Gaming PC Build Advice

[Rperez760]

Hello All,

I built my own gaming PC but not sure if I selected all the right components. The computer seems to run fine but I was hoping to get some advice as to what I could do better. Here are a list of my components:
MSI GeForce GTX 760 OC 2GB
AMD FX-6100 Six-Core Processor
Kingston HyperX 8GB
Antec Kuhler h20 620 CPU Cooling
Gigabyte 920A-D3 MOBO
Corsair 120GB SSD
Coolmaster Extreme Pwr Plus 700W
1TB HHD from old media PC

The power supply is very poor quality. The FX-6100 is a poor buy compared to the FX-6300. The rest looks alright, though a better motherboard wouldn't have hurt (I assume it's the 970A-D3).

Yes you are correct it is the 970A-D3. What mother board, battery would you suggest? Is the FX-6300 a better buy to other processors?

The GA-970A-UD3 would have been nice, but the 970A-D3 is fine if you don't overclock. The FX-6300 is a good buy in general, and would definitely be better than the 6100. But since you apparently already have the build running, I don't think it would be worth the money to buy a new CPU.

Makes sense...Yes I haven't even touched overclocking yet, however my future plans are to upgrade to be able to run SLI which is another reason I was wondering if these parts would work. It seems I should look for a better CPU, motherboard and battery. I will do so more research on it. If you have any further suggestions they are more than welcomed. Thank you.

For SLI support, you'd need an even better motherboard. Like the Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 or Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3.
