I was searching internet how to make gaming computer and I came up with this build so far:
Build;
Processor: AMD FX-6350 Vishera 3.9GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor FD6350FRHKBOX
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM
Motherboard: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Graphic card: Geforce GTS 450 - is old, but i am thinking getting newer video card. It should run with asus right?
Power supply: XFX 650W XXX Edition Single Rail Power Supply with Semi Modular Cables 240-Pin 650 Energy Star Certified Power Supply (P1650XXXB9)
Hard drive: - any suggestions?
Case: what be best size of case to install everything?
Optical drive: I want cheap something.

Any opinions/suggestions? Is this good build for computer so far?
 
Kinda new at this but here ya go:

Well here's an Optical Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204

For a Hard Drive you could either go with a SSD or HDD or both. SSD for speed and HDD for space.

SSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147247
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840

Im pretty sure that Mobo can fit in this case but check with someone else in case.

Case:
Black: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811124154
White: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811124154

Before i suggest a GPU what games do you plan on playing and what's your budget?

okay, thanks I will take HDD and black case from amazon.

My motherboard, proccesor, video card and power supplies works together?

I found this http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMH...379215881&sr=8-2&keywords=AMD+FX-6350+Vishera

it is Frequency: 3.5/4.1GHZ (Base/Overdrive) its only lower .4 GHZ from mine. Is it really big difference ?

Another questions:

two same motherboards but price is different, I am just curious about "UEFI BIOS". Motherboard from amazon includes this bios too? or what does mean. I am new to this staff

Your Mobo, processor, video card, and PSU should work together, although i would get a new gpu if u can afford it.

I dont believe .4ghz will make a difference

And i believe the one on amazon doesn't come with UEFI BIOS, but i would go with the one that comes with UEFI because it looks really cool and alot more useful compared to the regular text based BIOS.

Im new at this is soo check this with a pro before buying.
 
Okay, I found out this new bios is faster, also I find out that quad core is better than 6-core for gaming. you know any good processors for gaming ?

There is cheaper power supply that will work too? I don't need that all power that i chose?

In general, intel processors are considered better for gaming than AMD processors, so I'd recommend them instead. But if you buy another processor, you also need to buy another MOBO (in case you didn't know)
 
I wouldn't go for a cheap power supply, you power is one of the most important parts, try looking at the corsair range, they seem to be pretty good.

I thought that motherboard can support several kinds of processors. I am new to building up computer.

http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Build...2.3+80+PLUS+BRONZE+Certified+Active+PFC+Power this one looks good and is only 50 wats less than mine.

What's your budget for your build

I want be between $500-600 without monitor, mouse etc. and graphic card. the Graphic card i will upgrade later on.

I will get witcher 3 for sure, so i looking for not extremy good computer, but good enougth to run wither 3 smoothly on better setting. I will stay with this procesor and motherboard, but I will change power supply for corsair. So is it good build worht it of price?
 
Either power supply is fine, XFX or Corsair. Not sure why Donaldmac suggested a different psu. XFX is good quality. And AMD processors will game just as good as Intel, providing its not an entry level cpu. Most games are dependent on video card, not cpu.
 
Johnb35 I wasn't referring to the originally stated power supply, in his post he mentioned getting a cheaper one, I was just trying to say to stick with a good one and not a cheap one, sorry for the confusion.
