I have some questions:

Are these all compatible?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/K9WVf7

What in the cart should I make
Better? (Upgrade)

How many FPS would I get on minecraft high settings?

Fps on battlefield 4 ultra?

Does the motherboard contain the USB to plugin like a phone charger or something?

How do i make it a wireless pc not just wired?

How do i build it?

Anything else i should add like bluetooth or anything? (I want it to be like a prebuild pc with like wifi, usb, and stuff)


Will it work like any other pc?


What will i need to build it (screwdrivers) or anything??



SORRY FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS FIRSt TIME BUILDING!! 😀 ALSO ANY VIDEOS THAT ARE KINDA LIKE THIS??? HOW LONG SHOULD IT TAKE ME?

Everything is compatible but you need to change a few things -

That motherboard is not a good choice for that CPU, Go for a Gigabyte 970A-UD3P.

Power supply is corsair entry level and not sufficient enough power for your rig, go for an Antec HCG 620M

everything else is good.

BF4 ultra - 60++ with ease @ 1920x1080 (60FPS+ listed as 60Hz monitors won't take advantage of higher, but that card will achieve higher)

Minecraft High -in the hundreds with ease.

That motherboard has back USB's, so does the Gigabyte I suggested.

Wireless will be expensive, you need a wireless keyboard (not expensive)/mouse (not expensive)/Bluetooth sound adapter (reasonable price) /Wireless HDMI receiver+sender (expensive). That is not worth it at all.

When it comes to the time of building, you can PM me and link up photo's step by step, I can tell you what goes where. Building it this way could take up to 2.5 hours.

It will work like any other PC, as it is a PC.

Screwdriver is all you need.

I like rockie's build better. has a better case. for yours, i like arctic silver 5 paste, drop one fan, get a different case and psu. Your case might not come with the screws you need or they will be low quality. Rockie's psu is fine, but shoot for xfx, antec, or seasonic.

A Core i3-4130 would be better for gaming, little cheaper than the FX-8320 too.

A ECS H87H3-M3 or a ASRock B85M motherboard would be fine for your build and cost the same as the AMD motherboard.

This gives you an 1150 socket which allows for an upgrade to an i5 or i7 down the road. The AMD socket is a dead end.

RAM is a little expensive. I would keep looking. 8GB should be about $70

Skip the case fans. $30 is a lot of budget to waste. If you find down the road that you need more cooling you can add them later. Spend the money you save on a better case or PSU. The corsair isn't bad, but larger wouldn't hurt if you have the budget for it.

Sometimes postponing the purchase of additional part is better

The intel build is more expensive but more powerful, you could probably make the intel build cheaper by getting a cheaper motherboard, but if your budget permits, think about going the intel route. The AMD is good if your budget only let's you go up to the $900 mark, and the multi-cores will be handy as well for BF4.

Looking past all the builds: AMD has good upfront performance, but is pretty much a dead end. With intel, you can upgrade even past what you need or will be using it for. I think if you are getting 970, go intel.
