Is my build ok? (new)

[fintallrik]

So I'm building my first PC and I wanted to know what your opinion is on it and if you can find me anything cheaper but still as good and if it all just fits together xD , thanks. The price is about 1215$. I want to use it mostly for gaming.
Here are my parts so far:

Processor: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 16MB - Socket AM3+

Paste: Arctic Silver 5 (3,5 gram)

Fan: BitFenix Spectre 140mm Black

Fan: Cooler Master CPU cooler Hyper 212 Evo

Case: Cooler Master Elite K350

Power Supply: Corsair PowerSupply (PSU) CX 750M 750W

Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro Blue 8GB DDR3 PC3-12800

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3

HDD: WD Blue 1TB SATA III

Looks pretty good, but you put memory in the graphics card section, so what graphics card are considering, also if your budget can stretch you may want to include an ssd.

 

[fintallrik]

Yeah, I was thinking the EVGA GTX 670 or the 760.

Both are great cards but I'd really suggest a better case. Maybe look at the Corsair Carbide 300R or Zalman Z11 instead. Or the Phantom 410 or the Define R3 or R4 from Fractal.

Otherwise looks alright.

 

[fintallrik]

Those cases are pretty expensive, I'm looking for something cheaper.

You want to get a good case for high end hardware.
You need the space/airflow for those components, I'd say.
You could also spend a little less on the PSU. A 650W PSU is plenty, unless you plan on getting a second GPU in the future.
Spend the savings on the case.

If you got a budget of over $1000 and don't get a decent case, well...

 

[fintallrik]

woah ok now my price range is only about 800$-1000$ so if you could suggest some parts that'd be great, thanks xd

Get a Gigabyte GTX 760. Same performance as a stock 670 but way cheaper.

Off topic: How can I edit my signature? I'd put my new build on it.

Off topic: How can I edit my signature? I'd put my new build on it.

In the top right, there's a tab called: Quick Links
There you can find 'Edit Signature'.

• Corsair Carbide 200R
• Corsair CX600M
• ASUS M5A97 R2.0
• Seagate Barracuda 1TB
• AMD FX-6300
• Kingston HyperX 8GB (2x4GB)
• NVIDIA GTX 760 2GB (I prefer Gigabyte ones)

Should be around your budget ($840 without Windows or CPU cooler). I would spend some money on a new CPU cooler. Probably a Coolermaster Seidon 120M, Corsair H60 or Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo.

Also, don't open multiple threads of the same subject. (Your other thread)
