Good Build?

Hardware Hub Build a PC
1

I recently posted a thread on a pc that i want to build and i got some good replies but i wanted to see if i could squueze in some better performance out of $390 ish

I already have a case a hardrive and a os, that is something to keep in mind

That seems like pretty solid build but my main concern for you would be space and air flow as well as the DDR3 being 1600. I'd move up to 1833 or 2166 if you plan on gaming and you could honestly find a better GPU as well. Besides that, I would get a few extra fans to add in to increase airflow and keep things cooler. I'm not sure what case you have, but unless its quite large, I could foresee cooling and airflow issues. Other than that its a nice pick. Just remember, the cooler the better, and keep in mind the use of the PC.

There is minimal benefit to wasting money on higher than 1600MHz RAM... I think it's only like <1 FPS between 1600MHz and 2400MHz if I remember correctly. No point wasting money there on such a tight budget when he could use it to bump up the GPU or something.

@OP solid build for £390

my case is pretty small and i only have one fan could you give me a list of parts similar but to where i would also have a case and  a fan for the same price?

Not upgradeable to Kaveri, though.

Thank you but is the build good at all for gaming

a 7870 is a lot better than a 7770 for sure, here is what you should expect

Logan's stated that the apu quad cores are decent with dedicated GPUs so I'll take his word for it

also all of the builds on here's base total was 450 they just take out pain in the ass mailin rebates that take for gawd damn ever, if at all

of course but that really isnt in my budget

Your motherboard isn't in the price lol.

would be better.

15

thank you for that but i did change the case to the source 210

16

The motherboard was small, so I went with a smaller form factor.

If you like the Source 210, go for it.
