is this a good build?

[Damond Smith]

I ordered this the other day from cyberpower and was wondering if my cpu and video card were well enough for graphic design and some gaming not many graphic intensive games, I probably should've asked this before I ordered
But will my cpu and gpu handle photoshop, illustrator, after effects, cinema 4d, etc etc while recording? And could I play games like battelfield? I mostly play cod4 and tf2
My current laptop can handle photoshop and other adobe programs pretty well and I have an apu with 1.90 ghz and 4 gigs of ram that cant handle tf2 or cod4 well, so should this build be fine?
I ordered it from cyberpower instead of building it because it's my first desktop and I felt safer buying it prebuilt

Wow. Quite a lot of ways to get more performance for less...

It's definitely not ideal
An Intel CPU would be better for those applications and a 500 watt PSU would suffice.
The HD 7770 which is priced similarly, has better performance. And you won't need a liquid cooling system if you're not overclocking

the power supply was a free upgrade, and i used a no rush code so I got 5% off and intel cpu was over my price budget I only had a thousand and with the 5% off it brought it down to 985$ which I thought was good considering I got an asus monitor

Thats a fairly big rip off you would have got better performance building it yourself and could have afforded a intel build

however this build isnt useless its just 2 things seem unnecessary 1600mhz would have been enough instead of more expensive 1866mhz

video card is very weak would have went for a 7790 amd as 650 isnt a gaming card youll find alot of games will struggle with it your psu has way more then enough power id contact cyber power and ask them to change the card to 7790 if you can

If I need to upgrade my card I will in the future but for right now it should be fine, and the psu was a free upgrade from a 600watt psu the lowest I could go was 300watts and it was only a 6 dollar difference so 6 extra bucks wasn't a lot and I needed better ram for graphic design because it's a pain to render 3d models in cinema 4d with 4 gigs. but I doubt the card is very weak but thanks anyway

FX 6300 GTX 650 in a $1000 build? Wow. You can get this performance for almost half that sticker price.

well considering it's coming from cyberpower and I got a nice monitor with it I think it's not bad, I'd rather just buy and learn more than try and build it myself than do something wrong and have to go through all the headaches. But I'll be getting a job soon so I can upgrade to a better gpu

7790 way better
7850 better then the 7790
7870 quite a bit better then the 7850

depending how much cash you have when you go to upgrade it again
