Is this a decent AMD build for a $850 budget?

[Malek Agha]

After 7 months of editing and revising I have come out with this AMD build. I just want to know if it's good or not. If there are any adjustments you would like to make just pls list them below. What I'm using this PC for is a lot of photoshop, web-surfing, some video rendering, and gaming. Because of all the editing I am doing, I decided to go for the AMD FX-8320 so I can take advantage of it's 8 cores. I'm not looking too do TOO much heavy gaming with this build. I'd be happy if this build could run a game like Battlefield 4 at medium settings with 60 Frames Per Second.

Without further ado, here is the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DXqbHx

If you're going to be rendering video's you'll need at least 16GB RAM

I changed the motherboard to put you closer to your budget.
If you really can't go over $950:

Though I would recommend spending the extra $13 and going with the first build.

I just realized that in the link your build is $950, not sure if you made a mistake on PC partpicker or on the forums, but I made my builds to fit a $950 budget.

I'm not sure if you have rebates on or not, but with rebates it's $824.07

 

[MasterDell]

Don't rely on rebates. Most of them are not cash back and are pre paid credit cards instead.

 

[JancoV]

No, I have rebates of, because as MasterDell said, it's not really cash back, but more like a gift card that can only be used on that specific shop.

 

[Malek Agha]

Can someone just answer my question and stop talking about rebates?

I adjusted this build: * better Mobo *(you need this for FX 8350) , decent and cheaper case, cheaper PSU but still good quality

If you keep rebated on, those first two builds I posted can be used.
If you turn rebates of:

Your build is decent for this task wit exception of overpriced case and mobo and if you not OC simply drop also 212 EVO.
I link earlier build that can withstand OC around 4.4-4,5 Ghz for long term use.

If you do not want 16GB ram

Actually, if he plans on rendering video's in HD, he will need 16GB of RAM, otherwise he's going to struggle with preview and render times. If he's not planning on rendering any HD video's 8GM would be sufficient.

 

[Malek Agha]

Can someone tell me how this build is going to work in those tasks I listed and what's going to be the preformance?
