Ok so im trying to build a dirt cheap gaming machine and the motherboard only has PCIe 1.0a speed. How much will it affect my performance?
Specs
PSU: 2 300w PSU
CPU: Intel® Xeon® Processor X5482 x2
Motherboard: GU083 Dell Precision 490
RAM: 16GB DDR2 RAM
CASE: Dont know yet
GPU: Thinking 780 Ti (For Dirt cheap system Expensive GPU, Any other recommendations.)
Thanks in Advance
What's your budget?
how much it wil effect performance is hard to say.
But a 780Ti will definitely not working well on that old hardware.
Basically Cheap but fast since my gaming laptop broke. Price to fix the Laptop ~$500-$600 minimum. So around there.
Any Recommendations? Will be playing games like FO4, Skyrim, Just Cause 3, etc.
Why would you get a used PC for that? Is that not USD?
i5 + 380 will have higher average frame rates in CPU bound games, i3 +390 can push higher resolutions and settings

Alright thx. Just trying to spend cheap.
Well then get an APU Rig for like $250 that will get around 30fps@1080p and 60fps@720p
maybe add a case

Are you on Vessel?
yes
Then you would know it certainly bottlenecks the GPU but how much depends on the multi-threading support on a game to game basis
It wont work. Nvidia would not allow the GPU to intialize itself below 2.0 x4 or x8 in an x16 slot
Not bad except for the GPU. I'd recommend grabbing a different brand. I had a really bad experience with the 390. Had four DOA on me and the fifth only lasted about two weeks. After that I got a refund and went with a XFX. Though this may have been a rash of bad luck.
Thank You thats what i needed to know.
OK so that build is a no go, but modifying @Streetguru's build this might work. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/QPNBkL. Below $500 is nice and with dedicated graphics. Anything wrong with this build?
Just throw a 380 into the i3 build instead of doing that, that build is meant to stay at around $250-300 unless you want a specialized GPUless build in a super ITX rig in something like this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108416
dual core is not much of a option for me at all.
It's hyperthreaded and ends up outperforming an FM2+ quadcore overall, it used to be that an i3 was around $120 so it wasn't worth getting, but now that the price is down to $100, it's simply not worth it to get the 860K over it
ill probably deal with it because it is currently a all AMD build and HT is so so for me. its usefull when it is needed but 4 cores is better for my workload.
