Best hardware for a 650$ pc?

[daxtera nikolov]

Hello. This is my first time building my own custom pc and i would like to see if my build is most bang for my buck and is stable. The parts>> http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FjjRgs

What about an operating system?

 

[Rationale]

An FX-6300 would be a better choice. The FX-8320 will only help at all in games that use 8 cores, which is very few.
And an even better choice for most games would be an i3-4150 or an i3-4330.

Ps; No operation system needed

Rationale is right, for your budget the FX-6300 would work better for you.

Wont the fx 8320 be somewhat future proof ?

There will pretty much always be a better CPU or other component to help alleviate the whole future-proof issues, but there are not really many or any games I can list off the top of my head that uses 8 cores. If you want to aim for future proofing I would suggest the 8350 instead of the 8320 or 6300. It offers a higher clock per core and is better for future proofing. There are many games that do not utilize four cores well enough yet, and since noone can predict what requirements there will be in a few years, but four cores will probably be the norm within 3-4 years. And six cores or more, I have no clue when that will become the norm. Also figuring in clock speeds will be increasing for each core, with stock clocks becoming greater to decrease the reason for people to overclock. For example the newer version of one of Intel's CPUs has a .5 GHz increase over the previous similar CPU for stock. So I feel that higher clocks and/or more cores will be fighting it out the next ten years.

So if you are simply playing games, look up the recommended system specs and take a gut instinct. I had a larger budget when I put my PC together so I opted for a lot of cores and other powerful components. But for your budget a graphics card is more important to pair with a good clocked quad core processor, 8 GB RAM, maybe a small SSD for OS only with a normal HDD for everything else. Just my two cents.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have another qustion tho. Will my graphics card bottleneck my cpu if get the 8350? Should i opt for the 6300 and a better gpu? Maybe the r9 270x?

 

[NBSN]

Yeah, if the r9 270x fits your budget then definitely would be a perfect fit.
