Potential PC Builds.

[Arctic]

I've narrowed it down to these 3 builds with the help of a friend that knows PC building well.
 
Build 1 - Intel i5 build: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/L4RZVn
 
Build 2- AMD FX-8320 build: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/w3cWgs
 
Build 3 - Using already owned AMD FX-6300 build: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/G6nZVn
 
I have 2 HDD's totaling 1.75 TB of storage space as well as a 2 x 4 GB set of the RAM used in all 3 above builds which aren't included there.
 
Rationale behind the AMD builds - I play H1Z1 and with my FX-6300 and a GTX 750Ti I get around 40-90 FPS so it's more likely that the GPU is the limiting factor. Also the 240mm radiator should make up for the higher heat output on the FX series CPU's.
 
Please vote on which build you think is fine for the uses below.
 
I will typically be doing all of these at the same time.
 
- Running about 10 Chrome tabs.
- Running Skype & any of these 3 voice chat softwares: Teamspeak/Curse/Discord.
- H1Z1.
 
 
 
Or if you think you can put together a better PC for $1400-1500 AU then give it a shot using this website: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

why did you hide the previous topic

- Running about 10 Chrome tabs.

- Running Skype & any of these 3 voice chat softwares: Teamspeak/Curse/Discord.

- H1Z1.

 

$1400-1500

 

 that doesn't require much at all, 1400-1500 is OVERKILL

 

 

edit: amd videocard for $479.00  ???just buy a gtx970 all you need, cheaper and very, very  powerfull

drop the ssd and water cooler and invest into a better cpu (the gpu 390 is pretty good), you don't really need an ssd since you have HDD and your on a budget and if you do go with 8320 is totally fine I personally have one myself, but I do think you should go with the newest gen I5 unlocked

[Keven]

8320 in this case because it has an ssd.

[Sky]

Why don't you salvage the parts you already have i.e the ssd & case.

 

I would always keep 1TB hdd and add the ssd because 120gb is so limited but is a game changer.

 

doing that you can invest in better parts. And you have some different investment ideas. ie you spend a lot in the processor when it's not really going to be doing much

 

but all the well, everything should be capable of running what you're asking it to do

I just bought a new pc and its same processor as the 1 u mentioned

[iJodix]

You might want to consider going for i7 2600k as it leeds less power and performs better overall then a amd fx 8320 and the price is pretty much the same, amazon sells it @ 239$.

i-5 4590 + basics essentials + ~200$ or more gpu (970+) = ur pc

[Impensus]

Vouching for the power of a gtx 970 here it's worth it. Also if you can wait until the new pascal cards come out, the 970 will likely drop in price or you could get a beastly pascal card

Why do people keep telling me things with better pricing even though they are thinking US and I linked the Australian PC part picker and said $1400-1500 AU

because, surprise surprise, Australia has the exact same symbol ($) as america, which is what you think when you see a dollar sign.. either America or Australia  is dumb as shit to have the same currency symbol as another country

 

when you visit a web shop you assume it's dollars when you see $

 

hurr durrr

 

 

Europe: €

England: £

America: $

 

and so on
