and shipping costs for a single item.
