Hey Guys, 3 years ago I bought a pre-built PC (Bad Mistake) and my CPU, Power Supply and Motherboard short circuited around 2 months ago so I'm in need of a new PC.
I know very little about PC building but maybe just enough to throw a couple parts together so I really need your guys' help.
Build So Far:
CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (Is it worth adding a small SSD?)
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 650 1GB (It is $60 at the place I could get it from although I'am Undecided, I'd like $200 mark Suggestions Please)
Power Supply: Corsair Gaming 600W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply
Operating System: Windows 8 Pro 64bit
Tower: (Undecided, Nothing too fancy but a nice looking budget one please)
I plan to use this PC mainly for Photoshop, Sony Vegas, Recording Xbox Gameplay and SOME PC gaming here and there (Unfortunately my mates play Xbox One so I'm forced into that)
So I have a few questions
1. Are these parts compatible?
2. Any Suggestions/Improvements which I can make?
3. Any risks (e.g. Cutting my wattage too low)
4. Will I need a CPU Cooler?
5. If I upgrade my GPU in the near future will I be able to run something like a GTX 770
6.Any GPU suggestions around the $200 Mark?
7.Which tower should I get? Nothing too fancy but a nice looking budget one
Thanks in advance! The Help is really appreciated and Sorry for the asking so many questions.
