(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); What's Up NGU? Okay, so I have finally decided to start PC gaming. I know that some people think that it may not be the best idea, then some people think I should have been a PC gamer since day 1. But anyway, I currently have a decent build but I want a better one, a more custom one. So I have been hunting around Amazon, PCPartPicker, and NewEgg for some stuff to build one. So far, I have found a decent APU and motherboard. I currently have a EVGA GeForce GTX 560, 1TB Hard Drive, Mark III Silencer PSU, and 8gb RAM. I planned on using the same Graphics Card, Power Supply, Memory Sticks, and Hard Drive until I need to upgrade it.

What I'm currently looking at:

CPU: AMD A10-5800K APU (Link: You must login or register to view this content.)

Motherboard: MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 (Link: You must login or register to view this content.)

Case: AeroCool StrikeX-One (Link: You must login or register to view this content.)


My dad does a LOT of PC gaming and he hasn't talked to me about it yet. But I'm currently on a cheaper budget due to football expenses. But if anything, what do you guys think?

Current Budget: $300

I plan on building this to play games such as; Call of Duty Ghosts, Titanfall, and some others. Feel free to quote me on how you feel. I would like some feedback before I buy. Pros and Cons? Do's and Don'ts? Anything is welcome!

The AMD A10 5800K vs Intel i3

Please say your budget. It's impossible to help you without knowing a budget.

My current budget for a CPU and Motherboard is around $300

They are incompatible

A 560ti might be a little weak for some games

Yeah, I know. I played Titanfall on it fine though. I plan on buying a new or newer graphics card whenever I sell my Xbox One.

Get the 8350 and Asus M5A97, or a maybe a 990FX motherboard.

Get a 750Ti and you'll be able to play the games you mentioned, the APU will struggle at 1080p, and might not even be able to run those games.

Nice build! However $300 is pushing it a bit for the budget...
