I’ve been thinking and researching for a new (and my first) pc build.
I have a budget of 600 euros.
The games I have been playing recently are:
BF4, CoD Ghosts, Assassins creed Blackflag, WoW, Planetside 2, etc…
I want to play those games and any upcoming games lag-free, but don’t mind sacrificing graphic quality for it (I don’t mind playing on medium graphic Settings).
Apart from gaming I will be using the pc for web surfing, streaming movies, and CAD programs e.g. CATIA or Solid Edge (I’m not going to construct huge or difficult pieces or do huge calculations with this computer).
So as the title suggests I was thinking about getting the FX-6300 or 6350 for this build, but am open to the ideas of a high i3 or cheap i5, I’m not going to overclock anything. (Also thinking that future games will be able to take advantage of the 6 cores of the FX). I would also appreciate any suggestions to good motherboards or power supply unit to consider for the build (MB should have USB 3.0, and I would prefer to have a Modular PS)
CPU:?
MB:?
GPU: Radeon R9 270X
RAM: 2x4Gb Ballistix 1600MHz DDR3
HDD: Seagate Baracuda 1TB
DVD: LG 24x
PS:?
OS: Win 7 64bit
Case: Sharkoon MS120 M-ATX

Its fine but the H81 chipset is very limited so no overclocking or sli i would get H87 if u can but that board should do for your purposes i guess you can upgrade in the future if u want.
since you are playing on planing on playing wowand planetside 2, intel all the way, those games rely heavily on strong ipc, for motherboard i would suggest one of the z87 or z97 boards and i5 4690, or if thats to much i3 4370 as for the power supply im not an expert in that fiel take a look here http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html any one of tier 1 or tier 2 class a or b will be good enough
