PC for 500€ (650$)

Im using an A8 APU works for anything i throw at it

Are you going to use it for games? Or just internet, music, movies?

you could throw in a SSD in there. it really makes a difference

I would change the:

1. Motherboard: Asus M5A78L LE (same price AM3+)
2. CPU: AMD FX-6300 Black Edition - could be OC'd pretty well (and a bit cheaper)
3. Graphics card: Sapphire HD 7770 GHZ Edition (or higher depending on budget)

for $650 you could probably get a discrete graphics card instead of integrated which would be a lot better for performance

This is amazing , i paid 500€ for a pc that's at least 4 times worst than this 6 years ago .

• that ram = ~expensive + you don`t need it
• I`d buy a WD caviar green for a storage hdd
• I don`t think you need an aftermarket cpu fan if you go for the default settings
• dedicated gpu is a wise option :P

MSI B75MA-E33 LGA 1155, mATX, Ret / i5-3470 / MSI GTX 660 oc / Hynix 4gb 1600 (x 2 ?) / WD Caviar Blue 1Тб, HDD, SATA III / Tower Zalman Z9 / DVD-RW samsung/Hipro HPC 500W(or w/e) / Cooler TITAN TTC-NA32TZ/R(or any like this ) / ( 60+200+200+ 25(x2? rly need 8?)+50+60+15+40+10) = 660 = WAY MORE POWERFUL PC , np

where are you from I think for that money you can get better one

Forget about apu's....

You will get a far better pc if you use a Phenom II X4 and a hd 7770 GHz edition, and for ram, 4gb e enough.

My specs are: Phenom II X4 954be, 4Gb ddr2 1333Mhz, sapphire hd 7770 Ghz edition, OCZ 500W PSU and a zalman z11 case.

HDD and aftermarket cooler i already had.

I only spent 400€ including shipments.

I play FarCry3 everything maxedout @ 1440x900 at around 45fps, some ocassional frame drops.

On Europe, i recommend "pixmania", cheap prices.

I bought as a Christmas gift this config for 600€:

1. Tower: Aerocool Strike-X Advance
2. Supply power: Aerocool Strike-X 600W
3. CPU: i5-3450
4. Motherboard: AsRock H77 Pro4/MVP
5. SSD: Samsung 830 128Gb
6. Ram: Corsair Vengeance 2x4Gb 1600Mhz
7. Graphic Card: Sapphire HD 7850 2Gb
8. DVD: Lg

If you have a budget of 600€, you can save something buying an HDD instead of a SSD (mine was 110€)

I could come up with a considerably more powerful build using parts from Newegg, but if you're in Spain I'm not sure where you're buying from and how much you're setting aside for shipping costs.

buy a dell that uses an AMD A10-6800K processor which should cost 600 USD and comes with windows 8, keyboard, and mouse. With the 140 USD leftover from the budget and not needing to buy an operating system spend the leftovers on an AMD Radeon HD 6670. Then use the AMD A10-6800K and AMD Radeon HD 6670 in AMD dual graphics mode. Total cost = 680 usd with an operating system included

or switch the AMD A10-6800K and 2133 mhz ram for an AMD Phenom II x4 965 and 1333 mhz ram and use the savings for an AMD Radeon HD 7770

Suggest this:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570 4x3,50
GeForce GTX 650 Ti or better check here
Motherboard Asus P8B75-M LE
WD Green 1TB SATA-III
RAM: Kingston HyperX DDR3 2X 4GB

I'd rather spend less on cases, fans and RAM (overpriced RAM is overpriced), and get a GPU, maybe an HD 7770, good low budget card, runs everything fine.

with 500€ gaming PC you can easily fit an 650 or 7750. Spend less on the power supply and don't buy the DVD reader.

Look at this I found on my google docs, once I chose the components for a 500€ PC, don't remember why, but check it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuMaHp5udgq0dFhtVTEzRDNZMkpPMnRtSF94ajlMSHc#gid=0 is 4Gb, but is enough, one friend plays games on high details even with 4Gb of RAM, but you can spend around 60€ instead of 34€ and get 8Gb of RAM.
