So I am thinking of building a new PC but I am a bit unsure if the following would work fine together;

CPU: AMD Athalon x4 860k
Motherboard: Gigabyte F2A68HM-HD2
Ram: HyperX Fury Series 8Gb (2 x 4Gb) DDR3 1866Mhz CL10 Memory
Graphics Card: MSI AMD R7 360 Graphics Card (2 Gb, PCI-E, GGDR5, 128Bit)
PSU: Silence 500Watt PSU; I worked out how much I needed (450Watts) so I went for 500Watts
HardDrive: Western Digital WD10EZEX Blue 1Tb 7200Rpm 64Mb Cache SATA 6.0
Case: Betfenix Nova (With the glass side panel )
OS: Really, I am not too sure but I think I will go for Windows 10 as it runs a lot more games than Linux or Mac OS X

-Thanks, Theo
 
There is no freaken way that setup will draw 450W. Barely 300-350W, I must say. If you want a quality but cheap PSU, go with VP-450 - it has a single 6-pin connector which the R7 360 needs.

Other than that, good build. You could go with G4400+H110+DDR4 or G3258+H81 and overclock it but that depends on which games you want to play as it will be more of a powerful dual-core VS weak quad core situation.

I could recommend you a GTX 750 Ti but if the 360 is cheaper, go for it, why not. If you got the money, fork out for the GTX 950: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-02gp42956kr
950 is much better than the R7 360.
