Decent Gaming Desktop?

[CamelOsaurous]

I was wondering if this would be a decent mid-ranged gaming computer playing games smoothly.

CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core $174.98
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 ATX AM3+ $116.98
Memory: Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 $74.99
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM $52.91
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270 2GB TWIN FROZR $139.99
Case: Rosewill Line Glow $54.99
Power Supply: Corsair CX 750W Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply 59.99
Optical Drive: SAMSUNG DVD Burner SATA Model SH-224DB/BEBE $19.99
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (OEM) (64-bit) $93.94
Total: $793.87


What kind of games could I play with this setup?

Yes it will. You could go stronger on GPU though R9 270 is more powerful http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9270gaming2g
You can play anything at acceptable settings.

Thank you, changed. Does anyone else have any information to offer?

Further savings could be had with going FX8320 and just OC it, both CPU's have a similar max OC.

Thanks, but I'm not really interested in going into overclocking. I would rather just spend the extra 20 or so dollars for a better performance without overclocking.

Then you can get away with using the stock cooler if you do not mind the noise.

I don't think the stock AMD coolers are that loud... When OC'ing they are though...

I suppose you are right there is no need for a third party fan since I am not overclocking
