Need Some Opinions.
Hey guys, so, I'm on the fence on whether to get a gaming PC or not, as I've been for months. Right now, I'm trying to decide to go with the XBOX One at $500, or dig a little deeper and grab a PC. I know the PC is probably better for graphics and other things, but I'm not sure I want to pay a lot more.
Long story short, I found a guide for building PCs (keep in mind that I don't know the first clue to PC components), and saw this as a budget option.
Motherboard
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ ($76)
CPU
AMD FX-6100 ($120)
RAM
Patriot Viper Xtreme 4GB (DDR3 1600 MHz) ($30)
Video Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST Superclocked 2GB ($160)
Hard Drive
Western Digital Blue 500GB (7200 RPM, 16MB Cache) ($55)
Optical Drive
Lite-On DVD Burner ($18)
Case
Cooler Master Elite 430 Mid Tower ($50)
Power Supply
Corsair CX430 V2 Series 430 Watt ($50)
I figured I would reach out to you guys on here, as I would like to know if these are decent parts for a gaming PC. I know, since It's a budget PC, that I'll be needing to upgrade soon, and that's fine. I just need something that will run most games decently until around the middle of next year that won't give me too much of a problem.
Figured I would come here since a lot of people here are PC gamers, so what are your opinions on this build?
Thanks,
LV
