Which is better?

[rattle99]

I play games like Battlefield 4, Fifa 14, CoD for 1 or 2 hours a day and edit documents download a lot of files browse the net a lot and send mails.

I have selected 3 systems can someone tell me which one is better for me.

System 1

The components are:

1. MSI FM2-A55M-E33 Motherboard
2. AMD A10-5800K
3. WD Blue WD10EZEX 1 TB Internal Hard Drive
4. Corsair DDR3 4 GB(1 x 4GB) PC RAM (CMV4GX3M1A1600C11)
5. Cooler Master Thunder 450W 450 Watts PSU
6. Samsung Syncmaster 740n LCD Monitor

System 2

The components are:

1. Intel i3 3220
2. ASRock B75 Pro3-M Motherboard
3. Corsair DDR3 4 GB(1 x 4GB) PC RAM (CMV4GX3M1A1600C11)
4. WD Blue WD10EZEX 1 TB Internal Hard Drive
5. Cooler Master Thunder 450W 450 Watts PSU
6. Samsung Syncmaster 740n LCD Monitor

System 3

The components are:

1. AMD 3.5 AM3+ FX 6-Core Edition FX-6300 (FD6300WMHKBOX) Processor
2. Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Motherboard
3. Corsair DDR3 4 GB(1 x 4GB) PC RAM (CMV4GX3M1A1600C11)
4. WD Blue WD10EZEX 1 TB Internal Hard Drive
5. Cooler Master Thunder 450W 450 Watts PSU
6. Samsung Syncmaster 740n LCD Monitor

I will buy a cabinet with proper airflow and get 4 good fans.

Moreover which system will not overheat as the temperatures touch 45 degrees Celsius in my city during summers.

I will not overclock my cpu.

how much are you paying for these systems?

 

[rattle99]

how much are you paying for these systems?

I am not buying the PSU and the Monitor so the total is around 19500INR

 

[lehtv]

Does that mean you already own the PSU and monitor, or that someone else is buying them for you?

None of those systems have a graphics card. Do you already own a graphics card or do you have a separate budget for it?

I would hesitate to use the Thunder 450W in a gaming system... I would swap it for a higher quality unit.

Assuming the cost is the same for those three systems and you can afford a graphics card to match the CPU's performance, I would go with the FX-6300 system. BF4 multiplayer likes multiple cores, and the FX performs admirably in most other games as well.

dude, he's got £200 to work with; (thats 20k indian rupees)

not a lot really.

i would go without a doubt with the i3 system, as the AMD's really shine with overclocking, and with that board/PSU combo, you can 'fuhgeddaboudit.

If I add Galaxy NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card to my systems then which on would be the best system??

GT 630 is a useless graphics card.. Get Atleast an HD 7750 or Gt 650 if you want to play modern games @ 1280 x 1024 (The native resolution of your monitor).

Also, don't get a Dual core processor in 2014.. All new games are being programmed for multiple threads.. Battlefield developers have recommended a 4 core processor from intel or a 6 core processor from AMD.

It's because of this:

Xbox 1 & PS4 = 8 core AMD CPU @ 1.7 & 1.6 Ghz (Only 6 cores will be reserved for gaming)

__FX_6300_ = 6 core AMD CPU @ 3.5Ghz (4.1 Ghz Turbo)

You'll have twice as much CPU power with this processor and it costs wayy less than a quad core from intel.

If you plan to upgrade your monitor in the future, get a AMD HD 7770 or the Nvidia 650 Ti.

I am on a tight budget so can't buy 650.
And don't you think my system will overheat as the temperatures touch 45 in my city during summers?

 

[DigDog]

well, to be honest, that budget will not get you even a low-range gaming pc.
you really need to, in my opinion, go used. ebay and such.

the GT 630 is completely worthless - dont buy it. i'm pretty sure it's almost identical to the iGPU that sits on the haswells.(if not worse)

so , if i don't buy a good GPU then should i stick to system 2?

 

[schmuckley]

I vote for system 2 but./...You need a bigger PSU..
and this board is same price as crappy AsRock pro board here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138381

Might be easier, OP, to just post a thread with your needs and budget and see what others can come up with... instead of trying to choose over components that may not be the best in terms of performance and/or cost.

Agreed. Although if the Athlon x4 750k is available at prices comparable to prices in the US, that might allow enough to be saved on the cpu help towards a decent discrete gpu such as a HD7750 or 7770 or above.
