So have settled upon this build below:
**CPU** | [AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor](http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/amd-cpu-fd6300wmhkbox) | $129.00 @ PCCaseGear
**Motherboard** | [Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard](http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga990fxaud3) | $189.00 @ PLE Computers
**Memory** | [Kingston Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory](http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-memory-khx1600c9d3b1k28gx) | $99.00 @ PCCaseGear
**Storage** | [Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive](http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st1000dm003) | $75.00 @ PCCaseGear
**Video Card** | [Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card](http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr787oc2gd) | $249.00 @ PCCaseGear
**Wireless Network Adapter** | [TP-Link TL-WDN4800 802.11a/b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter](http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/tp-link-wireless-network-card-tlwdn4800) | $47.00 @ PCCaseGear
**Case** | [Thermaltake Chaser A31 ATX Mid Tower Case](http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/thermaltake-case-vp300a1w2n) | $99.00 @ PCCaseGear
**Power Supply** | [XFX 650W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply](http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb9) | $104.00 @ PLE Computers
**Optical Drive** | [LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer](http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/lg-optical-drive-gh24ns95) | $25.00 @ PCCaseGear
Total: $1016.00
I wanted to come in at around a grand, and this fits the bill quite nicely. Thoughts on the build? The only query I have is that will the FX6300 bottleneck the HD7870? I'm worried that I won't get max performance out of this rig due to that.
What sort of performance would I be looking at with this rig anyway? (First time builder
).
Thanks
