Hello there guys :) .
I Just finished my pc, which is my first new one :).
Well, it has the following specs :
AMD FX-6300
ASUS M5A78L LE
CORSAIR 4GB DDR3
MSI R7770 PMD 1GB GDDR5

Although i know its nothing special (in fact its kinda ''crappy''), I just want to know what you think about this pc, and mainly : For how long do you think this PC can handle , if not all, some of the new games @1280x1024 at Lowest/Low/Medium Settings?
I am going to buy another 4 gb in a month or two ofc.

this is more then enough for everyday use and will play almost all new games on low settings. Ram upgrade is a great idea. I would say it would be useful as a pc for a long time, but as for a gaming rig, it might become too weak in the next couple years depending upon how new games evolve.

Very good CPU for gaming, not the best motherboard, can only support two cooling fans. The CPU you have chosen I recommend you overclock. I have the same and I overclocked to 4.1GHz, I can play Borderlands 2, Civ 5 and many other CPU intensive games easily. The piledriver CPU's are better than the bulldozer in my opinion. The GPU you have chosen isnt the best but for the resolutions you say you will play in, it should be fine.

I Recommend for a good gaming system without changing to much would be:

8GB of RAM
Change your GPU to be futureproof.

What PSU will you use?

I think this is fine for what you are wanting to play at. I would think it can handle the newest games at a lower setting. You can probably stick with the AMD build into the future as well with AMD's new CPU's coming out somewhere in the future (steamroller). But for now the Fx-6300 will be great. I think you would need to update your GPU to a 7870 or 7950 which can handle most games on full settings. The motherboard isn't the best and get some more RAM in aswell. Also what is your PSU?

8-16GB RAM
Higher end GPU (if you want to future proof, okay for now at lower settings)
A motherboard with good overcloking would allow the Fx-6300 to work fantastic and handle any CPU intensive games.

Really thank you for the replies and the advices.
I use a BAD 500 w psu.
I have already started gathering money, got ~90Euro, and im planning to buy something like this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207015

and a better GPU by the time mine will stop fullfiling my Gaming Requirements

But for now, i think i will go with this :(
And as i can see, you think its kinda bad. Yeh, i got the same filling :/
I just hope it will be able to play the newest games at lowest for the next year and then i will buy a better one

**I couldnt buy a better one because of my psu, and also could not afford buying bot an expensive vga and an expensive PSU at the same time :(((.

The CPU really is good, motherboard is hot (I had it in my first build) Idle it was almost 40 Degrees, Due to bad heatsink design. That is a good PSU brand however it is overkill for your system, get a 600W or 650W. You wont need 16GB of RAM for gaming (8GB is plenty).

yea the psu you mentioned is good, considering you want to upgrade the gpu later. If you do look at other brands, make sure they are 80+ certified and are good brand names (corsair, ocz, antec, etc)
