441meatloaf Not anymore, at least not as bad as before. New drivers from Nvidia and AMD (Mantle) are beginning to improve performance by reducing CPU dependency. You can look forward to this in future drivers.
For anyone watch this video and thinking of building a computer, I would say go with the Intel CPU. I made a build using: AMD Athlon x4 750k - CPU MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 - Motherboard 8gb (4x2) of Corsair Vengeance 1600 - RAM EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2gb - GPU 1tb Western Digital Blue - HDD Thermaltake tr3 600w - Power Supply I made that almost one year ago. I was very happy with it at the time. Now, however, since games are getting more and more demanding, I upgraded my graphics card to an EVGA GTX 760 4gb SC. I saw a good amount of performance increase, but I noticed on games that required a good amount of CPU power, my CPU was starting to bottleneck my GPU. Bottlenecking is basically when your processor is running at 100% trying to keep up with your graphics card causing lower fps and a huge amount of strain on your processor. If you want to see if your CPU is bottlenecking now, open task manager and look at the cpu performance while running a laggy game. If you see it around 95% to 100%, it's bottlenecking. I'm trying to change processors from the AMD Athlon x4 750k to the Intel Core i5-4670k AND I have to change motherboards too. It has become a huge hassle, so if you are building your first gaming computer, go with the intel core i5. It's a lot better on in the long run if you plan on upgrading the graphics card.
I use Intel on my main gaming PC, but I've built a few AMD systems, and the 6300/6350 has got to be one of the most underrated chips. The FX chips are really good deals, and not just for gaming.
Hi, can I play the newest games with AMD FX-6300 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 OC, 2048MB, GDDR5 OR AMD Radeon R7 250X, 2048MB, GDDR5. Also i will record gameplay. :)
Well, watch dogs already requires a fx8320 for low, so thats a nope, you're trying to run and record games with a budget pc, thats not really going to work. you can run battlefield tho, don't think record at ultra but you could play it. Do you have a SSD? and how much gb of ram do you have?
Hi Austin, stumbled on your channel while doing some research on a PC build I am doing. Great work buddy! This has made me take a look at AMD processors for the build, and maybe i'll xfer some of the cost to the GPU. Thanks!
norge696 I think ill go with both, a super clocked i7 3.0 5k, and a gtx 960. One thing i dont get is that why do low end processors have faster speed than the i7. The i7 im getting is 3.0 but on other builds theres a low end processor that has 3.7
Wanted Pickle Clockspeed isn't everything. The chips are just higher binned. If you absolutely need the extra threads then get the E3-1231 v3, same exact performance as an i7, just doesn't have an onboard GPU and $50 cheaper.
NO! crapTel and fukVidia are the worst combination for gaming pc that money can buy. AMD Phenom II or FX with Radeon R9 R295X are the best for money and way more powerful than crapIntel & fukVidia.
I got Amd fx 8320 Radeon R9 270x 8gb 1660mhz 1Tb Seagate 7200rpm With ultra settings on Bf4 it gives me 60/50fps What should I upgrade in order to get more fps?
I had amd 6300 liquid cooled clocked to 4.9 ghz it served me well then I switched to an Intel i5 4690k. The difference I have seen is slightly better fps and some more consistency. Was it worth it to upgrade? No.
Im Planning on Building a PC Very Soon Specs Are: RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1866MHz Memory (Red) x2 GPU:VTX3D Radeon R9 390 8GB MoBo:MSI Z97 Gaming 3 HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB CPU Cooler:Deepcool Captain 120 CPU Liquid Fan CPU:Intel Core i7-4790k Processor Case : Aerocool Strike X Advance PSU: Corsair RM 650 I Want To know what games i can Run and if i can make any changes to it to make it cost less and perform similar or better
+Julian Melo I'd say it's worth getting an SSD to download your OS. Makes bootup times insanely fast. I just built a PC similar to your's and I'd highly suggest using an SSD. Also, if you're planning on overclocking (which I assume you are, judging by the cooler), I suggest one of the new Intel Skylake processors. Specifically the "K" unlocked variant.
This clears up allot of the bias from Intel fanboys saying AMD is not appropriate for gaming. You could switch out that AMD setup without breaking the bank and get a much better FX-4300 or 6300, STILL much cheaper than that 230 dollar Intel
I don't think you will be able to run every upcoming game this year at ultra. Even still, it's a really good build. If you have a motherboard that supports SLI, I would recommend you to save up for another GTX 970.
The athlon x4 750k is worth buying only if you are going to get a low end GPU such as 260x or 7790. If you are going to get anything like 7870 or above then it's definitely worth getting a better CPU than x4 750k. Overall id say the i5 is only worth buying if you are an online gamer, but that's just me. Intel is generally starting to piss me off with their insane prices and frequent socket changes, i might own 1 AMD system and 1 intel system but i think my next build is going to have AMD if intel continues like this. And finally, if you guys need a cheap but reliable gaming CPU then the fx 6300 or the intel i3 are great choices for all the new games right now, and they both cost about 100 dollars, combined with a 270x you ll be able to play all the new games in good settings.
true that, i bought the x4 750k and the r9 270x and now i have a cpu bottleneck, my cpu sucks, sometimes it chokes so badly, it drops to 26fps, but sometimes i get about 90 fps on ultra FHD, its quite weird
I currently have an athlon II 450 x3 3.7 ghz OCed Served me really well for the past two years. Out of impulse i bought a 7790 which was pretty stupid. Now im looking to upgrade to an i5 4670k or non k Then sell my 7790 and get a high end card Yes i hate when intel fanboys say that you'll have a better upgrade path with intel than AMD. But AMD is not doing really good at processor department as APUs are fucking stupid and inferior to the FX series when use with dedicated GPU. 2012 was Sandy Bridge 2013 was Ivy Bridge 2014 Is Haswell 2015? Broadwell not sure i dont wanna search 2016 is Skylake?? If you're going to buy an INtel processor get one of the best like i5 4670k haswell as it is equal to i7 4770k haswell and period i dont think we will be seeing consumer level i5's and i7's I heard there will be a true octa core Haswell but it's not for gaming i guess And it will be ridiculously Overpriced
Fernan Gomez I have an Phenom X2 965 overclocked @3.9Ghz.... It is a 4year old quadcore and it still gives me (coupled with a R 7970) fantastic performance @1080p in everygame - it becomes bottleneck in a few games (CS:GO / LoL but I dont really care if I get 180fps vs 300 fps in counter strike ;) ) By the way you should read something about an APUs - it is not simply a CPU with decent integrated GPU as you can think..... HSA is the future as every major chip manufacturer (except intel) is member of the hsafoundation. So give it year or two then software catches up and you get 12- compute core beast that is really efficient (amd is king at integer calculations, intel outdones their design in floating point calculation - but gpu cores can handle that a LOT better than any cpu). My next cpu upgrade is propably gonna be an APU ;)
Are you sure it's not 1000 fps? xD Even a GT755m can get 120fps on max settings. Why do some people think Minecraft is a heavy game? "Oh no Minecraft is such a heavy game, I get lag all the time!" Sure it's heavy if you compare the performance to the graphics, but it's still got a lot of blocks to load. Maybe 3 years ago, it was slow on many computers, but it's pretty old now and most computers can handle it at 30 fps.
The Athlon is cheaper, but draws a lot more power under load than Intel, especially 4th gen. That translates to power bills as well as excess heat. That said, I have a soft spot for AMD and I don't wanna see an Intel monopoly.
Ben Kuyt Everything is bloody cheaper in America. Where I live, electricity is more than 20x that amount ($0.25 per kwhr, and climbing by the frickin minute).
I have a: AMD FX 8320 R9 280 ASUS 3 GB 16 GB RAM CORSAIR 1600 MHZ 1 TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA 120 GB SSDNOW KINGSTON V300 M5A97 EVO R2.0 Is it good? Can I run at medium the next 2-3 years games?
Your graphic card is a mid-range card but still a good card. Better buy 8gb ram and a gtx 970 or r9 290. You can always upgrade your ram in the future for less money.
