    Please, evaluate my new setup.

    Hey, this is the setup I am thinking of:

    Important note
    Considering that my SONY VAIO can run Crysis 3 at med/high (more mid than high^^) settings with a 2core 2.67ghz (3ghz boost), 8gbRAM and it's integrated graphics which doesn't even have driver updates (lol) ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 i am expecting this new setup to be far better. I compared just my current GPU with the one I want at http://www.hwcompare.com/ and well, it made me smile


    I am aiming at being able to run FSX with more than 8-10FPS with bad weather conditions (I have 100gb just in addons for the Flight Sim so don't even think of the basic simulator requirements)
    I will also be running Rfactor 2, World of Warcraft, some casual FPS here and there. Will also use it for GTA 5 and Watch Dogs.

    ----------------------

    Please, feel free to suggest, but my budget can't go much further than 400 euros. (Note that Spanish pc comp prices are much lower than rest of EU for one)
    If I am not mistaken, that's the best CPU and GPU I can have for the money.


    CPU - 97,16 €
    AMD FX-6300, 6 cores, 3.5GHZ (socket AM3+)
    capable of reaching 4.6ghz for what I've read with a proper cooler.
    Not going any lower as I use FSX which demands a proper CPU too.



    GPU - 158 €
    MSI Radeon HD 7870/OC 2Gb



    MOBO - 57,9 €
    Socket AM3+. ASUStek M5A78L-M/USB3 760G Matx
    http://www.amazon.es/Asustek-M5A78L-...uctDescription



    PSU - 18€
    600W B-MOVE BULK series 120mm 1x PCIE 6p
    Will 600W be good or could 500W do it for those cpu and gpu?



    HDD - 61 €
    I found a SATA3 1T TOSHIBA in a local store. Is there anything like this cheaper anywhere?


    Case - 20 €
    Going with the same local store, they have a lot of case models, I found one which suits fairly for a proper air flow for 20 €


    I already have the RAM and a screen.


    TOTAL - around 412 euros Prices based in Spain.

    Thanks for you time!

    This is the local store, I found the CPU, GPU and Mobo cheaper out of it, but this link allows to make a setup by your own.

    It's about the cheapest you can find in Spain.

    That PSU is junk, I wouldn't power fan with it.

    Not to mention going for a i3/i5 setup would provide additional performance.

    That's something I'm afraid of as well, but then again, I need a suggestion.

    It's hard to give a suggestion when we can't get a spanish webstore. Do you know any?

    Yes, my bad I'm sorry. This is the store:
    http://www.info-coste.com/configura-tu-pc#

    PSU is the second option, called "fuentes alimentacion" in caps.

    This AMD cpu seems performs just as good as most of i4 and it's far cheaper. I say this from my own i4.

    I'd love to go with Intel and Nvidia, but those ranges are too expensive for my budget.
