I just want to get advice on my list of materials for my pc I plan to build and any changes that should/need to be made!
GPU: sapphire radeon 270x 2gb
CPU: amd fx 6300 or 6350 (which is better)
MOBO: asus m5a88-v evo
PWR SPPLY: corsair 500w
RAM: Corsair vengeance blue (2x4gb)
Case: Apevia X-cruiser 3
I believe that is all. Also, am I missinf anything?

Whats your budget?

 

[CTurbo]

You can do better than the parts listed.

@ahmadjonBudget is about under $800! I was also looking at an m5a99fx pro R2.0 MOBO.
@cturbo how and what would be better?? (This is for a gaming computer, but I thought that went without saying)

 

[CTurbo]

Do you need to buy a monitor or windows with that $800?

I will need to purchase windows operating system with that as well. For the computer itself I am planning to spend roughly $700

This would get you going. You could add another 4GB stick of RAM the next time you had $37

@CTurbo Not to discredit or doubt your work but you believe this is much better than what I had listed? Also thank you so much for the help!! As a side note, do you prefer intel over amd?

Yes sir I do. It has a stronger cpu and gpu, twice the storage, equal but cheaper RAM, and a slightly better psu.


I do prefer Intel. I would even take an i3 4130 over the FX6300.