Would this be a good budget build to play games like Arma 3 and Battlefield 4 on decent settings? CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K GPU: Radeon R7 250X RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 2x4Gb MOBO: Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-DS2H Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB PSU: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified Thanks
Well yeah a 7970 is pretty damn fast especially for the price,but buying it new you should check out the 280x's aswell as they are the same card for cheaper in some cases.That said you can pick up a 7970 for only like 250 bucks which is awesome.
The ASUS DIRECT CUII is a monster card. Literally. It takes up 3 fucking slots. But it rivals the TITAN, beating it in a few games and is comparable to maybe a 780.
for the love of god please stop with that intro you do..."HEY GUYS!!! THIS IS AUTISM!!!" like i mean it makes you look bad and im sure im not the only one thinking about it.
In all honesty, I am utterly torn. I have just done my latest build, and its the SkyLark, and so its an all new setup. My 2 previous builds are AMD 8350 ( 8x4Ghz @ 4.7Ghz ) and I7 970 Hex Core ( 12x3.2Ghz @ 4Ghz ) In truth, I only bought the SkyLark purely on a show-off reason and no other. I have a gammy hand and I am utterly unable touse my left hand in any serious gaming capacity any more, and so most games are now out of my life, and this is killing me, but I play Snooker and Pool games, plus the WarHammer Dawn Of War games, and I have kept the Skylark on my ATI 7770 Vapour X Crossfire ssetup as they play all my games at highres absolutely spot on. I have a paif or GTX 740 cards that are pretty much going to waste and are not being used, but its simply because they dont play the games I play any better, but they are hotter, and each double the power, so it makes sense to me, to keep to the ATI cards... Hell it would make even more sense to only have one and not both. Crossfire does nothing for the games I play . The CPU too... I occasionally convert home videos from various sources of home camera, into DVD format for our club, and in truth, it does all the footage in about an hour whether I use the AMD or the I7 980 - there is not really all that much in it, but I tried the Skylake for a giggle, and it did it in 40 minutes... That was not at all anywhere near as good as I was hoping it would be. I am therefore thinking, that this SkyLark for me and my own needs, was a bit of a waste of money. I am glad I got it, please dont get me wrong, but I am not going to get any actual benefit at all for it over my AMD or even the old I7. Of course, many will disagree, but thats how I feel.
+gmrb79s The new i3's of intel outfperform the FX6### in games AMD is kinda a joke these days when it comes to having the CPU power where it counts. Intel chooses fast cores over many cores and it shows these days, most games run better on intel..
i cant see go higher than i7, since its only giving him like 2-4 fps more. and upgrade the graphics card? well a GTX 770 is now almost optimized. a GTX 780 is the next step, and its a little more expensive than the difference between i5 and i7
I was talking about the SSD. I personally dont see the 10 seconds less you get while booting that helpful since i turn my computer on and then get a drink or something
EcKo_Freeze can't give you an answer because a good graphics card could mean anything from a GTX 960 or a GTX 980 Ti so we really need the details on what CPU you have and so on
EcKo_Freeze you going to want to spend about the same amount on a cpu as you did on your gpu. just save a little longer and dont skimp on prices, you get what you pay for.
MikeyC831 Games do not rely on everything. They USE everything, but the biggest factor is the GPU. If your computer has a 4 core processor (at least) and 8Gb of RAM (again at least), then you have the basic framework to play games. Then the GPU is what matter most. And that comes down to preference and circumstance.
EcKo_Freeze Here is the basic framework the BARE MINIMUM CPU I would say you should use (if you are building first time) is an Athlon X4 850k. ($80ish in price). And 4GB of RAM. I would recommend getting an FX 6300 CPU and 8GB of RAM if you are going for cheap and good. But in all honesty, you you can't afford 8Gb of RAM a decent CPU and good GPU, then you need to put a little more money into it. You shouldn't skimp on anything.
I Am Huge Fan Of Yours And Really Glad That I Reffered To Your Channel But I Have A Question That I Am Converting My Old Pc Into A New Gaming PC It Consist Of A Dual Core Processor And A Bit Old Motherboard, So I just Wanna Ask That Do I Need to Replace My Motherboard To Support Intel Core I3 Or I Just Invest That Money Into A Better Graphics Card...... I'll Be Waiting For Your Humble Reply Sir....
Could also take note that games these days are horribly optimized for PC so its not the hardware that's lacking. Its the fucking developers half assing the game or the publishers rushing them to do it.
No. the fx 8320 gets outclassed a bit by the i5 4670k while the fx 8350 outclasses the i5. hell the fx 8350 is often compared to the "low end" i7s (they arent low end cpus but thats what ive heard ppl calling them)
mrbatistabomb2 8320 and 8350 use the same chipset but the 8350 is just a little higher clocked version od 8320. and i can overclock the 8320 to perform like a 8350 or better. ( I use water cooling).
ff7soldierff7 they are on the same chip and stuff BUT the fx 8350 is the top of the line amd CPU. and i am not calculating overclockings, because if that was the case the fx 9590 would destroy every CPU in existence, since it needs watercooling and it is an already overclocked fx 8350. the 500 mhz on the fx 8350 really make a diffrence in performance
Mantle is about the GPU not the CPU. Mantle will decrease CPU overhead meaning you will need less powerful CPUs. Some games are taking advantage of more cores but intel still over performs amd.
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 2GB Video Card RAM: 8GB Do you think I can run Metro: LL and Crysis 3 on ultra?
I get 30-50fps while playing GTA v on lowest settings with an Athlon 860K at 4GHz and a R7 260X at 1150MHz. Could I get more fps with an i5 CPU? Thinking of upgrading to intel when they release 1151 socket (think it was 1151)
Wiikendz change to intel trust me you wont regret it, I've just changed my to i5 30 minutes ago and wow the performance is a massive upgrade. have fun upgrading :D
mr potato Ill have to think about it.. Ill start with selling some old computers I have and see if I can find a way to get some more money :P then I guess I can sell the old mobo and CPU if I get new ones :P
An AMD 6300fx is enough to game or even a AMD APU like the A10 series. no need for a high end i7 CPU to game on. I use a AMD 8350FX I can play games on that and it plays my games nicely.. I just need a better GPU. than my 460GTX but even that gives me decent FPS..
It all depends on the application you'll be using the CPU for. Personally, I'm planning on building a gaming computer that will not only work well for the latest PC games, but also for console emulators such as Dolphin. Dolphin (and probably other emulators) relies heavily on the CPU and Intel CPUs have been shown to provide better performance vs comparable AMD CPUs. Given that I'll need a powerful Intel CPU for emulation, I'm planning on going with the i7 4790K along with a GTX 970 (which I can eventually upgrade with SLI) for decent PC and emulator gaming.
I agree with UliPuli. You should be ok depending what kind of game you are planning to play. I saw a video where they could play Titanfall in medium or high and it was smooth.
Titanfall is really not demanding. My rig is a Phenom II 965 with an HD7870 ghz edition and I could play everything to the max. The 860k is equal strenght to my cpu atm.
hey guys im gonna build my first gaming cpu! tell me if this will last a couple of years! help out a fellow gamer brothers :) AMD FX-6300 NVIDIA GTX970 OR AMD R9 290X Z97 (motherboard) 8GB RAM
AKSHAY KARTHIK thats a motherboard chipset not the actuall mobo. And its not compatible with your CPU. Go to pcpartpicker.com for compatibility and other tips.
