Gaming PC Help

[jombos]

Hi guys I planned to buy a new PC for tomorow. This is what I came up with http://pcpartpicker.com/p/H8QhJx . As my brother lives in NY and close to a microcenter store I picked some cheap prices. Just wanted to know if everything is compatible and if the motherboard is worth it( got it in a free buundle with fx6300). Thanks .

If you don't plan on going too much higher on gaming then the rig you built is going to be good for your needs however the FX 6300 will bottleneck the 760 slightly and you will miss some of its perfomance
I built another one:

if this one is out of your budget then your older one good too just remember to buy 2X4GB ram instead of 1X8GB ram as in that order you can take the advantage of Dual Channel

changed the rams with faster ones , are you planning to overclock the 6300? if so you might need a decent cooler too ..

Thanks for reply. But I have already set that build as I have limited budget. No I dont plan to oc fx6300. I'll be playing games like CS:GO and I think this can handle GTAV atleast on medium. Just wanted to know if PSU and MOBO are alright

since you are not overclocking that mobo is fine , and the psu , i would recommend you to get a psu from xfx or antec

Thanks. Is 500w PSU still good enough or it needs to be 550?

 

[john TJ]

500 should be fine ,
