Medium Level Gaming PC

[Mattyice47]

Hey Guys, I'am a first time PC Builder and I wanted to get a opinion on two things. Games being played (1. Crysis 3, 2. Minecraft, 3. TF2, 4. Planetside 2, 5. Company of Heroes 2, etc.)

1. How does my part life look

CPU: AMD A6-6400K Richland 3.9GHz Socket FM2 Dual-Core ($79.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A75 Pro4-M Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard ($64.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($71.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Sandisk ReadyCache 32GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($39.99 @ Microcenter)
Case: Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0 MicroATX Mid Tower Case ($29.99 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply: Raidmax 530W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($42.49 @ Amazon)
Monitor: AOC e2051Sn 60Hz 20.0" Monitor ($89.99 @ Microcenter)
Total: $419.43


2. Swap out the SSD or buy a Graphics Card

Any Opinions Welcome

The Sandisk Readycache SSD is not a stand-alone SSD. It needs a HDD to cache. And a 32GB SSD won't hold much on its own. Maybe the OS is all.
A 1600x900 monitor may be doable with the on-die GPU depending on the games you play and the settings you use. But you will be wanting more before long.
And the Raidmax PSU is not a very good PSU. http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

Yea I wasn't gonna use the Raidmax but it has Crossfire Support and SLI and everything else I need for $40.00 or else I wouldn't choose it.

There's nothing special about CF and SLI 'support' other than the number of PCIe power cables. And any good PSU will have them. Suit yourself on the Raidmax. But when cheap PSUs fail they have a tendency to take other stuff out with them.

Could you suggest one for the same price or better?

Hard to find a good quality 500W PSU for that price. But I have had good results building budget gamers with Rosewills.
