(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!

Also with $300 get a 8320 a 990fx motherboard and a nice.case from fractal like a r4

From what I read. The APU I had linked above, doesn't NEED a graphics card. But the thing is, If I add one, it will work even better. Because AMD's "APU" is pretty much a CPU and a GPU bunched into one. Which mean that I could play stuff in 720p just fine. But older games such as Portal, TF2, or Far Cry 3, I can play in 1080p. But from my understanding, if I add my gtx 560 to it, it would run even better "graphically." Please correct me if I'm wrong. Besides, I can get a APU, Motherboard, and a nice looking case for about $250.
