New PC Build

[gustafangus]

Hello, everyone!

I'm just asking for some general advice for a new PC for a friend. It's for about 500-550€ (below 550€). I've done allot of builds, I just usually ask before I start doing any AMD build, just because I'm not sure the Motherboards will supoort the FX Chips. Anyway, here it is:

Case: http://www.computeruniverse.net/products/90542076/fractal-design-core-1000-usb3-0.asp
Motherboard: http://www.computeruniverse.net/products/90498484/gigabyte-ga-78lmt-usb3.asp
CPU: http://www.computeruniverse.net/products/90492965/amd-fx-6300.asp
PSU: http://www.computeruniverse.net/products/90425683/xfx-core-edition-pro-550-watt.asp
RAM: http://www.computeruniverse.net/products/90422634/g-skill-ripjaws-x-8gb-ddr3-kit.asp
Storage: http://www.computeruniverse.net/products/90442569/seagate-barracuda-st1000dm003.asp (it's a gaming PC, no need for an SSD right now.)
GPU: http://www.computeruniverse.net/products/90546638/sapphire-radeon-r9-280-dual-x-oc.asp

Thanks in advance, If you need any more Info, just say so

Cool! thanks man!

Just 1 thing: So, the motherboard and CPU are compatible? also, the PSU has the connectors for the graphics cards right? I already checked online, I just really wanna be sure.

You need 2 - 8 pins for the card.

Get the 650w.

How about this? i think it needs 1x 6 pin and 1x 6+2 pin, and it's an overall better card.

Would the 550W be enough for that? I know the wattage is good, just the connectors are always tricky.

Yes that would be a great fit.

Good choice to run with the 550 watt.

Since the PSUs are the same (just 100W+, the other one), I'd rather get a better card than a bigger, but same PSU. Thanks for the help mate!
