New Gaming PC?

[INeedPcHelp]

Budget 500$ (Nothing More)
I have a PC but it really sucks. I Need a PC that can handle games like Just Cause 3 with at least 30 FPS
I Already bought a power supply and windows 10.
Parts of old PC I was going to build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fQrYkL
I have a 50$ discount.
I'm In the Usa if that helps

This is a build that goes slightly over (540$), but has a really nice price to performance for the limited budget, if you go for anything less you will REALLY struggle to get any kind of framerates and lifespan out of it

What are you talking about, you aren't buying the parts from part picker, they source the retailers...

You should only use DDR3L with the Skylake CPU's to prevent possible long term damage to the memory controller.

Bet you I can find cheaper prices.

Guys, it looks like he needs to buy an OS too. He included it in is build but you did not.

 

[BadActor]

He's already bought it.

 

[CTurbo]

I see. I recommend sending that 430w EVGA psu back because you are seriously limited with it, and it's not the best quality.

BadActor, would you really trust that 400w XFX with a R9 380? I wouldn't.

 

[BadActor]

I've been researching it. It's based on a Seasonic and made by one of their subsdiaries. I found a review on it which said that it held voltage OK and had all the protection circuits and that they worked. The design is similar to the S12II bronze, but with lesser quality caps and different heatsinks. I'm going to watch for more reviews, but based on that, I would feel more comfortable recommending it over a CX series. SR-71 felt like it would be a Tier 3, which is pretty much my gut feeling on it and would be OK for a budget build.

 

[CTurbo]

I have no doubt it would be better than a CX or EVGA 500B. I would feel better if it was the XT 500w, but at 400w and unknown long term reliabilty, I just can't recommend it. Maybe for a GTX950.

I wouldn't recommend any tier 3 unit to be used with a video card as powerful as the 380.
