Hello Everyone, This is my first time building a PC and I am a newbie. My PC will be used for gaming BF3/BF4, general web browsing/youtube and watching movies.I will not be overclocking at all.
The components I have chosen are
CPU- AMD FX-6300
Motherboard-ASUS M5a97 R2.0- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3858039&CatId=7248
RAM- Patriot Viper 3 8GB 1600mhz 1.5V- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3473446&CatId=4534
SSD- Samsung 840 series 120GB- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5247113&CatId=5300
PSU- Corsair CX series 500W- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7564402&CatId=1079
Case- Zalman Z11- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2231049&CatId=3427
Graphics Card- GTX 660 2GB
OS- Windows 7 64Bit
I might change up the ram and PSU if I find better deals and those prices aren't final since I will be shopping around.
I heard that the FX-6300 might have problems with the motherboard but I found out that has been cleared up now and it will work out of the box.
Is this a good build? I need something fast which allows me to play BF3 and general web browsing without being slow.
