[HHA Driver] Madtrucker24 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 G'day I am thinking of building a new PC and I am just wondering if this PC specs are any good and I am also wondering if what settings I would be able to ETS2 on and Gta 5. My budget is $800 and I have found this one on PC Case Gear Specifications: Intel Pentium Anniversary Edition G3258 Processor, MSI B85M-E45 Motherboard, ASUS Radeon R7 360 OC 2GB graphics card, 8GB Team Group Elite Plus DDR3, Seagate Barracuda 1TB hard drive, Corsair Carbide SPEC-03 Mid Tower Gaming Case, Windows 7 Home Premium and more!System Components: CPU: Intel Pentium Anniversary Edition G3258 Motherboard: MSI B85M-E45 Motherboard Graphics: ASUS Radeon R7 360 OC 2GB Memory: Team Group Elite Plus TPKD38G1600HC1101 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3 Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB ST1000DM003 Power Supply: Corsair VS550 ATX Power Supply Case: Corsair Carbide SPEC-03 Mid Tower Gaming Case Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OEM License Web Link: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1411&products_id=33305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandre Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I can put up a cart to you soon, don't buy those parts, please =S Edit: Here comes a image! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inthernet Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It would help if you know how to assemble it yourself. I just browsed through some Australian retailers online and a decent system for $800 is really hard to find. (Build edited, see later post) Intentionally left some budget buffer in case you may want to cut down on the number of retailers, or go straight for Win10. The GTX960 can be swapped out for the R9 380 which is generally 10% quicker by default but has far worse after-sales support (read: drivers). @ETR_Owl You left out the OS! His proposed pre-built comes with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outstandinggamer Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 So you have $800 US to spend. So I say you should build one on the pcmasterrace reddit they have a build called the next-gen exterminator and the build is future proof. You would need to add the os(If you are looking to get windows 10 get windows 7 its cheaper then get a free upgrade to windows 10) and a optical drive it needed(but do you really need one) You can change up the case just have to make sure it fits and you could add more ram too if you wanted. $706 US http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jbVHmG Check out my guides on how to match your truck color to your trailer color and sharing your GPS way points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His proposed pre-built comes with one. I thought it would be pretty clear... He has a PC now, then he can take the OS from it. If Budget: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-121-OG Put a GTX 970 & OS in them If rich: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-120-OG Make a cart with a 970 in it. Then you'll see 970 is out of budget. Why are you always recomending the 970? When i asked you for a motivation you couldn't even give me one...

Inthernet Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 PcPartPicker didn't include CPU price in my old build so that gets binned. Apologies for that, feel free to unlike that post! As I was about to re-build, I saw RBar91 has the right idea for a build within your budget. Getting an i3 with 4 threads is slightly more future-resistant but the downgrade from the GTX960 to a 750ti is too big of a hit. Therefore, the best bet is replacing the CPU with a used Core i5-4xxx around 2 years down the road. Note that he picked a smaller Micro-ATX form factor. Going full ATX with identical parts (except RAM) as RBar91 saves exactly A$1, with a total of A$803. I'd say the Kingston RAM is better than his G.Skill as it costs the same and can run at 1600mhz. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/YcwrFT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest to take the Cooler master V550 istead as it is gold certificated, otherwise a really good cart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tandre Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 ^^Well, the only thing is that you took the 2GB 380 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robi47 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 800 USD or 800 AUD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inthernet Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 @RBar91 and ETR_Owl The 4GB version is A$314, an approximately $30 premium and will take it far over budget. Go for it if you can though. At the end of the day, it's up to personal preference: The GTX960 can be swapped out for the R9 380 which is generally 10% quicker by default but has far worse after-sales support (read: drivers). Edit: I just found out the age-old rule about having more VRAM just for gimmicks doesn't apply for the 380. The 4gb is 5-10% faster in many titles compared to the 2gb.

The 4gb is 5-10% faster in many titles compared to the 2gb. Did you see the cart i put up? I fit in a 4GB 380 without to much compromising. But yeah, ofc you won't see a big difference in the most titles as they're not using more than 2GB of Vram.

Inthernet Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 @ETR_OwlIs yours in Australian dollars? The dollar price discrepancy with what I see on PcPartPicker is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MashedPotaton8r Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 You can save like $60 by ripping out (not literally ) the Hard drive and put it in the new system, if you plant to build. You already have an OS there so its worth saving. You can also re-purpose other parts from your old PC like case fans, optical drives, Sata cables and so on.

TheMcSame Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 You can save like $60 by ripping out (not literally ) the Hard drive and put it in the new system, if you plant to build. Not always the best idea, especially if it's an old system or an 'eco friendly' drive (a drive that basically turns itself off after not being used for a certain amount of time), or both.

Miles! Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 ^ I had an eco friendly drive, It was my main one for about 6 years and worked absolutely fine. I wouldn't recommend them, but they aren't bad either. Just consider them the Toyota Prius's of HDD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
