im am working on my first build and i ran in to a snag i baught the thermaltake commander ms-i snow and the case only came with two standoffs im freacking out so far i have my Mobo,ram,HDD,case,and psu i really need help and i don't know that CPU that i should go with i have an fm2 Mobo i was thinking of going with the AMD a-10 6800k , Or the amd althon x4 760k<--- with 7770
SPECS Of what I have
Mobo- Msi-FM2-A75MA-E35
PSU-Raidmax 500w 80+ bronze
Case-Thermaltake commander ms-i snow
Ram- Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 1866
HDD-1tb WD black
the GUP i was thinking about
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150598 anything under this or like $20 more i can do Thx
that's the same case i have, you don't use standoffs, the board screws right to the case
Thanx you i was feaking out and as for the GPU im going with the 2nd one you suggest
so what to do about the 2 standoffs
idk, i had no idea what they were for, they're both sitting in a baggie full of spare screws
one more thing is the GPU i was thinking about is it bad?
what do you mean bad? if you mean the 7770, no it isn't bad, but a 7790 is better for just a few dollars
So will a evga work as well ?
evga only makes nvidia cards, best would be a 650 ti boost, i don't know how it compares to a 7790 off the top of my head
edit: a 650ti boost is better than a 7790, but evga costs a bit more, for the price of an evga 650ti boost you could get a 7850, which would be a bit better
basically
- performance: 7790<650 ti boost< 7850
- price: 7790<650 ti boost< 7850< evga 650 ti boost (based on quick price checks, your results may vary)
Thanx EVGA to much $$$ looking for something cheap that will give me good FPS but for under $120
