Athlon II any good for budget build?

Hi, I am building a gaming PC with NO intel branded parts. I think intel is overused and i jsut dont like it. Sue me. (Dont please) But currently its near $800 and i would like to make it cheaper heres the link:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FlqT Do with it what you will, Just dont hadd any HDD's or Intel Parts.

 

Thanks,

What Processor are you looking at exactly? i would go with at least a Phenom II CPU

Im new-ish to this so i just go with what fits the label

if money is a problem, that should work fine, but i would really recommend at least this

The Mobo i chose cant take it. :(

The build you made, you're putting money in the very wrong places for $800

When you want it cheaper than $800 then build a normal sized machine, funny how that logic works lol

 

Ahem. I said NO HDD's and i want it SMALL im a minimilist. Deal with it. :P (not to mention that that case it possably the most dissgusting this for cases ive ever seen)

I'll sue you.

I randomly picked out the case, use whatever you want.

A budget of $800 or less, you can fit in an ssd..but ssd's don't really provide a huge boost in gaming, so why burn a chunk of your budget on that

wanna be a minimilist? buy a mac

Trying to help you spend your money wisely, in terms of gaming, since you said you want a gaming pc

Why so hostle?

thats what i have now

Okay... I geuss if you are not gaming at all then those builds are okay. But for $800 you can get a 8core and a 7870.

Not being hostile, I just don't like it when people don't understand what they're doing and deny the right help.

You have a budget. It would be best to buy components that help you rather than being wasteful and buying liquid coolers for a low end CPU.

There's also an edit button to edit your post incase you type out a mistake and/or want to add more to the post

 

 

Yep! and i just type to fast.

here, a much nicer build then what you where looking at for 799.10

if you could squeeze a bit more get

its the best bang for the buck videocard period.


yes the ram i picked is slower, but, if you do as I suggest you will find the whole system preforms better(theres really little gain with am3+ by going about 1600 but this ram by many accts will do 1866 pretty easy) 


partition the drive with 160gb for windows and basic apps like office, the rest of the drive for games and downloads, install fancycache drive edition, give the drive 8gb worth of cache with delayed write enabled at the default 10 seconds.


this will give you much faster load times in games and apps(and even get you to desktop faster)


I use fancycache and it kicks ass.


and note: with this cooler you should be able to oc that 6300 to 4.5ghz or so easy, many will do 4.2-4.3 at default volts!!!

thanks

This is the build I came up with.

For your budget, an SSD isn't worth it. It won't help gaming performance whatsoever, it'll only make your games load a tad faster. And with the money you save, you could spend it elsewhere on something that would actually increase performance (like a better GPU, or a better CPU). 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GgBD  Hows this?

 You said in the original post you wanted a gaming PC

Listen to Matman and the people above, an ssd is NOT worth it for this price point, if you took out the liquid cooler, swapped out the ssd for a hdd (I'm sorry, but you're going to have to abandon this minimalistic idea) you'll be able to fit in a good graphics card and that's where you want to invest your money into.

EDIT:Invest more in the GPU why get an old 6570?

Forgot to take it out. And i thought i fixed the link.http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GgBD try that with the SSD i will switch it out.
