whats the best $300 build?

[truesilax]

i have the case but for the inside whats the best $300 build you know of?

 

[Feronix]

Depends on what you want to do with it

 

[truesilax]

ive seen things that play most new games on low settings at 30 fps so gaming ill go a little higher if u think i should. this is to last me untill i save up for somthing better i was thinking of somthing that runs off the cpu ram and the apu? im not sure if its the apu and im not sure if its on the cpu or mother board.

So you'll be looking at running an APU only system? $300 is a tricky build budget.

 

[truesilax]

eh should i get a cheap graphics card insted? like a $60 one

Get an AMD apu, fairly cheap motherboard, and some fast RAM. No need for a dedicatd gpu.

What is it you require exactly? I know you said you have the case. and want to get around 30fps while gaming. I just need to be clear which parts you'll be needing. We can then look at helping, picking parts for your budget.

CPU, Motherboard, RAM, HDD, GPU

do u thing it would be to much money to get ram and mobo to support ram oc at 2800mhz? for the parts cpu ram mobo psu some fans. would stock heat sink be good enoff?

Slightly over $300 also no HDD..

[truesilax]

thanks. so this build dosnt relie on the ram right? any predictions on how it well preform? i would be willing to spend more on the card $350 would be the max on total

 

[Dark NighT]

For gaming you dont need high speed ram.

 

[truesilax]

that was when i was going to just off the mobo

 

[barnsley]

Nope. An APU needs faster ram as it uses it as video memory pretty much.

 

[Wraith]

For gaming you dont need high speed ram.

APUs require higher frequency RAM for the onboard graphics.

 

[truesilax]

so any ideas for a better graphics card if i would spend $350 now

 

[RadeonHDx]

If you want an APU system:

or a dedicated GPU:

You can change the HDD size to your liking but just some suggestions .

 

[truesilax]

so i cant get rebates untill i pay $397 right? also allready have a hdd so is there a better mobo and cpu and thanks.

 

[Dark NighT]

APUs require higher frequency RAM for the onboard graphics.

That makes sense, i never thought of that, thanks for the correction fellas.

 

[truesilax]

its fine you probably know more about apu gpu and ever pu's i need to study that.

 

[RadeonHDx]

How about this? If you want, you could spend another $10 and get the full anniversary edition.
