Can you confirm your build components and check if you can overclock your CPU?
Hello, I understand you need assistance confirming your build components. I was preparing to overclock my CPU and RAM to 1333 FSB and want to ensure everything is correct. I used the PC Part Picker link you provided: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/B4NvwV. Since this is my first build, I’m a beginner and don’t want to make mistakes. Could you help me double-check before purchasing the most expensive parts? Also, this should be a budget build.
The components all function as intended, yet I wonder why you purchase something so outdated.
Based on the benchmark videos on YouTube, this GPU and CPU combination works well compared to other budget builds. I began my old prebuilt upgrade using a Q6600, which is one of the most popular budget CPUs in affordable, quality builds. Finding good aftermarket parts proved difficult, so I realized I wouldn’t complete my build with questionable Chinese components. That led me to invest in a new CPU cooler and power supply because I couldn’t find the necessary cooler and didn’t want to rely on a PSU from my prebuilt or buy a low-quality "500w" for a cheap price. Quickly, I understood that I’m constantly changing every part of my prebuilt PC, so I decided to purchase only the missing components and build a completely new system instead.
There’s an option to upgrade the CPU, GPU, or motherboard if desired, but for now I’m fine.
I don’t think the Q6600 OC with 750 Ti is outdated. It can handle most AAA games at over 30 FPS on medium settings. Were you wondering why I didn’t opt for something more recent?
It's simply that I upgraded to a better CPU and a slightly less powerful GPU. The changes were made since the previous setup wasn't handling many AAA titles well.
