Need Advice on Everything!

Gaming experience its be affected by almost everything … GPU would be a big part of it, but processor, mobo and PSU also are pretty important, you cannot skimp on the PSU and also would need a decent processor and mobo for all the math, a SSD for the OS it's going to be quite excellent option and also decent cooling and case are required, keeping your processor chilled allows to get more from it, cable management it's pretty important for a appropriated airflow inside your case,

So its not going to about the GPU only....

Knowing that, then stop picking a GTX 750Ti. Gilbert you can keep making builds and asking if they're good forever but the thing is that you need help picking out a good gaming system. Go back and look at the build in post #25 from RCoon. I assure you it's a very good gaming build. A lot better than anything you are coming up with. :)
 
Why AMD? You have a pretty substantial and workable budget... I'd suggest AMD if you were trying to stick to say a $500-$600 budget, but at $1k.... stick with Intel.

Edit: Here is something I threw together.. nothing spectacular, you won't be able to overclock to the moon, but this will play pretty much anything out there @1080p60fps max settings, and will give you some future proofing.

Canada prices are a bit higher...

Are you in Canada, and do you have a way to order from the US? You'll be able to save a bit of money and/or get some better/higher end components for the same price your paying in Canada for lower end components.

note that amd would requiere a aftermarket cooler because the provided one will not be enough...

I can even vouch for this statement and I use an AMD FX 8350....

If i hadn't rushed into my build the way I did I would certainly have gone intel this round.

Luckily its not a game changer as my rig plays every game absolutely fine.

AMD is a great budget processor, but if you can go Intel I would reccomend it as well.

If that's the case why did you place an intel cpu in your last basket at post #48? You seem to be confusing everyone now with changes on almost a post by post basis.

Tell us the following things:
Define what would you do with the computer… gaming, working.. design ..
how much would you like to spend, your current budget,
also if you may use parts from older builds or parts you already have….

regards,
 
I give up
 
He should seriously look at RCoon s suggestion.
Swap the case for his choice and rock on with a very nice rig.
 
somethimes its pretty hard to help .. but here we are...!
 
This is what I would get:

For this case you could add a second 200mm fan on top in summer if it might be needed but dont really see any reason to do right away.

@gilbertbridewell
This is a good start.

Let us know what you'll be doing with your new rig... Strictly for gaming, daily use/work/school, and will you be doing any sort of design work? Video editing or transcoding? These things make a difference in what others suggest for your build.

If you're just looking for a gaming PC, are you wanting to go all out and play everything maxed at 1080p, or do you have intentions of gaming at 1440p? 4k?

Current budget? You mentioned $1,000 is where you'd like to be. Is there room there to +/-? $1k a hard cap and not a penny over?

Future proofing... are you looking to get a setup to get you started that you can build on, or do you want a PC that's ready to go and won't need an upgrade for quite some time? Along that same line, are you thinking that you might be interested in overclocking and tweaking your setup, or again, are you just looking for something that you can put together and it will just run?

If you're not very familiar with PC hardware and specs, that's no problem. Let us know what you want to do with your PC, and we'll help you with picking out the parts that would best suit your needs.
 
Check my signature specs

Future proofing does not exist. It's a myth. :D

Only thing future proof is a case and higher model psu,hdd. Other than that ddr3 will be on a swan dive.

80+silver, Gold or Platinum PSU mostly and some 80+Bronze models may last a couple of years, or a couple of builds,
Case, memory and Fans/Cooler could survive into another Rig, also HDD can be reused or recycled,
 
RCoon said:
Processors come with coolers as standard, unless you buy an OEM. OEM processors cost less, but don't come with a stock heatsink (You'll need to buy your own).

Coolermaster Sickleflows look pretty and don't make much noise, but as fans they don't really push much air at all, even at 2000RPM. Don't use them on processor coolers.
Click to expand...

What? Sickleflows have always been some of the highest pressure fans on the market, ideal for heatsinks and directional airflow. They just don't get as much publicity since they are cheap. There are also many sickleflow rebrands out there that are just as good.
 
Brilliant.

:banghead: We are back on the fan !!!!!!
 
Did OP just poof? I hope they're not going on another "is this good XD" spree.

While the FX-6300 is a good CPU, going with Intel will be the best bet for gaming.I know this because I made the magical change.

OP, get your head out of your rear and quit poking the powered on fans. RCoon has the best option for gaming. Get off the AMD train because you have the budget for a stronger Intel build. Use your head!
