What do you think of my $800 build?

JosiahC · Jun 2, 2013

I will be overclocking both the GPU and CPU. I would like to know what you guys think I could improve on in my build. $800, with an operating system, is my max budget.

I will be gaming at 1920 x 1080 if that helps.

Looks alright to me on that budget. I have no suggestions.

Will I have enough room to overclock my CPU with 600w? I'm not sure how much extra power a fx-6300 draws when overclocked to something like 4.2 Ghz.

That build looks very solid at a quick glance. 600 Watts is more than enough to OC both the CPU and GPU. I have an i5 and 7950 OC'd lots on a 650 Watt and its more than plenty.

You should have plenty of headroom for overclocking. If the Hyper 212 EVO's price isn't much different, get that instead of the Hyper 212+ - the EVO's an updated version and cools slightly better.

I would be wary of getting Windows 8 on a desktop. IMHO, the interface is good for mobile devices with touch screens, but not so much for systems that rely on old fashioned mice.

I will be using startisback for windows 8 so the interface won't be a problem. Windows 8 is slightly faster than windows 7 for the same price.
