Hello,

so, i want to buy a new computer. Here is the current setup:

CPU: AMD FX 6350
MBO: Gigabyte 990FXA - UD3
GPU: MSI GT 640
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8gb low profile 1600mhz (DDR3 of course)
CPU cooler: Coolermaster 212 EVO
PSU: coolermaster GX 550W (is that enough to power the GPU?)
boot drive: Samsung 840 120gb
general storage: WD caviar blue 500 gb
Os: windows 7 pro 64 bit

Also, I'd put all of that in a Fractal design arc midi R2.

I want to know what you think about this. Bear in mind that I would use it for some light gaming and multimedia consumption. My budget is around 1100€
Any recommendations?

Good build :)
Maybe step up the psu to around 500W if your oc'ing

The T4 wont get the highest oc maybe 100mhz or something like that

OMG cause GT 640 bottlenecked the FX-6350!

And of course 550W can easily power the GT 640, but it won't worth it!

Light gaming? An A10-5800K will be enough, no need for a graphic card. (and u could lower the PSU to 350w) And for media consumption u may need a 1TB HDD (it won't be much expensive compared with a 500G).

And could u tell me which country u'r in so we can help u configure your build? It looks like in a EU zone in Europe.

Hm... you got a point.
I'm from Croatia and the first plan I thought of is that i could order the parts from Germany, but unfortunately they don't ship here.
So, do you think i should go with an A10 5800K or a 6800K and what motherboard I should use, how much memory is needed (i know it should be at least 1866 mhz)...

Also do i need that big of a cooler for an APU?

Get that pc i linked you to and since you were going to spend more get and h60 to kepp it cool and quiet. Order it from amazon.com maybe? they may ship there.
The Apu's get hot.
Just change the memory in that build to this http://goo.gl/jdxaY

Just finished making a new list with parts that i can get from a croatian dealer and I'm already over budget. So i can't really go with liquid cooling. I saw a coolermaster hyper t4 - will that be enough if i'm not overclocking?

Yes :) same specs though? wasn't your budget something like 1000?
That build is like 400....
H60 is about $60 on amazon so maybe upgrade later.
What other coolers do they have?
Make sure it fits socket fm2.
Maybe for your birthday or something get and h80i with 2 scyth gentle typhoon 1450 or 1850rpm fans for some nice oc'ing and kepping it cool :)

Well i did change the specs slightly - 1 tb HDD instead of 500 gb, ssd is a bit more expensive
(kingston ssdnow v300 120gb), os is more expensive and so on and so forth. As I said I probably won't be ordering on amazon because the don't ship here. I also tried italian amazon and the don't ship here, but since we're in the EU now I might upgrade it later.
BTW when i said light gaming i thought minecraft and some online FPS's

Fair enough but buy another CPU cooler only if u want to overclock.