This video can cause people to misuderstand few things. So if you take like some cheap ass AMD cpu and combine it with GTX 970 or other high end GPU, you will be creating a bottleneck, your CPU can't keep up with the GPU. Even AMD FX series is pretty shitty, I had FX 8350 with GTX 970 and that gpu was bottlenecking my GPU pretty badly, it wasn't able to use the full capacity of the GPU. Therefore I sold that CPU and bought i5 4690k, soon as I started playing, I noticed a huge difference, it was like night and day. Those who don't believe that, are morons, it has been proven by multiple benchmarks. So go with intel if you want to buy a High end GPU. Pick a AMD cpu if you aren't going to pay much for your GPU, like if you're getting a low to mid-range gpu. Note for all haters, even though you might think that I'm a Intel fanboy and AMD hater. I don't hate AMD nor love intel, I only buy the hardware which is giving me the gaming performance that I'm looking for and I advice that you do that too. Don't always go with the "cheap" as you might get disappointed even if you see all of the benchmarks and other things, it might not be for you. Most of PC gamers want to game at least 1080p and with high to ultra settings, you can't pull that off with cheap amd cpu and low end gpu. So think before buying anything, it might sound as a good deal, but most likely it's not.
"your CPU can't keep up with the GPU." This varies greatlly from game to game. I've seen 64 player game BF4 at 60-75 fps on an x4 860k without overclocking which I imagine it's gonna be sufficient unless your monitor isn't 60Hz.
I tried different games and everything run pretty shitty, I knew that it wasn't using the full capacity of my gpu. I couldn't believe it, I tought that FX series would be more high end but no.
Nah bro. The best cpu between 100 and 130 is any random i3 out of the 4000 Generation. It doesnt run slower and can be upgraded later. And the 860k already has higher single core performance. Btw this comes from a AMD guy. (long live team red)
i have the fx6300 with an gtx960. its an alright cpu. but i wouldn't recommend it. as its starting to get old. it generates a lot of heat as well. it would be better to use a bit more money to buy an i3 or the fx8350
Hey Austin i wonder how you get all the parts do you buy them? or maybe borrow them? or do the companys send the parts to you? also last question all your extra stuff like all your computers cameras and so on have you bought them yourself?
Great video, thank you Austin Evans. Lately i struggle with my video card which is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 2048MB DDR3 so i decided to buy a better one. I don't want to make a mistake buying the wrong and not compatible GPU, so if anyone can help me out with an advice, would be much appreciated. Specs are these : source : DEM-ATX-500W-PFC mother board : MSI A55-G41 PC Mate CPU : AMD Athlon(tm) X4 750K Quad Core Processor ( I overclocked it up to 4,02 GHz ) RAM : 8 GB DDR3 @ 689 MHz monitor : Belnea ( 1680×1050@59Hz) My budget would be around 200 euro + - I will use it for gaming. Thank you in advance !
I'm going with an i3-4160 paired with an EVGA 2GB GDDR5 GTX 750 Ti SC for my next budget build. The i3's got great single threaded performance compared with AMD's line up, which is important for the XBox 360 / PS3 generation of games I can currently get really cheap, where at most 2 cores are required for maximum performance, while the additional hyperthreading can take care of the boring general PC stuff that goes on in the background. The 750 Ti SC is one of those small but mighty (for it's bracket) jobs. With a much lower TDP than the equivalent AMD, the less demanding cooling solution required for it can also be correspondingly quieter than the AMD alternative. Also, it supports GPU programming and PhysX using CUDA, which is something I'd really like to get in to. My current system, which I've been using for a very, very long time, is based around a S939 Athlon 64 X2 4800+, MSI nForce3 DDR motherboard and a MSI 256MB DDR2 AGP(!?!) Radeon HD 2600 Pro, that likes Windows XP, but only works with graphics acceleration on Windows 7 by disabling one of the two cores of the Athlon. My budget is limited, so going for the i3, which is around 3x more powerful than the Athlon (on Windows XP) and the 750 Ti SC, which is at least 6x more powerful than my current GPU, with full support for Windows 7 and above, is an upgrade that's really badly needed right now. I'm also putting them on a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK motherboard for plenty of upgrading headroom later on. For example, an i7-4790K, that's more than twice as powerful as the i3-4160, paired with a future Pascal/Volta GPU that's at least 3x more powerful than the 750 Ti SC, having at least as much performance as a GTX 980, while also running with a much lower TDP than the 980 for quiet cooling, to be obtained once DirectX 12 hardware fully matures.
Hi guys, I'm saving money and I'm gonna build a new PC and i want to hear your guys toughts on it. CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K GPU: Nvidia GTX 950 msi Motherboard: MSI A78M-E35 RAM: 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport Hard Drive: 1TB Western Digital Black Power Supply: Corsair VS Series™ VS550 - 550 Watt Power Supply Case: Corsair SPEC-01 Monitor: BenQ GL2250 Keyboard: Corsair STRAFE Mouse: SteelSeries Rival MousePad: SteelSeries QCK+ The maximum I'm willing to spend on a new setup is around 900€. What do you think? Should I replace some parts or nah? Is this a decent machine for streaming CS:GO on Twitch because that's what I'm planning to do in the future.
Hi Austin. Currently I'm upgrading from an R7 250 gpu to a gtx 760 and am using a amd athlon X4 750. Will I still see a decent increase in performance or is my cpu too outdated? I'm only looking to get 1080p on medium to high settings with a decent fps on a single screen.
Mostly I've been playing older things. The most graphically intensive game I play right now is Skyrim and I get performance I like on it. I'm just wondering if I can get decent performance on something like Arkham Knight or maybe Fallout 4 at some point.
Just a quick question, I am considering building a computer, and I'm worried that the CPU will not be able to handle the GPU. These are the specs I'm looking at. AMD FX-8320 CPU 3.5Ghz AMD 990FX Motherboard 16GB DDR3-1866Mhz 120GB SSD 2TB Hard Disk AMD R9-290X GPU Antec Three Hundred + 750w PSU A response will be much appreciated.
Current build: AMD FX 6300 6 core - CPU EVGA 750 FTW - Graphics card Asus M4A79XTD EVO - Mobo 2x8Gb Corsair Vengeance - RAM 750 watt power supply, and a wifi card for LAN parties. May upgrade that Graphics card soon to a GTX 980. However with this setup, I can easily run ANY game in my steam library (with the exception of Evolve) at Ultra settings. Always hit around 60-80fps with FPS games, and 75-120fps with anything else. Highly impressed because I only spent $495, and it outperforms a $1200 gaming PC i bought last year.
I have a question for you Austin, I just built a new PC (for only $350!!) but I am not getting good framerates in some games that i know should be better. I have a MSI GeForce GTX 760 (Twin Frozr) and i got a really cheap but good AMD Phenom II x4 840 (Quad-Core/3.2 GHZ) with 8GB RAM. Is there some sort of bottleneck in this build or is this really the max performance i can get from it?
Hi Austin Great Vid, What choice is the best here. I want a balance pc to do multitasking (not heavy), music, word, gaming (not to ultra settings). FX 8320 + R9 280X OR I5 4690K + R9 280X. Will I have any BOTTLENECK by this 2 choices ? Thank you
Juliangs200™ PVP Are you kidding? have fun multitasking with one thread,im sorry but don't listen to this fanboy both are good cpu's but the 8320 would better suit your description.
Rangattack Are you stupid? I'm not an Intel fanboy first of, and the 8320 is an old ass fucking outdated proccessor that is no match for a Haswell i5, Like it or not, it's the truth
Juliangs200™ PVP Your probably right,in most cases the i5 will destroy the 8320 especially in games but the i5 lacks hyperthreading and lot's of threads. and the 8320 may be old but it overclocks.An overclockable i5 costs alot where i live like $300+ where the amd cost's like $170 so it was an easy decision,But i agree the intel is the better cpu in overall.
I have a question, I'm planning to buy GTX 1060 (6 GB) GPU next week and I'm thinking if I should buy a GPU or PS4 Slim instead because my PC specs isn't that good, so if I buy GTX 1060 it might not perform well because of my CPU. Do you think my CPU will bottleneck GTX 1060? My PC Specs is: *(It's Dell XPS 8300)* Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~ 3.4GHz 16 GB RAM and also I'm using Samsung Monitor 24'' 60hz
Which in your opinion would be better? pcpartpicker.com/p/R4vkBm or pcpartpicker.com/p/kLxQWZ ? I would be doing 50% video editing and 40% recording minecraft gameplay and 10% after effects. I dont do really heavy video editing. Maybe like once or twice a week? And for after effects. I use it for doing intros greenscreend and muzzle flashes. Any replies would be appricieted :D
I think that the biggest issue here is the lack of multi-threading in games. The Athlon has 2 cores and is hyperthreaded, while the i5 had 4 cores. I kind of wonder if using a higher-end GPU actually unlocked cores? It doesn't sound likly, but what if the system actually chose to not use extra cores because it detected that the GPU was the bottleneck anyway? I dunno, just a theory. An unlikely one, but not completely illogical, I think.
