CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz
Mobo: ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0
RAM: Zeppelin 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD7850 Dual-X 1GB DDR5 256-bit
HDD: Toshiba 500GB SATA-III 7200RPM 32MB
PSU: Segotep Raynor Power 550W
CASE: Segotep SG-Z2


What do you think about it?
Will the components be compatible with each other? Does that Mobo need a BIOS Update for that CPU to work(my biggest concern so far)?

Will that Mobo be able to do Crossfire with 2 cards like those mentioned above?
Is that PSU good enough? Will it handle that configuration?

Is that system futureproof? I mean will it handle games that will come in the next 2-3 years?

Do you have any suggestions? I am open for anything!

You should be fine with that CPU w/o needing a BIOS update. That CPU uses the first BIOS for the board, C0. So any newer BIOS is going to be even better.

That board is not the best for dual cards. The PCIe X16 slots are x16,x4. You really need the 2nd slot to be at least x8 to get the full benefit from the 2nd card. In fact, sometimes the slower slot will slow down the first card as well.

I've never heard of that PSU. It may be a cheapie. Can you post the nameplate specs?

The case is also unknown to me. But pics of it look like it is the same Pacific Rim built case many manufacturers sell.

Likewise for the RAM. Never heard of it. You must not be buying in the US.

I prefer WD or Seagate for a drive. But I'm using a 2TB...

Get a Gigabyte board instead of ASRock.

Get a Western Digital or Seagate instead of Toshiba.

Never heard of Segotep and a quick Google doesn't reveal any praise for their products, so I'd say that their PSUs will be junk. Stick to Corsair, XFX, Seasonic, Antec etc for the PSU.

Case is personal preference.

What's your max budget for this build, and what currency?

Well... I live in Romania and we got all sort of PC components on our shops... My budget will be around 500-550$ or 2000 RON(Romania Currency).
If you say that PSU may be junk, what about the Corsair VS Series VS450 450W will that be a better pick?
