I just ordered parts for my main build, and I have been doing upgrading along the way. I found myself practically building new pc. So I was going to build the other one to sell and need some help.
The parts I currently have
AM3 + Motherboard (ASRockN68-VS3 FX)
8GB of 1333MHz Ram
GT 520 Graphics Card (Might wanna use in my main build for secondary monitor)
NZXT Gamma Case
480W PSU (non-modular)
I obviously need a proccessor,HDD, and possibly DVD Drive.
My question is what do you think would be a good choice of proccessor,HDD, and I was considering getting a blu ray for my main rig and just using my old one in this machine to sell.
for the procesor just get an amd either the a10 one logan put in his $350 vid or the fx6300 or the 4000(cant remember exact name ) for the hdd get a western digital blue or a seagate barracuda and u will prob want to upgrade that gpu to a radeon 7850,7870 or if u have the money a 7950 or a gtx 660 as for the optical drive it doesnt matter as long as it works :)
If you can find a cheap, used Phenom x6 1100T and Geforce GTX 560 Ti then plug in either a last-gen SSD like Samsung 830 or Crucial M4, it'll be a pretty good gaming rig that may sell for a decent amount if you can find a buyer.
unless you watch alot of blu-ray, it's not worth it to get a blu-ray player. dvd burners can still be useful, especially if you have older games, or other stuff that comes on cd or dvd
I just finished building a new system with the FX6300 and it works like a charm. The CPU was $139.00 Canadian. You cannot get better for the price in my opinion.
In my main rig I am using a GTX560Ti Limited Edition and have a water cooled FX-4100. Sounds like I should just finish upgrading my main rig and use my old parts in this new one im building.
