Answer» Hey guys!
I would like to know if this pc build will basically get 60fps in any game. Except like Metro Last Light and Far Cry 3.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
GPU: PNY GeForce GTX 970 4GB
CPU: AMD FX-8320 8-Core PROCESSOR
RAM: 4GB G.Skill Ripjaw X Series
MOBO: MSI basic motherboard that will hold these parts correctly.
Also keep in mind i can change out parts but only for parts for the same price range. I have a $750 budget for christmas and this pc is gonna cost $768
One last question. What Intel processor is the same price as the AMD FX-8320 but can out perform it?
Thanks guys,
ComputerGeek30ComputerGeek30, you are asking many question in one post.
Maybe I can talk about just TWO.
If you have a 64 bit OS and a 64 bit game, you should have more than 4 GB of RAM to push the advantage of the 64 bits CPUs.
The AMD vs Intel thing will start a fight. Here is a recent posting from Tom's Hardware:

AMD vs Intel...which CPU better for gaming
Okay thanks. I apologizeI'd avoid MSI MBoards at all costs...Video card and CPU are fine for gaming (although an i5 would be better). However, don't get a "basic MSI motherboard" - get a motherboard from a good brand such as Gigabyte or ASUS with at least a 970 chipset (MSI are a traditionally low end, budget brand with a very patchy reliability history) - Won't cost MUCH more but will save a lot of hassle in the long run.
Also, what power supply are you looking at?I already have a powersupply i ordered before i got the pc i dont know why i did but i did. Its a Corsair AX860. Intel i5 are too much money for not that much more performance. Could you give me a link to one of those motherboards? I can't seem to find one
Also the mobo is only $40 its gonna be hard to top that price$40 Bucks is more than it's worth...you'll find out soon enuff.I believe you just all other motherboards are like $70 to $100 which i think is WAY too much money for a motherboard. Motherboards dont increase fps in games...
If the OP really has to stay inside a budget, consider giving up on some other thing he does not really need. Like going two or three days without food. Or think about buying used instead of new.
Used gigabyte motherboards, or similar, are available on eBay.
One of many:
Genuine Gigabyte GA-M61PME-S2 Motherboard Socket AM2 DDR2 VGA SATA
He wants $30 for it. Might be worth it.
Of course, when buying on eBay there are risks you take.
Feel free to ignore the above...

No they don't, however they are a very common part to fail so it is important to get a reliable one. AMD motherboards at the lower end use very outdated technology, I doubt the one you are looking at supports either native SATA III or native USB3.0. I'd say it's especially important to get a good quality board for AMD since all the voltage regulation is still done on-boad and AMD FX CPUs are hardly known for being power efficient, you need something that can reliably cope with a power hungry CPU.
Something like the ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 is $70 and while is still a basic motherboard, is at least decent quality and supports stuff like SATA III and USB 3.0 which you would expect from a modern motherboard.
The motherboard is not just a backplane for everything else, there is a lot more to it.

Considering that motherboard is ancient and won't take any remotely modern CPU then no, it's not worth it...

If you believe that then both you and Cameron are wrong...Thanks. I was looking at the Asus M5A97 and it looks nice. Think I'll go with that.
