What's your budget? How much does that build cost? Do you plan to overclock (assuming we can fit it in)?
@avilash98:
No...First off, the RAM and psu price isn't even listed. So its $880 without those and I doubt OP has that budget judging from the specs (unless hes getting really ripped off). The RAM is overkill, yet it isn't enough. You would want 2x4gb of ram and you don't need 2133mhz speed. 1600mhz is enough.

Wow....way to bump up the budget from $650 to $800-1000....Except the OP still has a $650 budget.
You guys are going way too much off topic.
The FX doesn't suffer from "bad" frame lost. Sure, it won't get as much fps as the i5, but for the price you can't really compare. It's still a good processor for the budget. If you try to fit an i5 at the 650 price point, you'll be left with extremely weak or no discrete gpu at all.
Planar has a nice set-up, but why is everyone recommending that thermaltake case? I would rather spend an extra $10 on the case and grab the Corsair 300R.

Is this an okay build? It goes over the budget by a little, if you don't count the discount.

Also, what would be the average frame rate for this build? (Resolution is stated at the top of the page.)

@Infinitus: Please stop messing around. You even admitted before that the build you posted was bad, yet you still continue to do it for fun...It's not helpful to the OP and it's getting really annoying.
@OP: The 7850 should do very good in those resolution. I would advise to change the psu, as the CM Extreme aren't very high quality. Consider the XFX 550w: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb...
Also, the RAM that Planar posted earlier is cheaper and would provide the same performance.

Only messed around on the earlier post. read through 200+ posts in the forums for low budget gaming pc's and this chipset appears everytime. and it get's better scores than your amd 7850. http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/966/AMD_Athlon_X2_7850...

Don't go cheap on the PSU. Also did you want to overclock in the future? I'd go with a cheaper chard like the 660 or the 760. Save money now and it'll last you for a good year or two plus with playing games on "mediumish". I would prefer an i5 k series if you planed on overclocking in the future
With RAM 1600 is fast enough anymore and its not really necessary.
If I were you I'd save up a little bit more for the better CPU. It'll be worth it in the end.

Here is an edit again. Also do the combo deals last as long as the parts are in stock? Or is there a date? If there's any changes to the build go ahead and tell me

@Infinitus: Honestly, can you read? When I said 7850, I meant the Radoen HD 7850 GRAPHICS CARD. Not Athlon x2 7850.....
@OP: If you're not going to overclock, you don't need the "k" processor.

-i5-3470 will give the same performance but cheaper than the 3570k.
-Added another stick for 8gb total.
-The WD Blue is the same price as the Seagate but an extra $5 off on combo deal.
-Much better cooling on the gpu. XFX is known for their bad cooling on the gpu.
-Better case. The 300r is only $50 after rebates, no case can compare with it in that price range.
-Better quality psu.
@OP: If you're not going to overclock, you don't need the "k" processor.
