So I have been posting on here a build that i thought was going good but as i talked to some people i relized a few flaws then as i work with it i got frustarted with the price tag so i decided to design an almost completely new build. I got a cheaper case, went from an FX-6300 Cpu to a FX-8350, i added 4 gb of ram and purchased it at a cheaper price per Gb, then i wen from a 550 w PSU to a fully modular gold 650w PSU, and got a Windows 8.1 OEM which was cheaper. My Budget Limit is $850.

Please tell me how i did. Thanks

Get 8GB of RAM and use that money to get a better case and/ or perhaps a CPU cooler. Rest is cool, IMO.

I was thinking that, but wouldn't that bottleneck the performance of the computer as I am using 8 cores plus a somewhat strong GPU? Also I kinda like the case.
 
Why get 1333 mhz ram? Faster ram and only $80 with promo code.

Unfortunately, you don't want a caviar blue drive as your windows drive. Get the caviar black drive.

Also, i'm sure your cheap case isn't gonna have the best cooling, I would choose something different.

Edit again : You can drop to a good 500 watt power supply and save 10 bucks, actually more than that.

Will work just fine.
