Hi there, I just have a few questions about my build:

1. With everything here if I were to plug it into a monitor along with a mouse and keyboard would it work or am I missing something?

2. Whould this be able to play current and next gen games with medium settings with no issues?

3. How can I improve this build and do you have any helpful tips ( I'm a noob at building PC's haha) (maybe a tutorial video on how to put togeather)

4. Is this good for a 600 dollar budget (tax included)

For 600$ you can build a beast 1080p gaming PC that can run most games at high settings. This is like 50 dollars over the budget but it is worth it for the power you are getting.

How do you know this build will build correctly and play 1080p at high settings? Have you built it or do you just know this stuff?

@Sangeet: Tax pretty much brings it to near the $700 mark. Tax in california is a real pain.

@Chargee: We know that the parts Sangeet will work together because we know what part works with what. Also, the 7870 gpu will perform a lot better than the A10-6800k integrated gpu.

To try to keep things in your budget including tax, here's what I got:

-The 7850 isn't stronger than the 7870, but it will still be better than the A10-6800K by a lot. It should be able to play games in med-high settings.

That FX 6300 paired with an HD 7870 will handle most of your gaming "needs." I have the FX 6300 paired with an HD 6950 (last generation similar in power to the 7870). I play without a stutter. You'll love it! Best (?) for the money.

PcPartPicker automatically includes taxes and rebates and other discounts. So i do not think that tax would be a problem. But yeah, i do not live in US so i can never confirm.

But as far as the build goes both the CPU and graphics card are way better than the AMD A10 like way more powerful and it can easily play any games at 1080p, i just know it because 7870 is an awesome card and 6300 does not bottleneck it.
