Please pick apart my build!!!

Little bit of a back story I take my pc round to a friends for lan partys I plug my pc up to a 720p TV and game.
Few issues my pc is heavy and the case gets bashed about a bit.

So it has got me thinking on building my self a pc that I can take to a mates or use to plug up to my own TV to replace the Xbox 360 (films, music, odd gaming)

I'm not one of those gamers who cares on how many frames I get or if it looks on par of a console...as long a the game run smooths than I'm a happy bunny.

Heres what I'm thinking of buying
Amd a10 6800k
MSI FM2-A75MA-P33 AMD A75
MSI 6670 (for crossfire)

Parts I have already
120gb ssd
16gb of ddr3 at 1600mhz
Matx case
corsiar h60
380 watt antec earth watt bronze certificate.
windows 7

those specs look great for a lan pc, it will certainly suit your needs.

your pc may have performed better with faster ram but that cannot be changed now.

Looks good but i'd be weary of the PSU... I wouldn't go below 400watts but that's just me.

Faster ram would have given a much much bigger performance boost than spending on 16gb 1600mhz... Something like 2133mhz at minimum would have been ideal but not a game changer.

Yeah for what you're wanting I don't see much to hate on. Maybe go with a AM3+ processor maybe and then a faster video card. Crossfire drivers can sometimes be a pain to deal with and compatibility issues can crop up.

Ram I already have from another build just thought it would do me the now

Actually guys maybe you can clear summit up the crossfire part I see some folk on utube and on other forums have managed to crossfire with a 7750....I'm assuming this is just bullsh*t

Hmm saw this on the msi website about crossfire metions the 7xxx card

I have read about it before.. Doesn't mean it will play nicely with the IGPU though.

 

[MacLeod]

Yeah if youre set on doing hybrid Crossfire, Id stick to the same GPU family. 6000 with 6000 so to speak.

 

[WYP]

msi only mention crossfire with HD 7670, 7570 and 7470 graphics cards.

As far as i'm aware these are OEM rebranded 6000 series cards with a clock boost

so as far as we are concerned we can only crossfire with 6000 series cards
