Hi, just wondering if all of my components work together and fit in the case I plan on playing/recording FPS games and RPG games such as Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and battle field 3 on a 720p HDTV display Medium - High settings. any help would be great. p.s I don't plan on (if I need to change parts) going over $650, less the better (I also want to keep it AMD based.

CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor
GPU: Asus Radeon HD 7770 1GB Video Card
MoBo: ASRock 960GM/U3S3 FX Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard
RAM: A-Data 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 620W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply

This would be a much more powerful build

I would up the CPU to the FX-8350 if you could that would be about the best you could get.

I'm not very impressed with the fx 8350 so I would want to hold out maybe a year or two and see what AMD has coming out but is the build good if I change the GPU to a 7850? thanks.

Here is the same build with a 7850

The 7850 is good and affordable. You can probably overclock it with Afterburner software. It will be a good match with the FX6300.

Not impressed by the 8350, but like the 6300 instead? I dont get it. AMD is leaving the fx series, the 9370 and 9590 (which are just overclocked 8350s) are the last of the fx series. The last of the piledriver chips.

This would be fine, though you'd want to upgrade your GPU sooner than later...

I figured if I wen't with the 8350 I would end up bottle necking and have to get a more expensive GPU (I do plan on doing in the future) I wanted to keep it balanced without going over my budget of $650

PossumJones · Sep 22, 2013

I kind of understand, but if your planning on upgrade the gpu eventually, then eventually you are going to want more than the 6300 can give you, I know the $80 price difference is substantial but, I see you bumped up to the 8320. I think that is a good choice and will leave you a little room to grow. AMDs new GPUs just around the corner, Id wait till they release or are at least announced and you might find an even better deal on that 7770. Huzzah!
