£500 Budget Build. Advice

[Mr Dobing]

I asked a question earlier with some different parts so sorry for double posting.

I've been tasked with building a capable gaming rig for under £520.

So far I have this (all off CCL so we can pickup on Sat)

CPU- AMD FX-6300 @3.5Ghz

RAM - G.Skill F3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz

HDD - WD Blue 1TB

MOBO - ASRock 970 Pro3

PSU - Corsair CX500 Builder Series 500W

CASE - CHEAPPPP (not worth even posting haha)

GPU - Palit NVIDIA GTX760 2GB JetStream OC edition

TOTAL - £504.81

I am quite pleased with this build and the price!

Anyone else agree this is the best bang for buck I can get?

Cheers

Yeah it's nice, but you might want to pick a different PSU, the CX series by corsair are not meant for gaming, and never were.
I don't know about pricing in your country, but you should look into some 80+ bronze certified PSU's made by seasonic or XFX as they are made of high quality parts. Here is one: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

Thanks Romeru, that is a similar price as the Corsair. I will see if I can get this instead.