If your CPU can execute the game, then that processor is ready for gaming, high or ultra settings depend exclusively of the graphic card. You can even play BF4 in Ultra with an APU (Kaveri) or with an Intel Pentium.
hey so i have a intel core i7 in my hp pavilion dv7 and i want to build a desktop for gaming... is it worth opening my hp to put the i7 from this into the desktop or should i just buy the i5 or athlon... nice video
The HP Pavilion DV7 is a laptop, and laptops cannot have any parts removed and used on a desktop build. You also cannot add a graphics card to the laptop. I would go for the i5 If you have the money.
Austin, question. I have this processor, as well as a amd radeon xfx edition r7750 graphics card. Is there a way I'll still be able to use the ports on the motherboard for video? there is only one hdmi on my graphics card so to use my 2nd display ill have to get a displayport cable and I really don't want to wait that long l0l
Dude Is core i5 processor 2500k n a graphic card of r9 270x is enough for recnet games ? Reply Coz m bit confuse to choose between graphic card models n even on i5 models
New video! Do you really need an expensive CPU for gaming?
Creepy smile is creepy at the end..
Intel Core i7 quad core 8 processors 3.4 ghz
The rest depends on the video card or lack of. Nvidia baby Nvidia! :-)
Austin Evans , what processor would you recommend for video editing on a budget? Thanks man, I enjoy your videos!
Good video
Thanks for the video Austin Evans , I'm looking for new parts for my upcoming Gaming PC Build and this will help a lot for my budget.

Goldmember maybe 5 fps on ultra settings
Goldmember You atleast need a 5960X overclocked to 4.0 to get decent fps in minecraft with that gpu
my shit is fucked. i have an i5 and my cpu usage is at 100% playing spotify and csgo.
sounds like a virus
figured it out, it was bluestacks android emu. also its been hot as hell so maybe it's just overheating
bluestacks is a fucking resource hog
You are really fucked if you are obese guy in the picture.

Austin went to the barber.
"What kind of haircut do you want?"
"Ever seen a porcupine?"
"Say no more fam."
That's his haircut on the video.
I love when ppl get i7 4770k with gt 640 because they wasted their money on the CPU
LOL IKR, I see so many people with i5 gaming rigs and crappy GPU's because they wasted all their $ on the CPU, and motherboard and aftermarket cooler!
gt 640 is still decent
441meatloaf Not anymore, at least not as bad as before. New drivers from Nvidia and AMD (Mantle) are beginning to improve performance by reducing CPU dependency. You can look forward to this in future drivers.
RedDragonGaming yeah but why not get something like a gtx 760 and a i5 4670k or even better and FX 6300 and you have more GPU horse power
Axecution
I completely Agree, GPU horsepower will mean alot higher which means alot better FPS in general.
*Goes to barber*
"What u want?"
"I'm feeling something grassy"
"say no more fam"
For anyone watch this video and thinking of building a computer, I would say go with the Intel CPU. I made a build using:
AMD Athlon x4 750k - CPU
MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 - Motherboard
8gb (4x2) of Corsair Vengeance 1600 - RAM
EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2gb - GPU
1tb Western Digital Blue - HDD
Thermaltake tr3 600w - Power Supply
I made that almost one year ago. I was very happy with it at the time. Now, however, since games are getting more and more demanding, I upgraded my graphics card to an EVGA GTX 760 4gb SC. I saw a good amount of performance increase, but I noticed on games that required a good amount of CPU power, my CPU was starting to bottleneck my GPU. Bottlenecking is basically when your processor is running at 100% trying to keep up with your graphics card causing lower fps and a huge amount of strain on your processor. If you want to see if your CPU is bottlenecking now, open task manager and look at the cpu performance while running a laggy game. If you see it around 95% to 100%, it's bottlenecking. I'm trying to change processors from the AMD Athlon x4 750k to the Intel Core i5-4670k AND I have to change motherboards too. It has become a huge hassle, so if you are building your first gaming computer, go with the intel core i5. It's a lot better on in the long run if you plan on upgrading the graphics card.
Do a video on the top 3 best AMD CPU's to date.
Ryzen threadripper, 3700,3600
I use Intel on my main gaming PC, but I've built a few AMD systems, and the 6300/6350 has got to be one of the most underrated chips. The FX chips are really good deals, and not just for gaming.
fx chip sets are unfortunately dead i think amd is moving towards a series for good.
Finally someone with a brain. :)
may sites have seen newwer games getting beytter performance with AMD builds
Hi, can I play the newest games with AMD FX-6300 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 OC, 2048MB, GDDR5 OR AMD Radeon R7 250X, 2048MB, GDDR5. Also i will record gameplay. :)
Don't expect to record on ultra. :\
Medium or Med-High???
Depends, what type of game are you going to play? i'm running a gtx 680 OC 2gb ddr on a fx 8350 oc as well,
Games like Assassin's creed 4, Battlefield 3,4, Watch Dogs.
Well, watch dogs already requires a fx8320 for low, so thats a nope, you're trying to run and record games with a budget pc, thats not really going to work. you can run battlefield tho, don't think record at ultra but you could play it.
Do you have a SSD?
and how much gb of ram do you have?
Hi Austin, stumbled on your channel while doing some research on a PC build I am doing. Great work buddy! This has made me take a look at AMD processors for the build, and maybe i'll xfer some of the cost to the GPU. Thanks!
Does anyone know what's better? A Intel i7 or gtx 960
Wanted Pickle i would go with an gtx 960 for a CPU and i7 for GPU :P
Wanted Pickle Hyperthreading is pointless for gaming... Get an i5 and spend the extra $100 on a better GPU.
norge696 Hyperthreading is only useful if you are running many programs at the same time or rendering.
norge696 I think ill go with both, a super clocked i7 3.0 5k, and a gtx 960. One thing i dont get is that why do low end processors have faster speed than the i7. The i7 im getting is 3.0 but on other builds theres a low end processor that has 3.7
Wanted Pickle Clockspeed isn't everything. The chips are just higher binned. If you absolutely need the extra threads then get the E3-1231 v3, same exact performance as an i7, just doesn't have an onboard GPU and $50 cheaper.
Thumbs up to people which buys 4770k with 760 or 750 Ti
Thumbs up for poor people !!
benabbou aissa my 7850 bless you :3
I got a amd fx 8350 with a gtx 770 lol cpu half the price
NO! crapTel and fukVidia are the worst combination for gaming pc that money can buy. AMD Phenom II or FX with Radeon R9 R295X are the best for money and way more powerful than crapIntel & fukVidia.
Thumbs up for CPU bottlenecks.
I got
Amd fx 8320
Radeon R9 270x
8gb 1660mhz
1Tb Seagate 7200rpm
With ultra settings on Bf4 it gives me 60/50fps
What should I upgrade in order to get more fps?
Proccessor and GPU, The FX 8320 is a really old processor that's obsolete today, also the R9 270x could be upgraded to something like a GTX 970.
Awww GTX 970 out of my budget buddy... Something a little bit cheaper?
What other options for CPU?
.fr3DD13.M3TAL. Get an Intel Core i5 4440 for a CPU, and save up for a GTX 970, it's better to save up rather than buy a crap one
The gtx 760 or i advise you to wait for gtx 960.
Bojan Bjelic sorry man i asked nothing.
Great video! Love that you test out different games with different cards! It's great to see the performance!
