I'm planning to make a budget AMD gaming pc.

Here's my amazon wishlist of the components: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/IOVE5X6Q4M85/ref=topnav_lists_1

CPU: AMD FX6300
GPU: Visiontek Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB)
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-970A
HDD: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6GB/s 64 MB cache
PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX 600Watt
ODD: Asus internal 24x SATA DRW-24B3ST/BLK​/G (Black)
Cab: Thermaltake V3 Black AMD Gaming Mid tower

How is this rig?
AWESOME, PERFECT, GOOD, OK OK, BULLSHIT ??


Can someone suggest a good store (or site) from where I can get these at about 20% less price than on amazon?

not sure why it would be closed but none of them seems to have a best answered picked

anyways this seems like a solid build
and as others have responded on your other very similar topics youve created
http://pcpartpicker.com/ shows what stores have the lowest prices
newegg has a lot of promotions and discounts and mail in rebate if you are lucky to catch one
if you are not in a hurry you can keep an eye out
unless you want to buy used or refurbished items
if not you just get what you pay for
go cheap you get cheap

If I knew your budget I could help more, but this can be a good base.
