for R 8 449.00 but no gpu.

So I want to build me one for Fifa 15, bf 3 and 4, gta v and 64 multi-player games with no drop in fps.

my limit is R10 000

CASES
CoolerMaster N300 ATX Chassis No PSU R 599

MOBO
MSI Intel Z77A-G43 Z77 ATX R 1 549 or Gigabyte GA-B85M-HD3 Socket 1150 R 1 209 (any recommends please)

PSU

TOTAL

Any way how I can lower my cost but keep or improve my performance?

dude you need to give people at least 48 hours to reply, there is a lot going on at the minute. Please be patient, and don't forget, no-one is obliged to help you every here is here of their own free will and in their free time.

Help will come in due course, just try and be patient
 
What's your currency called? It's kinda hard to make a build without knowing how much money we can use.

Like Dollars, Pounds, Kronor, Rubels, Yen or something. And if you can provide a link to a webshop page in your region so we can see what parts are available that would be great as well. :)

Thanks SuB. Won't happen again

Supplier link is in the post and sorry 10 000 rand is equal to 931.07 US dollars/
683.751 Euros.
Please notify me if I need to include any other currency.

10k rand is £550. You need to use more then one supplier or you'll be screwed over. It also doesn't help that they are out of stock of most stuff.
here is my attempt:

win7 home premium- R 1,569.00
MSI Intel H81M-P33 SKT 1150 MATX Motherboard- R 759.00
Seagate Desktop SSHD 1TB 3.5"- 7200rpm SATA 6GB/s-R 1,179.00
Corsair VS550 Watt ATX PSU-R 729.00
SAPPHIRE RADEON R7 260X 2GB DDR5 OC GRAPHICS CARD-R 2,039.00
Corsair ValueSelect Memory 8GB DDR3-1333 Desktop Memory-R 1,219.00
INTEL CORE I3 4130 3.4GHZ 3MB CACHE SKT 1150-R 1,679.00
CoolerMaster N200 ATX Chassis W/Side Panel-R 719.00
total (incl tax and shipping)-R 9,992.00

Than i'm screwed because that is the only supplier i trust and my daddy wont spend £550 at a online shop on the other side of South Africa (Pretoria, Johannesburg).
Sorry for wasting your time i really thought they the best supplier and will have what you need to suggest

Well it won't be the best bang for your buck. I've came up with a parts list and a few things are out of stock.
 
From what I can see I think you would need to upgrade the graphics card, mainboard and the PSU (and then of course the CPU / Memory as well) which would probably cost more than R 10.000 if you wanted some noticable difference.

Best solution would probably be to just get the MSi GTX 750 Ti (Which is a very nice middle class card in my opinion) and save the rest of the money until you can replace the other parts.

The 3 GHz dual core (in your signature) should still be quite decent for gaming.
 
it looks like it's going to be a nice build, are you going to do a build log?

Yes or just post in gallery as it will just be a install and try to keep it clean

So the whole build is crap. Won't be able to run stable 60fps?
I don't want to keep my old pc because its socket 775 and when I go into the shop they say I'm unable to upgrade because i have max amount of ram in and cpu not that great. Can't run bf 3 on low setting 800x640

will you require an OS?

looking at the prices, i would go for a i5 4460 with a gtx 750Ti. The 450w PSU will be fine for your needs and so for the cheapest motherboard of a reasonable brand if your not overclocking.

almost everthing you have suggested is OK, as i said all i'd change is the r7 260 to the gtx 750Ti.

Thanks for adding the retailer link, it really helps us get our heads around the currency.

No OS required.

Gtx 750ti meet my expectation.

well for the price it's the best you can do really, it will outperform a r7 260x and consume less power.

as for performance look up a few reviews, I have no idea how GTA 5 will perform as it is unreleased.

Yeah, I'm busy with my reviews now, every item on my list i do research on as I don't want to be dissatisfied with my build.

your just right, I do the very same.

You cant go wrong with an i5 and as powerful a gpu as you can afford really.
