Gaming PC Build

[acelenny]

This is just a build I put together in five minutes on PC specialist, just wondering how good it would be for gaming and preferably low noise levels. Also, value for money?

Those are a bit small to read.

Get an FX 8320/8350, or get an i5 with that budget.

If you're overclocking, you're going to want the K version (4670K) of the chip. If not, ditch the aftermarket cooler, it's not necessary.

 

[spirit]

Yup get the 4670K.

Ditch the mATX motherboard. You've got a mid tower case there, use an ATX board like the Z87X-UD4H or the Z87X-OC. Much better in terms of future expandability and upgrading.

Looks like an awesome build, the graphics card will be great for gaming, and I agree with above posts, go with i5 4670k, better motherboard, and you dont need the aftermarket cooler unless you plan to overclock.