I had amd 6300 liquid cooled clocked to 4.9 ghz it served me well then I switched to an Intel i5 4690k. The difference I have seen is slightly better fps and some more consistency. Was it worth it to upgrade? No.
GTA V, BF4, crysis 3, dayz, Metro last light. I bet you haven't even owned an Amd Fx 6300. Don't talk about things you don't know about.

I Want To know what games i can Run and if i can make any changes to it to make it cost less and perform similar or better
+Julian Melo you can run every game 1080p maxed out. maybe even some 1440p and 4k depending on the game
+XboxSnipers ?
Lol with this specs u can run everything
Thanks for The Feedback :)
+Julian Melo I'd say it's worth getting an SSD to download your OS. Makes bootup times insanely fast. I just built a PC similar to your's and I'd highly suggest using an SSD. Also, if you're planning on overclocking (which I assume you are, judging by the cooler), I suggest one of the new Intel Skylake processors. Specifically the "K" unlocked variant.
Cool video! Suggestion: compare the new 860K with a lower-end i5 (4460) in a follow-up.
Most cringe-inducing "hey guys" of all time
eh i got used to it. kinda like it now. maybe im just a little gay but idk yet.
@@coolgang1234 you is gey
This clears up allot of the bias from Intel fanboys saying AMD is not appropriate for gaming. You could switch out that AMD setup without breaking the bank and get a much better FX-4300 or 6300, STILL much cheaper than that 230 dollar Intel
i7 4770 3.4 ghz
GTX 970 4GB
8 GB RAM
1 TB HDD
these specs are enough for future? or maybe upto when?
***** More than a couple.
very good
I don't think you will be able to run every upcoming game this year at ultra. Even still, it's a really good build. If you have a motherboard that supports SLI, I would recommend you to save up for another GTX 970.
MrPitiboy 290x is better than GTX 970.
Amd 300 series cards will be coming this June so no point in getting GTX 970 now.
The i7 4770 is still good, but is outdated.
Nice video, I would love to see this topic revisited now that a couple years have passed,
The athlon x4 750k is worth buying only if you are going to get a low end GPU such as 260x or 7790. If you are going to get anything like 7870 or above then it's definitely worth getting a better CPU than x4 750k. Overall id say the i5 is only worth buying if you are an online gamer, but that's just me.
Intel is generally starting to piss me off with their insane prices and frequent socket changes, i might own 1 AMD system and 1 intel system but i think my next build is going to have AMD if intel continues like this.
And finally, if you guys need a cheap but reliable gaming CPU then the fx 6300 or the intel i3 are great choices for all the new games right now, and they both cost about 100 dollars, combined with a 270x you ll be able to play all the new games in good settings.
true that, i bought the x4 750k and the r9 270x and now i have a cpu bottleneck, my cpu sucks, sometimes it chokes so badly, it drops to 26fps, but sometimes i get about 90 fps on ultra FHD, its quite weird
I currently have an athlon II 450 x3 3.7 ghz OCed
Served me really well for the past two years.
Out of impulse i bought a 7790 which was pretty stupid.
Now im looking to upgrade to an i5 4670k or non k
Then sell my 7790 and get a high end card
Yes i hate when intel fanboys say that you'll have a better upgrade path with intel than AMD.
But AMD is not doing really good at processor department as APUs are fucking stupid and inferior to the FX series when use with dedicated GPU.
2012 was Sandy Bridge
2013 was Ivy Bridge
2014 Is Haswell
2015? Broadwell not sure i dont wanna search
2016 is Skylake??
If you're going to buy an INtel processor get one of the best like i5 4670k haswell as it is equal to i7 4770k haswell and period i dont think we will be seeing consumer level i5's and i7's
I heard there will be a true octa core Haswell but it's not for gaming i guess
And it will be ridiculously Overpriced
Fernan Gomez
I have an Phenom X2 965 overclocked @3.9Ghz.... It is a 4year old quadcore and it still gives me (coupled with a R 7970) fantastic performance @1080p in everygame - it becomes bottleneck in a few games (CS:GO / LoL but I dont really care if I get 180fps vs 300 fps in counter strike ;) )
By the way you should read something about an APUs - it is not simply a CPU with decent integrated GPU as you can think..... HSA is the future as every major chip manufacturer (except intel) is member of the hsafoundation.
So give it year or two then software catches up and you get 12- compute core beast that is really efficient (amd is king at integer calculations, intel outdones their design in floating point calculation - but gpu cores can handle that a LOT better than any cpu).
My next cpu upgrade is propably gonna be an APU ;)
Yeah I have an HD 7850 and can't play BF4 16 players smoothly on medium settings :( An i3 would be the minimum I believe
Turn on subtitles on 0:41
So true
yup
RadioFlyer05 that's one expensive apple
i have intel G2030 vs Radeon 7770. Enough for most games
I also have that setup :P
Lucky you I have a Dual core e5300 at 2.6ghz with the 7770 and I feel the bottleneck in almost any game lol
I have a core i7 4770k and a GTX 780 and cant even get 10fps on minecraft ;-;
I have crappy Celeron and Intel Graphics and i can get ~30 FPS :P
xD currently i have up to 460 fps. Have you tried to use the new launcher (1.6.5) with its own java enviroment? Works fine on me!
LOL thats some strange issue in Minecraft have same problem with it
Is your monitor plugged into your graphics card or motherboard?
Are you sure it's not 1000 fps? xD Even a GT755m can get 120fps on max settings.
Why do some people think Minecraft is a heavy game?
"Oh no Minecraft is such a heavy game, I get lag all the time!"
Sure it's heavy if you compare the performance to the graphics, but it's still got a lot of blocks to load. Maybe 3 years ago, it was slow on many computers, but it's pretty old now and most computers can handle it at 30 fps.
Low-End = Cheap Processor(50-100 Euro/Dollar)
Mid-End = Middle Processor(100-130 Euro/Dollar)
High-End = Expensive processor(130-250 Euro/Dollar)
Above 250 Euro it isn't worth it for gaming.
Using Euros and Dollars interchangeably isn't very good.. seeing as 250 Euros is $345 USD. Which.. is a decent margin of error.
WarpGenesis True but most companies sadly enough work that way.
TheDutchGamer I agree, it is rather sad. I bought an i7 3770k and I'm honestly liking it, but I don't believe it's the best value for cost.
WarpGenesis
Its not...you get 5 fps for $200 more.
The Athlon is cheaper, but draws a lot more power under load than Intel, especially 4th gen. That translates to power bills as well as excess heat. That said, I have a soft spot for AMD and I don't wanna see an Intel monopoly.
***** ACtually, in 3 years, the AMD becomes the SAME price as the Intel.

And what country are we talking about?

Is it good?
Can I run at medium the next 2-3 years games?
But anyways i dont know why minecraft with shaders lags...(30 fps)
Your graphic card is a mid-range card but still a good card. Better buy 8gb ram and a gtx 970 or r9 290. You can always upgrade your ram in the future for less money.
Not a 280X? Man.
280x is just too overpriced,I can overclock a 280 and make it become a 280x
Andrea Mancini No you cant.
Would this be a good budget build to play games like Arma 3 and Battlefield 4 on decent settings?

Going off topic for a second here, is the Radeon 7970 worth it? Someone who has it can tell me how much fps do they get in next gen titles
I was planning to get I7 intel amd raedon 7970 for my pc
if your gaming and not editing, go with core i5, if your gaming and editing, then go with the core i7.
Well yeah a 7970 is pretty damn fast especially for the price,but buying it new you should check out the 280x's aswell as they are the same card for cheaper in some cases.That said you can pick up a 7970 for only like 250 bucks which is awesome.
thanks for the reply :D.
