New Budget Gaming PC!

[Christosck]

Hello everyone, recently my laptop died and i have to build a new gaming pc. Because of the sudden death my budget is very low (500$). However i think i can build a descent gaming pc.

I would like some expert opinion about my build here ---> http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Ppw2NG
Feel free to comment-correct anything you see wrong, but explain why please.

Note: I already have my old SSD and HDD so i don't need to buy new ones. ALSO i am planning putting a second graphics card in crossfire after a year maybe so have that in mind too.
* I didn't add a case because i haven't decided yet 😛

Thank you all and have a nice day!

Downgraded the motherboard to something a bit more practice for a budget gaming build*
Added a nice, high quality, cheap CPU cooler*
Downgraded the PSU as 600w isn't so necessary for this build*
Upgraded the GPU for higher quality gaming*

Also, I noticed you didn't add a case. I didn't add one either because I wasn't sure if you had one or not.

In case i want to buy a second Graphics card later this year and have a nice crossfire, should i keep the cx600 PSU?

You'll need atleast a 750 for that I believe.

NO! NO CX SERIES! They are junk, average at best.

Never had problems with my cx750. Why are they junk?

That board & PSU will both allow you to do sli on the 960 should you want to in the future.
