    My PC build HELP!
    « on: December 07, 2013, 09:22:19 AM »
    Hey, I am building my first ever gaming pc, I picked all of my components but haven't bought it yet, I think they are compatible but am not 100% sure. And because its going to cost me I want to make sure I don't screw it up. My two main questions are.... Will it work? Can it play high quality games? Here are my specs;

    CPU - AMD FX-6350 3.9GHz Socket AM3+ Hexa Core

    Motherboard - Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 AMD Socket AM3+

    RAM - Crucial 4GB DDR3 1333MHz Memory Module Desktop' (4 times)

    Graphics Card - Gainward NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 1GB Golden Sample

    Hard Drive - Seagate 7200.14 2TB SATA III 3.5

    Case - CoolerMaster HAF X Gaming Black Midi Tower

    OS - Windows 7 Home office 64 bit

    PSU - Powercool High Efficiency 550W

    Optical Drive - LiteOn DH-4O3S-04-B 4x Internal SATA Blu-ray ROM Drive

    Thanks for your help, it means alot ;)

    That looks okay but what is your budget?

    The one thing that really needs changed is that PSU - A PSU is a very important component and should not be "cheaped out on" - Something like an XFX Core Edition or Pro Series would be fine, or something from the Corsair HX or TX range.

    As much as I like AMD, I would suggest going with an i7-3770, or the likes for a gaming computer. If your on a tight budget, anything over an i5 should do well. Also, stick with Windows 7 Pro, as Home Premium doesn't support Compatibility mode.

    Radeon HD 7850 $150