The ASUS DIRECT CUII is a monster card. Literally. It takes up 3 fucking slots. But it rivals the TITAN, beating it in a few games and is comparable to maybe a 780.
thats amazing the athlon kicks ass

Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Why does this dude look like the guy on the Warheads candy..?
the 750k can still run with modern day games.
it really hold its own nowadays (760k user here) my friend has a 750k
+Danny Daniel No i have it paired with a r9 280 3gb (7950) and i bottlenecks almost all open world games
Simon B I know it does. he never said it didn't, just for an old cpu and a budget one at that it has held itself really well
Danny Daniel I'm going to get an 860k. I was gonna get the g4560 but I don't wanna buy ddr4 ram
Uh no, Dont get the 860k. Get the G4560, the FM2 socket is dead. Plus the G4560 will smash the 860k in gaming
for the love of god please stop with that intro you do..."HEY GUYS!!! THIS IS AUTISM!!!" like i mean it makes you look bad and im sure im not the only one thinking about it.
RossLinden97 I LAUGHED SO HARD ABOUT THAT AUTISM JOKE :DDDDD You just made my day
Bart Breedveld lmao
gustavo oviedo I'm the retarded one? lmao I guess you can't calculate the time from 1997-2015. So that would make you a little kid that cant do math.
RossLinden97 lol copy paste from zigzack54 on the Budget gpu video which you replied to so don't act like its a coincidence
Kantoast it is.
In all honesty, I am utterly torn.
I have just done my latest build, and its the SkyLark, and so its an all new setup.
My 2 previous builds are AMD 8350 ( 8x4Ghz @ 4.7Ghz ) and I7 970 Hex Core ( 12x3.2Ghz @ 4Ghz )
In truth, I only bought the SkyLark purely on a show-off reason and no other. I have a gammy hand and I am utterly unable touse my left hand in any serious gaming capacity any more, and so most games are now out of my life, and this is killing me, but I play Snooker and Pool games, plus the WarHammer Dawn Of War games, and I have kept the Skylark on my ATI 7770 Vapour X Crossfire ssetup as they play all my games at highres absolutely spot on.
I have a paif or GTX 740 cards that are pretty much going to waste and are not being used, but its simply because they dont play the games I play any better, but they are hotter, and each double the power, so it makes sense to me, to keep to the ATI cards... Hell it would make even more sense to only have one and not both. Crossfire does nothing for the games I play .
The CPU too... I occasionally convert home videos from various sources of home camera, into DVD format for our club, and in truth, it does all the footage in about an hour whether I use the AMD or the I7 980 - there is not really all that much in it, but I tried the Skylake for a giggle, and it did it in 40 minutes... That was not at all anywhere near as good as I was hoping it would be.
I am therefore thinking, that this SkyLark for me and my own needs, was a bit of a waste of money.
I am glad I got it, please dont get me wrong, but I am not going to get any actual benefit at all for it over my AMD or even the old I7.
Of course, many will disagree, but thats how I feel.
man for 99 bucks get the fx6 cores and still save 130 dollars than that shit intel crap
+Marshall fuck that; a used Fx6 cores is 25 bucks used on ebay. Worth.
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
+gmrb79s The new i3's of intel outfperform the FX6### in games
AMD is kinda a joke these days when it comes to having the CPU power where it counts. Intel chooses fast cores over many cores and it shows these days, most games run better on intel..
+gmrb79s Intel is over 9000 times better than AMD
+Triple CZ and a lot more expensive
I'm putting in a GTX770 with an i7 4770k for my new project.
go with an i4 4670 and put the extramoney into the gpu
tom5243 or an SSD :)
DeadNullermand If he wants faster load times then sure. But i dont see the -10 seconds that helpful
i cant see go higher than i7, since its only giving him like 2-4 fps more. and upgrade the graphics card? well a GTX 770 is now almost optimized. a GTX 780 is the next step, and its a little more expensive than the difference between i5 and i7
I was talking about the SSD. I personally dont see the 10 seconds less you get while booting that helpful since i turn my computer on and then get a drink or something
If i have a good RAM and graphics card but not a good cpu will i still be able to run most games smoothly e.g. Gta v?
I don't think so. Games kind of rely on everything
EcKo_Freeze can't give you an answer because a good graphics card could mean anything from a GTX 960 or a GTX 980 Ti so we really need the details on what CPU you have and so on
EcKo_Freeze you going to want to spend about the same amount on a cpu as you did on your gpu. just save a little longer and dont skimp on prices, you get what you pay for.
MikeyC831 Games do not rely on everything. They USE everything, but the biggest factor is the GPU.
If your computer has a 4 core processor (at least) and 8Gb of RAM (again at least), then you have the basic framework to play games.
Then the GPU is what matter most. And that comes down to preference and circumstance.
EcKo_Freeze Here is the basic framework the BARE MINIMUM CPU I would say you should use (if you are building first time) is an Athlon X4 850k. ($80ish in price). And 4GB of RAM. I would recommend getting an FX 6300 CPU and 8GB of RAM if you are going for cheap and good.
But in all honesty, you you can't afford 8Gb of RAM a decent CPU and good GPU, then you need to put a little more money into it. You shouldn't skimp on anything.
I Am Huge Fan Of Yours And Really Glad That I Reffered To Your Channel But I Have A Question That I Am Converting My Old Pc Into A New Gaming PC It Consist Of A Dual Core Processor And A Bit Old Motherboard, So I just Wanna Ask That Do I Need to Replace My Motherboard To Support Intel Core I3 Or I Just Invest That Money Into A Better Graphics Card......
I'll Be Waiting For Your Humble Reply Sir....
Could also take note that games these days are horribly optimized for PC so its not the hardware that's lacking. Its the fucking developers half assing the game or the publishers rushing them to do it.
10 years later, the most updated comment
FX 8350 will dominate every i5 in existenece (as of march 22nd 2014)
even an amd fx 8320 will do (I have it XD).
No. the fx 8320 gets outclassed a bit by the i5 4670k while the fx 8350 outclasses the i5. hell the fx 8350 is often compared to the "low end" i7s (they arent low end cpus but thats what ive heard ppl calling them)
mrbatistabomb2 8320 and 8350 use the same chipset but the 8350 is just a little higher clocked version od 8320. and i can overclock the 8320 to perform like a 8350 or better. ( I use water cooling).
ff7soldierff7 they are on the same chip and stuff BUT the fx 8350 is the top of the line amd CPU. and i am not calculating overclockings, because if that was the case the fx 9590 would destroy every CPU in existence, since it needs watercooling and it is an already overclocked fx 8350. the 500 mhz on the fx 8350 really make a diffrence in performance
mrbatistabomb2 still I boughyt the fx 8320 because its more value for money.
The more cores the better now. especially with mantle
mantle can run with less cores, they had a demo of a 8350 unlocked to 2Ghz and it still didnt bottleneck bf4
it still had 8 cores but less ghz
but less cpu power is needed showing it could run battlefield 4 on 2 cores(intel)/4 threads(intel HT)
Mantle is about the GPU not the CPU. Mantle will decrease CPU overhead meaning you will need less powerful CPUs. Some games are taking advantage of more cores but intel still over performs amd.

come on AMD release it already
I'm thinking about using a AMD FX 8350 as the 8 cores should help when live streaming

Great CPU in Multi Threaded,Multi Core performance.Does great on Intensive Apps too,Go for it !
Okay what processor are you talking about? I'm planning to get a 9590
EnderBuilder It would be cheaper and better to go for a 8350 or i7, you would need to water cool the 9590 otherwise itl cook itself
well I getting the newegg bundle with liquid cooler that's been tested.
I get 30-50fps while playing GTA v on lowest settings with an Athlon 860K at 4GHz and a R7 260X at 1150MHz.
Could I get more fps with an i5 CPU?
Thinking of upgrading to intel when they release 1151 socket (think it was 1151)
Wiikendz change to intel trust me you wont regret it, I've just changed my to i5 30 minutes ago and wow the performance is a massive upgrade. have fun upgrading :D
mr potato im just not sure if its worth the price.. it would cost like $450 for CPU and Mobo..and thats alot of money for 2 things..
yea i know haha but i guess its worth it. You only live once right :p
mr potato Ill have to think about it.. Ill start with selling some old computers I have and see if I can find a way to get some more money :P then I guess I can sell the old mobo and CPU if I get new ones :P
thats a good decision haha :p btw where do you live as in what country
Thanks, the information was really useful

I am going for the core i5.
