Hi guys i'm looking into a entry level/ mid range gaming rig. I'm completely new to this. Been browsing the net and i'm leaning towards the AMD x4 860k black edition (most likely i will be OCing) cpu for the rig (FM2+) and a A88x mobo and probably lookinginto getting a GTX 750 ti.

I would like some suggestions on building the rig i.e parts etc

[B][Budget] 2k

[Purpose] Gaming, browsing the web and media consumption (movies, music)

[Monitor resolution]1080p

I would like a rig that could play triple A titles at a decent frame rate. Something that would not make me rage but not too OP hahahah smile.gif

Another questions how big difference in terms of perfromance between the gtx 750 ti and the gtx 950 or compared to the R7 GPU

If there is any other suggestions such as an Intel rig please do give your opinion or other AMD GPU. im looking for best bang for the buck in terms of performance for the budget I have.

Thanks

Since you are pairing with a low end GPU due to budget constraint, have a overclockable CPU isn't going to give you any significant performance bump because you aren't being limited by the CPU performance.

FM2+ is a dead socket, no more upgrade path because AMD stopped all the developments for this socket since few years ago, it is not recommended to dump money into a dead platform when you can get something that has s better out-of-box performance, i.e. Intel Core i3.

Intel Core i3 6098P - RM 477
Asus H110M-K - RM 273
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 130
Zotac GTX950 2GB GDDR5 Single Fan - RM 619
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 166
Tecware F3 - RM 119

Total: RM 1993 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

GTX950 is slightly faster than GTX760 in some games so it is a no brainier to choose it over the other GPUs at similar price range.

Aites Thanks for the input @terence_nwb. Is it worth it to OC the cpu with this mobo? No bottleneck issue?

As explained earlier, you can hardly bottleneck a low/mid end GPU, Skylake Core i3 has enough juice to provide the resources that GTX950 is going to request and nope, you cannot overclock the i3 on non-Z170 mobo.

Aites.. Thanks man for your advice
