I'm on a tight budget with around $500 to work with.
I've been reading on Newegg.com for the best parts just not sure on the right ones.

This is what i have so far, not in a hurry to buy anything yet just trying to make my mind up first. I usually have my friend build my PC so this is my first time buying all the parts on my own. I know how to put everything together and O.C. just can't decide.

Suggest Kindly.
Thanks,

Everything seems okay except the CPU and PSU. You're going to really want to get a 83xx instead of an 81xx. I don't think that the motherboard you chose will support 83xx without a BIOS update. Do you, a friend, or a tech shop have any older AMD CPUs that you could use to update the BIOS? And the PSU is way too much wattage. What GPU/GPUs do you plan on getting later on? You could run SLI TITANS with 750W and I really don't think you're going to end up dropping another 2k on a budget build :lol:. Get a 550W. I suggest getting a modular one. They're MUCH easier to deal with.

EDIT: I forgot to ask what you're going to be using your PC for. If you're going to be gaming, you may want to consider saving up a little more to go Intel. They're releasing/announcing their 4th gen CPUs in early June.
