Hi
Basically im new to this but i need a new computer and have decided that alongside doing music production i would also like to do PC gaming. I've never built a computer before so i don't really know what im doing but i still managed to pick out some parts from reviews, guides and such. I have no idea if there compatible with one another, so id appreciate if you could help with that. here's what i got :
Processor - AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8320 3.50Ghz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail
Graphics card - SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 270X Dual-X OC 2GB GDDR5
RAM - G.Skill RipjawsX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Motherboard - ASUS H81M-PLUS Intel H81 (Socket 1150) Motherboard
Power supply - Novatech 750Watt Power Station V2 Black Edition Modular Power Supply 80Plus Bronze
Hardrive - SeagateBarracuda 7200.12 2TB 64MB Cache Hard Drive SATA 6 Gb/s 7200rpm - OEM
Total £487 (not counting case)
So basically is it a good build and is it capable to do pc gaming with (Keep in mind im aiming for £500) am i missing anything or do i have all the parts needed, also is there any thing that i could/should upgrade?
(P.S im aware ill need a sound card, but im going to leave that till after i get the basics down)
