Making a Budget Gaming Build. Any suggestions appreciated!

[Namtubb]

Hi there, I'm looking to make a new PC build and put these parts together. If I could ask for any suggestions regarding this build?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BjxQmG

Budget Range: $600 - $800
Preferred Website for Parts: Newegg and Amazon
Location: United States, California in particular.
Purpose of Build: Gaming for today's releases. My old computer can't run any new release and I'd like to start fresh *old girl's also being given away otherwise I'd just upgrade*

If anyone can produce the same or better results using less cash I'm all ears.

Thank you.

I wouldn't go with an AMD FX build, the processors are about 3 years old and haven't been updated. If you want something new that will play today's releases then have a look at this:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vtDN8d
At the very least you want to go with Intel if you are building a pc now, AMD cpus are weaker and are much older.

You don't need as expensive of a MoBo as listed. ASUS Z97-A is a great MoBo for about 140. You can save money there to use on something that people always overlook - case fans. You need to move air in and out of your case, especially since you are using a heatsink on your CPU.

Bumped down the cost to 600 flat, put in a slightly better gaming CPU and a more powerful GPU.

What do you think?
