$550 AMD Budget Build: Suggestions and or Opinion

[ZeroGravity78]

I am looking to build a gaming PC very soon but as a student I'm on a budget, what do you guys think of this build and if you have any suggestions and or would like to share your opinions with me that would be great. This is what I have so far. Also I already have a Hard drive its 320GB but if there is a way to upgrade please tell me and or add it to a build so ill be able to see it. Much appreciated.

I'm trying to built a similar built with a much better graphics card than yours for around 50 bucks more check mine out

unless your trying to OC your CPU, the CPU cooler isn't necessary.

He also has a 320gb HDD already so a new HDD wouldn't be needed right away. However should be something to look for in the near future

I recommend building your own, almost always you will get better bang/buck. Check out this build it's $15 over your budget but that was to include a R9 280 in there, you could lower cost by going with a 270X, but the 280 has an extra 1GB of VRAM.
