Hi everyone,
need help for this build,have some second thought on this budget gaming/rendering config,
cpu:amd fx 8300
vga:amd r7 370
ram:16gb ddr3
mb:asus M5A97
resolution:1600*900

you think this is a good idea?amd fx ones are little old for 2016,
its a tight budget gaming system at resolution above.thank you.

Yes, they are. The gaming card isn't great either. Although the resolution is low too.

Could you please answer [thread=80121]these questions[/thread]? When you answer the first, please be specific about the software you're using.

That`s what I think,still amd fx gets suggested in sites like tomshardware best cpu for money articles and price is really attractive against an i3,despite being old and hungry,
answering the questions:
1.Games,switching from console to pc,
and using audio daws like cubase and other audio softwares and running CAD softwares like autocad,windows os,
2.budget around the config I told above,maybe upgrade vga to radeon 380 or an cheapest i5,
with basic mb,
3.central asia,
no overclocking,no brand prefrences,and at resolution above:1600*900.

Here's an interesting quote for you:
EDIT: It seems that both Autocad and Autocad inventor are predominantly single-threaded apps. In that case, go with the i3 6100.

I'm not sure about the audio software.

If you don't answer the questions with specifics, we can't suggest specific parts at specific prices. :hmm:
