Hello Community,

I would like to build a gaming pc. My budget is $500 MIN-$600 MAX. I will be doing homework, gaming such as BF, COD, Bio shock Infinite, and MAYBE Planet side 2. I will also be making 3D models with auto desk. I would like an ssd and found one on Newegg for $100 that has 100GB. Also, it's the Samsung Evo 840 drive I think. How much of a watt power supply would I need? I would like modular because it would make my case look better, but if it interferes to keep within my budget, then I'm alright without modular. For graphics, I would like an AMD GPU because it will fit my budget and will perform nearly as well as Nvidia too. For motherboard, I would like AsRocK Asus, or Gigabyte. I already have chosen a Corsair 500R($50) case as it looks nice and will fit my build nicely. I want a 1TB hard drive but don't know what series to get (Seagate or Western Digital please). I already have an optical drive chosen which will cost me $20. For RAM, I would like good sets of RAM (8 GB is enough) and minimum 1600MhZ. For processor, nothing under 3Ghz and Intel please because 3D graphic Design and AMD isn't as good. I will be getting a $20 CoolerMaster cooling unit. I don't know what to pick so I need you guys' help badly. Also, I already have Windows 7 so no need of that! Please list all the parts you would pick(links too) with the desires listed above. Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much! Also, do you think that 500w will be enough for my use? For the GPU, what setting will it run BF on? I mean like Ultra, very high, high, medium.
 
500w will be enough. And are you talking about bf4?

You should expect something like 45 - 50 average fps.
