Is this a good build for 740$?

CPU: AMD FX-6300
Motherboard: MSI 760GA-P43FX AM3+
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR3 PC3-12800 (2x4)
Storage: Western Digital CAVIAR Blue 1TB SATA 7200RPM 64MB (HDD)
Storage 2: Samsung HD105SI 1TB SATAII 5400RPM 32MB (HDD)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 660 Twin Frozr III
Case: Cooler Master Elite 430
Power Supply: Corsair CX600 80+
Optical Drive: Samsung DVDRW 24X SATA Black SH-224DB

Total price: about 740$

P.S. Keep in mind that I'm not in USA/UK/Canada so prices are very different here.

This is a good build but I highly recommend you to get Intel for CPU and for the video card, you may want to change to AMD as they have the low level API; Mantle.

the 6300 is fine... clearly you have a budget. intel CPUs are more as well as the mobos are more $ for similar performance.

I like it all except the motherboard. get something with a more modern chipset... at least the 970.

like the ASUS m5a97 or m5a99x/fx

If you post what country that you are buying from it will help to suggest a rig, because prices and availability vary greatly from country to country. If you don't know one check the master sticky at the top of this forum.

Hey guys.

I decided to go for a more expensive rig (around $1050). Oh, and I live in Lithuania and the shop I'm going to buy all my parts from is called 1a.lt
(The reason I'm using this website, is because the prices are the cheapest I could find.)

The rig:

CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 3.20 GHz (~223$)
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Pro4 (~112$)
Memory: Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB DDR3 PC12800 (2x4) (~98$)
Storage: Western Digital CAVIAR Blue 1TB 7200RPM 64MB (HDD) (~76$)
Storage 2: Samsung HD105SI 1TB SATAII 5400RPM 32MB (HDD) (This is going to be out of my current pc that I'm using now.)
Video Card: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD7950 3GB GDDR5 11196-19-20G (~344$) (I don't know why is it more expensive than a GTX 760)
Case: Zalman Midi Tower Z9 U3
Power Supply: Corsair CX600W 80+
Optical Drive: Samsung DVDRW 24X SATA Black SH-224DB

Total: around $1050

If you can, please tell me if this is good for the price.