I don't know why but I feel it's better..I trust Intel...

An AMD 6300fx is enough to game or even a AMD APU like the A10 series. no need for a high end i7 CPU to game on. I use a AMD 8350FX I can play games on that and it plays my games nicely.. I just need a better GPU. than my 460GTX but even that gives me decent FPS..
It all depends on the application you'll be using the CPU for. Personally, I'm planning on building a gaming computer that will not only work well for the latest PC games, but also for console emulators such as Dolphin. Dolphin (and probably other emulators) relies heavily on the CPU and Intel CPUs have been shown to provide better performance vs comparable AMD CPUs. Given that I'll need a powerful Intel CPU for emulation, I'm planning on going with the i7 4790K along with a GTX 970 (which I can eventually upgrade with SLI) for decent PC and emulator gaming.
is Intel Pentium G3258 with GTX 750 ti Bottleneck ?
No
I agree with UliPuli. You should be ok depending what kind of game you are planning to play.
I saw a video where they could play Titanfall in medium or high and it was smooth.
thanks Eric Bruyere
If you overclock it to at least 4 Ghz then no.
Titanfall is really not demanding. My rig is a Phenom II 965 with an HD7870 ghz edition and I could play everything to the max. The 860k is equal strenght to my cpu atm.
yeah I would like to be a pc gamer but if im going to spend 300 on a single pc part I will just buy an xbox 1
and thats why intel overcharge
£55 for an 860k
+matt carnes You can build an entire PC for 300$ that will play games. You don't have to use the parts he listed in the video.
+matt carnes ye go buy that and play on 720p low settings 30fps. enjoy sucker.
+Stuarrt Spohn or get secondhand parts and you"ll get a better pc
hey guys im gonna build my first gaming cpu! tell me if this will last a couple of years! help out a fellow gamer brothers :)
AMD FX-6300
NVIDIA GTX970 OR AMD R9 290X
Z97 (motherboard)
8GB RAM
AKSHAY KARTHIK I think it will last, may be better if you went with nvidia to be safe; they usually get driver updates first
Mawjad Towerz thank you sir :) oh and the processor is fx-8320
AKSHAY KARTHIK go to this web site and ask they will set you up with the best build for your budget www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/
Tony Cruz thank you :)
AKSHAY KARTHIK thats a motherboard chipset not the actuall mobo. And its not compatible with your CPU. Go to pcpartpicker.com for compatibility and other tips.
OH MAN! AUSTIN!. This scared me at first, even though i've seen you through this phase but man, you've cleaned up!
This video can cause people to misuderstand few things.
So if you take like some cheap ass AMD cpu and combine it with GTX 970 or other high end GPU, you will be creating a bottleneck, your CPU can't keep up with the GPU.
Even AMD FX series is pretty shitty, I had FX 8350 with GTX 970 and that gpu was bottlenecking my GPU pretty badly, it wasn't able to use the full capacity of the GPU.
Therefore I sold that CPU and bought i5 4690k, soon as I started playing, I noticed a huge difference, it was like night and day.
Those who don't believe that, are morons, it has been proven by multiple benchmarks.
So go with intel if you want to buy a High end GPU.
Pick a AMD cpu if you aren't going to pay much for your GPU, like if you're getting a low to mid-range gpu.
Note for all haters, even though you might think that I'm a Intel fanboy and AMD hater.
I don't hate AMD nor love intel, I only buy the hardware which is giving me the gaming performance that I'm looking for and I advice that you do that too.
Don't always go with the "cheap" as you might get disappointed even if you see all of the benchmarks and other things, it might not be for you.
Most of PC gamers want to game at least 1080p and with high to ultra settings, you can't pull that off with cheap amd cpu and low end gpu.
So think before buying anything, it might sound as a good deal, but most likely it's not.
"your CPU can't keep up with the GPU." This varies greatlly from game to game. I've seen 64 player game BF4 at 60-75 fps on an x4 860k without overclocking which I imagine it's gonna be sufficient unless your monitor isn't 60Hz.
I tried different games and everything run pretty shitty, I knew that it wasn't using the full capacity of my gpu.
I couldn't believe it, I tought that FX series would be more high end but no.
Jumal T.T Unrelated: I want a pentium quad core to exist...
Jumal T.T Maybe you hadn't your CPU cores unparked.
I tried with coreparking and without it and it didn't help, still the same issue appeared.
amd fx 6300 is the best value for money cpu!......the best one between 110-130 euros
Nah bro. The best cpu between 100 and 130 is any random i3 out of the 4000 Generation. It doesnt run slower and can be upgraded later. And the 860k already has higher single core performance.
Btw this comes from a AMD guy. (long live team red)
ok men...didn't know that!
+Skyrim Dude44 Calm down, kiddo
i have the fx6300 with an gtx960. its an alright cpu. but i wouldn't recommend it. as its starting to get old. it generates a lot of heat as well. it would be better to use a bit more money to buy an i3 or the fx8350
+TheoGR 2000 Euros?... DOLARS PLZ DOLARS.!
love ur vids but just, ugh ur head...
Thank you this is exactly the kind of video i was looking for.
Thanks Austin! Your videos rock!
Barber: What haircut do you want?
Him: Just fuck my shit up.
Nice video Austin i'm ashamed i didn't find your videos sooner
Awesome dude, I don't usually put comments but this video was really good
Thanks Austin i really liked your video, but i have one query
Q. Can z97 gaming 5 or z97 gaming 7 or z97 pro wifi ac motherboards run 2 gtx 980 gpus?
Thanks! I looked for a video like this!
Hey Austin i wonder how you get all the parts do you buy them? or maybe borrow them? or do the companys send the parts to you? also last question all your extra stuff like all your computers cameras and so on have you bought them yourself?
I like your shirt man! Thanks for the advice btw.
Barber: "What haircut do you want?"
Austin: "Once, I got electrocuted"
Barber: "Say no more, fam"
I'm still rocking an i7 4770k, best CPU I've ever bought, still keeps up well even without overclocking. Cost about 200 euros back in the day
Good job Austin. Keep going!
another nice video . good job . i would go with the fx 6300
Thanks for the video, but this test is kind of incomplete without testing the same cards on a faster processor chip, don't you think?
Great video, thank you Austin Evans.
Lately i struggle with my video card which is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 2048MB DDR3 so i decided to buy a better one.
I don't want to make a mistake buying the wrong and not compatible GPU, so if anyone can help me out with an advice, would be much appreciated.
Specs are these :
source : DEM-ATX-500W-PFC
mother board : MSI A55-G41 PC Mate
CPU : AMD Athlon(tm) X4 750K Quad Core Processor ( I overclocked it up to 4,02 GHz )
RAM : 8 GB DDR3 @ 689 MHz
monitor : Belnea ( 1680×1050@59Hz)
My budget would be around 200 euro + -
I will use it for gaming.
Thank you in advance !
I'm going with an i3-4160 paired with an EVGA 2GB GDDR5 GTX 750 Ti SC for my next budget build. The i3's got great single threaded performance compared with AMD's line up, which is important for the XBox 360 / PS3 generation of games I can currently get really cheap, where at most 2 cores are required for maximum performance, while the additional hyperthreading can take care of the boring general PC stuff that goes on in the background.
The 750 Ti SC is one of those small but mighty (for it's bracket) jobs. With a much lower TDP than the equivalent AMD, the less demanding cooling solution required for it can also be correspondingly quieter than the AMD alternative. Also, it supports GPU programming and PhysX using CUDA, which is something I'd really like to get in to.
My current system, which I've been using for a very, very long time, is based around a S939 Athlon 64 X2 4800+, MSI nForce3 DDR motherboard and a MSI 256MB DDR2 AGP(!?!) Radeon HD 2600 Pro, that likes Windows XP, but only works with graphics acceleration on Windows 7 by disabling one of the two cores of the Athlon. My budget is limited, so going for the i3, which is around 3x more powerful than the Athlon (on Windows XP) and the 750 Ti SC, which is at least 6x more powerful than my current GPU, with full support for Windows 7 and above, is an upgrade that's really badly needed right now.
