$990 Graphics Efficient Gaming PC Build Using AMD - April, 2015

GamersNexus: "We regularly emphasize that, by going with and AMD CPU and motherboard, you can utilize the savings to purchase a higher-end GPU rather than going with an Intel CPU and motherboard (for that, see our Battlefield Build we recently did). In the case of games which are not CPU-bound, this makes for an easy way to save money on building budget gaming computers."

save money for r9 300 series i know its $500+ but its worth it

stragomccloud4082d ago

I can't wait... I've already started saving for a r9 390. I'm going to wait until factory overclocked versions start rolling out though. Should give me plenty of time to save for the new card. Then I'll ride the card out for as long as I can~

I recon that it will comfortably carry you up to 2020 (1080/60fps at max settings at least) especially considering the fact that the new APIs DX12/Valkan should boost things a bit further this time around.

AudioEppa4082d ago

For $990 it better do more then play a damn game at 'omg ultra mix settings'

My Dell computer is old tho..

DragoonsScaleLegends4082d ago

I just have a r7 260x and i3 and I'm happy lol. But I might get a i5 in the future.

Khajiit864082d ago

My build is better than this for about the same exact price and its a lot more energy efficient than AMD.

stragomccloud4080d ago

I love AMD because of the performance you get for the price, but it's too bad they use so much power. Nvidia's maxwell is really efficient! I recently recommended a friend to get a 960 because to go with AMD, he would've had to have upgraded his PSU.

Reddzfoxx4081d ago

290X for $340?... Its $319 right now on Newegg and was just $279 not too long ago. $1000 goes a lot farther then this build for a great gaming rig.

ABizzel14081d ago

Agree you can get a lot more out of $1000 than this. The GPU is a great card for maxing games out, but it can be found cheaper and save you about $20+. The CPU in this build is a waste, go with the FX 6350 / 8330 for $20 - $30 more you get a much better CPU that's practically on par with AMDs best CPUs. GTA will still be hard to max at 60fps, but you'll easily be averaging 50 - 60 with those CPUs.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing56d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit56d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing56d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9256d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
