Its actually 4 GB but you know this is my old RAM right?

The one I ordered has 8GB of RAM.

May I ask why you bought a A8 6660K CPU?

Because i5/i7's are pretty expensive

and I had a certain budget.

And I believe you can play the newest games at around med-high quality with that processor,

Not like I need to play it on Ultra.

I wouldve gone with a AMD FX8350 CPU and a 990fx chipset motherboard as fm motherboards could become a problem if youd want to upgrade your CPU later and unless the integrated gpu in the CPU can be crossfired with the GPU, i dont see the point og getting an fm2 processor over the fx 8350 (or less like a 6300) besides the price difference. But the pricepoint of the setup you ordered is not bad at all for what youre getting.

I thought the amd HD 8000 series were for OEM pcs only? (PCs made by for example acer, asus, Toshiba etc), id go for this generation of amd GPUs, the r9 270x is a pretty cheap option atm.

I noticed now that the hd 8570D was the integrated gpu.

500 watt cooler master PSU not cooler lol

Yes, the hd 8570D is the integrated GPU, and as far as im informed I can always buy a different graphics card and plug it in.

This is the cheapest I could find, as im not going through solo parts.

Takes too much of my time away.

Looks nice. Btw guys if any of you need a notebook and low on budget, I'd say you should buy a Lenovo Y510P. That thing is a monster.

My brother got the gtx 755 SLI version of the Y510P, it can handle most if not all games on high settings

[B-Rabbit 1]

Yeah same version here. It can almost run any game on any settings

edit: I just played watch dogs on high settings instead of ultra. That game doesn't support sli, or my pirated one didn't

[QueNNch 515]

I'd say go for Nvidia GPU and you'll be more satisfied. I've used both brands.

But the plus side of AMD is that they give better for less money so you got that there

My major suggestion is try to find a cheap deal for an Octa( core processor because that way you'll be much better off.

Other things look fine.

This is a bundle, cant change it to an 8 core.

I would have to pay for each part separately and that is around 600 euro which is way over my budget.

It's atleast 120% better than the one I have now, so im fine with it.

Yeah... thats one of the drawbacks with a sli solution vs a powerful single card like gtx 880m (current gen) or a 780m.

I believe 880m has sli too. Dunno how much do you need to pay
