I'm planning on building a desktop computer for playing games on such as Battlefield 4. I have an idea so far based of what I've read on other forums and seeing other peoples PC builds but if anything isn't compatible please point it out. Also if you know any other good PC builds or better parts than the ones I have chose (withing the £600 budget), feel free to also share any information (keeping in mind I do plan on upgrading parts in the future and don't want to have to completely rebuild). Is there anything lacking off this list (wires, screws, or other essential/useful hardware). Sorry if I've made any mistakes, this will be my first time build.
Tower - BitFenix Neos ATX
Storage - 1TB Sea Gate Barracuda
DVD Drive - LiteoN Internal DVD RW
RAM - 2 x 4gb Crucial Ballistix Sport
Processor - AMD FX 8350
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA 970A UD3P
Graphics Card - AMD Radeon R9 380 4GB
Power Supply - 600w Evga 80+ Bronze
Internet Card - TP Link TL-WN851ND 300mbps
 
This would be way WAY better

Solution


This does seem to be alot better, I was trying to work in the R9 390 when I started off but couldn't seem to thanks a lot, does this still have an internet connection, or would I need to purchase an adapter for it (if so any recommendations on that).
 


Thanks for the help, I'll do this build instead, any other parts you recommend that aren't on the list? Already considering an SSD for the operating system and some games
 


I think I will get a solid state later after the build and instead get either a more powerful processor (I was thinking the AMD FX 8350) or a better motherboard (considering the Gigabyte Ga 970a ud3p, which would help with its extra ports for audio and extra USB ports). But this build is appealing more due to researching into the graphics card you chose.
 


You would most likely need to purchase an adapter!

It's not bad, but it's a little worse in every way and more expensive than mine. The psu is a lot worse.

Just add the 390 to my build for £12 more. Why do you want to get the old FX so bad? The i5 is hands down better.

+1; The AMD FX-8350 performs worse than an i5.
