New build

Hi y'all, looking for a little insight into this sorta stuff
This any good?

You have a budget? The psu required for the r9 280 is 550 watts so I would get the cx600 unit. You may have a space issue with the video card in a microatx case. Probably would also go with the new 1151 socket at this point.

i was thinking around 600$

Here is what the new socket would be. Changed a few parts, you can play around with it.

Thats a bit over budget for me as it stands. As far as the cases go are they all multi compatible threw all the parts?

The only thing I'm concerned with is the size of the video card in a micro atx case but everything else will be fine. Do you have an operating system already? You know you can't reuse an already used key unless its a retail key and not an OEM?

what would you recommend for the video card? I'm planning on purchasing windows 10.

hey.. i like that build?? will that work for me if i just play American Truck Simulator? a game that requires a recommended spec of 6 gb of ram, 3.0 Ghz processor, and a 2 gb video card... i mean seems to me plenty. i dont need nothing crazier.

is there a good build for less then 600$ that would be good for gaming?
