Hello,

I know there has been a lot of these threads recently so bare with me.
I'm building up a PC from a CPU i got from Little*Freak. It's going to be used for basic word documents internet surfing that kind of stuff, maybe a little bit of Minecraft when my cousins come over.

CPU: AMD FX 4130
GPU: AMD HD7850

We have loads of HDD's and stuff this will just be the tower.

This is what i have come up with:
YOUR BASKET
1 x **B Grade** Gigabyte 970A-DS3P AMD 970A (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard £38.99
1 x Corsair Builder Series CX 430W V2 '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020046-UK) £36.95
1 x Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9) £35.99

I don't see it not working. not going to be pretty tho

 

[stulid]

That should work, not pretty but works.

Doesn't have to look pretty, as long as it will work, that's all im worried about!

 

[Aston998]

Yes thats very true We was just saying

 

[savagesam117]

Yes thats very true We was just saying

I know, i didn't mean it in a horrible way. It's not my PC who cares what it looks likes!

 

[Aston998]

No worries Yes thats very true, When are you going to get it?

 

[savagesam117]

It'll probably be on payday. But i need to speak to my mum first, she's paying for it so i'll have to double check with her. but you can't really complain for £150!

 

[Aston998]

Ah okay! If i can be more help let me know!! Yes its good for £150.

What about a cheap GPU? Kinda similar to my 7850. I don't really want to waste that card on them.

 

[Aston998]

How much would you want to spend on the GPU?

 

[Aston998]

(Sorry for all the question)

 

[savagesam117]

How much would you want to spend on the GPU?

It's fine. And I don't know about £80? That's about the price of the 7850 these days. I need the MM

 

[Aston998]

You could use the on board one? The only part it might find hard is playing Minecraft.

It has onboard? i didn't think AMD had onboard unless it was an APU CPU thingy?

 

[stulid]

No onboard with these.

 

[Aston998]

Oops No it does not! Teach me to read 1st Let me do some research and find you one.

Sorry!!

I'd advise a PSU change too:


YOUR BASKET
1 x EVGA 430W 80 Plus Power Supply (100-W1-0430-KR) £32.99

http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=100-W1-0430-KR

But the problem with both is that they only have 1 x PCI-E connector, so upgrading to a card requiring two power connectors would be tricky-ish. So in my opinion, spend a little extra and get a 450W/500W PSU with two power connectors. Otherwise get the EVGA 430.

Yeah i'm not happy with corsair tbh. Everything i've read is that they've done down hill big time. So i'm more than happy to go to the EVGA. And my 7850 only has 1 6 pin PCI-e connector on it.

And it's cheaper!

1 x Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 AMD 760G (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard £47.99