I'm also putting them on a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK motherboard for plenty of upgrading headroom later on. For example, an i7-4790K, that's more than twice as powerful as the i3-4160, paired with a future Pascal/Volta GPU that's at least 3x more powerful than the 750 Ti SC, having at least as much performance as a GTX 980, while also running with a much lower TDP than the 980 for quiet cooling, to be obtained once DirectX 12 hardware fully matures.
Damn how to you pick these parts up? also if you dont mind me asking where do you buy your parts?
Hi guys, I'm saving money and I'm gonna build a new PC and i want to hear your guys toughts on it.
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K
GPU: Nvidia GTX 950 msi
Motherboard: MSI A78M-E35
RAM: 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport
Hard Drive: 1TB Western Digital Black
Power Supply: Corsair VS Series™ VS550 - 550 Watt Power Supply
Case: Corsair SPEC-01
Monitor: BenQ GL2250
Keyboard: Corsair STRAFE
Mouse: SteelSeries Rival
MousePad: SteelSeries QCK+
The maximum I'm willing to spend on a new setup is around 900€. What do you think? Should I replace some parts or nah?
Is this a decent machine for streaming CS:GO on Twitch because that's what I'm planning to do in the future.
I only need the PC for Sims 3/ Sims 4 do I need a good CPU?
Wow !! Love what you're doing out there
do you even Pentium G3258 bro? :P but could you do an Athlon X4 750k vs Pentium G3258 video? :D Thanks in advance!
Hi Austin. Currently I'm upgrading from an R7 250 gpu to a gtx 760 and am using a amd athlon X4 750. Will I still see a decent increase in performance or is my cpu too outdated? I'm only looking to get 1080p on medium to high settings with a decent fps on a single screen.
Mostly I've been playing older things. The most graphically intensive game I play right now is Skyrim and I get performance I like on it. I'm just wondering if I can get decent performance on something like Arkham Knight or maybe Fallout 4 at some point.
Just a quick question, I am considering building a computer, and I'm worried that the CPU will not be able to handle the GPU. These are the specs I'm looking at. AMD FX-8320 CPU 3.5Ghz
AMD 990FX Motherboard
16GB DDR3-1866Mhz
120GB SSD
2TB Hard Disk
AMD R9-290X GPU
Antec Three Hundred + 750w PSU
A response will be much appreciated.
Is this a good setup?
CPU: i5 4460 [3.2GHz]
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4GB
Motherboard: ASUS B85-PRO GAMER, Socket-1150
RAM: 8gb
SSD: 240gb
SSD/HDD: 2TB
Current build:
AMD FX 6300 6 core - CPU
EVGA 750 FTW - Graphics card
Asus M4A79XTD EVO - Mobo
2x8Gb Corsair Vengeance - RAM
750 watt power supply, and a wifi card for LAN parties. May upgrade that Graphics card soon to a GTX 980.
However with this setup, I can easily run ANY game in my steam library (with the exception of Evolve) at Ultra settings. Always hit around 60-80fps with FPS games, and 75-120fps with anything else.
Highly impressed because I only spent $495, and it outperforms a $1200 gaming PC i bought last year.
By your graphics card, do you mean a EVGA GTX 750 FTW?
yes
I have a question for you Austin, I just built a new PC (for only $350!!) but I am not getting good framerates in some games that i know should be better. I have a MSI GeForce GTX 760 (Twin Frozr) and i got a really cheap but good AMD Phenom II x4 840 (Quad-Core/3.2 GHZ) with 8GB RAM. Is there some sort of bottleneck in this build or is this really the max performance i can get from it?
+JustAnotherRUclipsr The Phenom is the bottleneck. Yes it might be a quad core, but the architecture is old and pretty much lags behind the Athlons.
Austin Evans I'm running on an APU A8 3870K. What would be the best graphics card to get the most out of it? I was thinking of going with a 7890.
Hi Austin Great Vid,
What choice is the best here. I want a balance pc to do multitasking (not heavy), music, word, gaming (not to ultra settings). FX 8320 + R9 280X OR I5 4690K + R9 280X. Will I have any BOTTLENECK by this 2 choices ?
Thank you
i5 easily man, dont let the AMD fanboys fool you.
Juliangs200™ PVP
Are you kidding? have fun multitasking with one thread,im sorry but don't listen to this fanboy both are good cpu's but the 8320 would better suit your description.
Rangattack Are you stupid? I'm not an Intel fanboy first of, and the 8320 is an old ass fucking outdated proccessor that is no match for a Haswell i5, Like it or not, it's the truth
Juliangs200™ PVP
Your probably right,in most cases the i5 will destroy the 8320 especially in games
but the i5 lacks hyperthreading and lot's of threads. and the 8320 may be old but it overclocks.An overclockable i5 costs alot where i live like $300+ where the amd cost's like $170 so it was an easy decision,But i agree the intel is the better cpu in overall.
Rangattack
And he will not get close to bottlenecking with both cpu's
I have a question, I'm planning to buy GTX 1060 (6 GB) GPU next week and I'm thinking if I should buy a GPU or PS4 Slim instead because my PC specs isn't that good, so if I buy GTX 1060 it might not perform well because of my CPU. Do you think my CPU will bottleneck GTX 1060?
My PC Specs is:
*(It's Dell XPS 8300)*
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~ 3.4GHz
16 GB RAM
and also I'm using Samsung Monitor 24'' 60hz
Which in your opinion would be better? pcpartpicker.com/p/R4vkBm or pcpartpicker.com/p/kLxQWZ ? I would be doing 50% video editing and 40% recording minecraft gameplay and 10% after effects. I dont do really heavy video editing. Maybe like once or twice a week? And for after effects. I use it for doing intros greenscreend and muzzle flashes. Any replies would be appricieted :D
I think that the biggest issue here is the lack of multi-threading in games. The Athlon has 2 cores and is hyperthreaded, while the i5 had 4 cores. I kind of wonder if using a higher-end GPU actually unlocked cores? It doesn't sound likly, but what if the system actually chose to not use extra cores because it detected that the GPU was the bottleneck anyway? I dunno, just a theory. An unlikely one, but not completely illogical, I think.
If your CPU can execute the game, then that processor is ready for gaming, high or ultra settings depend exclusively of the graphic card. You can even play BF4 in Ultra with an APU (Kaveri) or with an Intel Pentium.
hey so i have a intel core i7 in my hp pavilion dv7 and i want to build a desktop for gaming... is it worth opening my hp to put the i7 from this into the desktop or should i just buy the i5 or athlon... nice video
The HP Pavilion DV7 is a laptop, and laptops cannot have any parts removed and used on a desktop build. You also cannot add a graphics card to the laptop. I would go for the i5 If you have the money.
Austin, question. I have this processor, as well as a amd radeon xfx edition r7750 graphics card. Is there a way I'll still be able to use the ports on the motherboard for video? there is only one hdmi on my graphics card so to use my 2nd display ill have to get a displayport cable and I really don't want to wait that long l0l
excuse me sir i want ask question between i5 6600 vs i5 6600K score difference i5 6600k better the cpu did overclocking or didnt anything?
Dude
Is core i5 processor 2500k n a graphic card of r9 270x is enough for recnet games ?
Reply
Coz m bit confuse to choose between graphic card models n even on i5 models
I have a i5 4460 and a Radeon HD 6450 . Games run perfect.
+Joshverd WTF? a 6450? why?
+Matteo De Vellis Could be budget constraints.
+wchbd yeah. I could not spend much on the gpu. It fits my needs though.
wchbd an i3 and a gtx 750ti or 260x or a 370 would have been a thousand times better
+Spoo Derman oh no. Rocket league, h1z1, and rust all run 60 fps at medium settings 1080p.
