~$950 Aus Budget Build, Need Feedback!

Hardware Hub Build a PC
1

Hey guys i've spent long time working on this and getting a lot of help from people here especially a shoutout to 'Sheepinacart' for helping me out a ton.

We've finally come across this final build and i would love to here feedback and/or suggestions before i buy it.

here it is : http://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/Yooittee/saved/2QvI

I'm also buying two extra fans, WiFi and 2 SATA Cables. I already have a HDMI cable and if their is anything else i need please let me know! Thanks in advance!

 

 

IF anyone is interested in doing this build. I'm buying from pccasegear.com.au and in total with the extras and shipping/insurance etc it comes to $1070.

I would continue to keep an eye out for GPU deals. I have seen a lot of cards for just a few dollars more that are better than the 660

if you haven't already bought the stuff, you may want to take a look at this rig. The gpu is better, although the case is less of an extreme asthetic. Also, i wouldn't restrict to those places for buying. you can get a pretty great deal from other places, and limiting to those places will limit how good of parts you get. ultimately, if you really want to limit to those places, your build will likely cost less than the one i put together.

this is a great deal on newegg right now its 650w modular psu

Pssst!

This guy's in AUS.

MoBo and RAM change.

Better motherboard, higher clocked RAM that's cheaper.

Sorry guys i forgot to update the graphics card that i am getting which is now in this build.

Is this motherboard not good enough? Because if it isn't i will cut down on my case and PSU to 500W to boost up the MoBo ?

for some reason the link is giving me some command prompt thing saying it can't find whatever file.  try the permalink in the top left corner.

It has a meager 4+1 power phase design that I would only recommend for up to something like an FX-6350.  The one I've recommended has a 6+2 power phase design that is much stronger, and can handle the FX-8350 along with some overclocking.

cheaper PSU, but still of decent quality:

this is what i'm up to now. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/Yooittee/saved/2QNT 

i'm looking to buy this, would this be good for games like WoW and LoL? also watching 1080p streams etc.

 

12

if i go your build http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/241FB

it's a extra $120 i'm not really up for.

but this http://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/Yooittee/saved/2QNT is in my budget just nicely.

Swap the GTX 760 in your build with my HD 7950 if you want.  They perform the same.  I like the HD 7950 due it's 3GB of VRAM.

14

okay i did. Just because 3GB VRAM!! :)

http://www.pccasegear.com/sc/At1 can you check this for me please? and the 7950 says "double dissipation" is that fine? lol

please suggest another RAM on www.Pccasegear.com.au so i don't have to buy from another site, preferably 95-115$

15

check your other thread for my reply!

"Double Dissipation" is just a marketing term.  It just has better cooling than other 7950s with one fan.

16

Just double checking, so this will be able to run League of Legends and World of Warcraft etc on max settings 60fps+ ? :D

and with the graphics cards is the Vram better then a higher base clock etc?

17

Should be able to, if you're playing at around 1080p.

For Vram and base clocks and stuff, it really depends.  Different architectures have different characteristics.

In general, higher clocks are faster, and more VRAM helps with higher resolutions.  Having more VRAM also helps because games can learn to optimize for more VRAM.  Most games right now optimize for around 2GB of VRAM, but as we can see with BF4, 3GB is recommended.

alright thanks heaps man. I'll be buying this build in a few days! :)
