Budget Aussie Build

[benherbert]

Parts I've chosen:
MSI A68HM Grenade Motherboard - $79
Kingston HyperX Fury (2x8GB) - $55
Sapphire Radeon R7 240 2GB - $79
AMD A8-7600 3.8Ghz Quad Core - $119

already own case, fans, power source and a hard drive.
Will this be good enough for simple games? Ex. LoL and CSGO
Any advice or tips?
Thanks

i would choose A88X chipset instead. And make sure you choose fast RAM.

However, if you got money, probably not consider go for FM2+...

Can you recommend some fast RAM to me?

And why not a FM2+?

They are changing socket soon

RAM get DDR3 2133 or faster.

The 240 is kind of pointless since the iGPU on the 7600 is already faster.

I'd see how the AM4 APUs pan out, FM2+ is pretty dead and nothing new will come out for it.

This thread really isn't too different than your other one here:

He can run amd dual graphic (hybrid crossfire x) with a8 and r7 240. That is the only reason of keeping those

I have a dual graphics setup with a 6800K and 6670 but wouldn't really recommend it. Also, it'd be worth bumping to the 7800/7850K for additional shaders and dumping that 240 or at least upgrading to a 250 for dual graphics.
