Please share your thoughts on my build

MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC
AMD FX-6300
Cooler Master G450M
Aerocool V3X Advance
ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Seagate Desktop SSHD, 2 TB
G.Skill 8 GB DDR3-1600 Kit

Will the power supply be sufficient?

Any thoughts on a more cost-efficient part?

Thank you in advance.

Consider a 120GB SSD for the OS and a 600w PSU should be fine.

Thank you for replying.

I'd like to add a SSD but i'm on a tight budget so that's not really feasonable. That's why i'm going with the SSHD, hoping to get (at least a bit) better load times than a standard HDD.

I'm thinking of using http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013 as my PSU. What do you think?

Additionally i'm going with the MSI R9 270X GAMING 2G in stead of the GTX 760 to shave a bit of the total price.

Any more thoughts?

Personally, I would get rid of the SSHD and get a normal HDD instead. You can add a caching SSD later for under 50$. Power supply will be just fine and give you a little more room for future upgrades. You als want to consider keeping that 760 as it will perform better than the 270x.

Thank you Xiembeest, taking something like the WD Caviar Blue over the SSHD could save me 20/25 Euro's.

I'm kind of torn between the two GPU's. Where I live (the Netherlands), the difference is about 40 Euro's but you do get AC4 with the 760 wich is 50 Euro's on Steam..

I think I might just take your advice and ditch the SSHD for a normal HDD and keep the 760.

Sounds good to me, I have a 760 and it runs everything smoothly

Rest of the system look fine and is good to go 😀
