New computer build help please

[camplo87]

Hello, new to forums.

My desktop recently overheated. Im currently typing on an ipad. Im trying to build a new desktop for the first time. I went to a local store and bought an "Asus A88x pro motherboard" and "AMD A8 6600k quad core CPU." I ordered a "Corsair 750 watt PSU" which should be coming in the mail today. Im going back to my store to buy a case and cooling fan. Ill list them below. Im using this computer to play Team fortress 2, C/S 1.6, DOD 1.3, and Diablo 3.

2. Cooling fan - http://www.microcenter.com/product/373900/Hyper_212_EVO_Universal_CPU_Cooler

3. Motherboard - http://www.microcenter.com/product/423953/A88X-PRO_Socket_FM2_ATX_AMD_Motherboard

4.CPU - http://www.microcenter.com/product/414784/A8_6600K_Black_Edition_39GHz_Quad-Core_Socket_FM2_Boxed_Processor

5. PSU - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RJZQSW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

6. RAM - http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-PC3-10666-240-Pin-Memory-CMX8GX3M2A1333C9/dp/B003N8GVUY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1395417477&sr=1-1&keywords=corsair+xms3+8gb

7. GPU - any suggestions ? My budget is 130$. Or will the GPU that comes with my CPU be enough?

if you're going with a gpu you dont need an apu cpu.

What's the budget for the system? Those are pretty decent parts but I'll see if there's anything better.

Also if you're getting a dedicated graphics card you don't need an APU, Athlon 750K will be good for you.

 

[ModernWarfare]

but if you already purchased it doesnt matter if you're looking to play low-end games an apu should be fine. but if you're going to play some med-high end games a gpu is needed. for 130$ this is average but really performs great.

I'm mainly going to be playing team fortress 2. Would i need a better Gpu for that game?

 

[AshyCFC]

Not for tf2, for your other games yes.

750 or 260x would be good starting cards.

 

[camplo87]

Ok thanks for the input. I guess im not buying a gpu

If you can afford a 260x 2gb, get one. Your gaming experience will be vastly more enjoyable.

I kind of worded my original post badly. You don't NEED it BUT you would enjoy yourself more with it(higher settings)
