This builds sole purpose is to do daily browsing on the internet and play these games. I do some times also play other teamwork games like natural selection 2 or left 4 dead 2. Just having fun with my buds you know.

CPU: AMD FX 8320 3,5Ghz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB 1600Mhz
GPU: Asus Radeon 7790-DC2OC-1GD5 1GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
SSD: Samsung EVO 120GB
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M ll 520W(On sale)
DVD: Samsung SH-224DB
MOBO: Asus M5A97 R2.0
CASE: Antec One

I think the GPU power will be enough for these games and I will look for upgrades in the future and since the 7790 is already at a low price I bet it will be even lower in the future when so I can run crossfire. If I want to maybe get another SSD, HDD or a CPU cooler or maybe even add more ram. Was originally going for the 7850 but the price difference wasn't worth it and it runs 45w more so the PSU wouldn't handle it anyways. Will be able to play Crysis 3 on high(not ultra) with this card?

Without a budget/location it's a bit hard to tell whether or not it's a good build, as how much you pay for stuff dramatically effects if its any good.

As a general observation, it is a little light on the graphics side for a gaming machine, but you acknowledge that. As has already been mentioned, High detail on Crysis3 is probably a bit optimistic, but it depends on your resolution.

Cooler Master traditionally make terrible PSUs, but it seems like they've turned a corner a bit and most of their newer models are passable. I probably still wouldn't buy one, but if you got a good deal on it then fair enough. One thing to note is that while a 520W PSU is probably sufficient for HD7790 crossfire, it doesn't give you much headroom, especially if you plan on overclocking your CPU down the line (The FX83** can get very power hungry on overclocking) so you might be better to get a bigger wattage to give yourself some expansion room.

- My budget is $800 max! We use SEK as currency in Sweden so you can just google 10 SEK to USD or vice versa.

- I live in Sweden and most the parts I choose are quite cheap for parts sold in sweden. On www.prisjakt.nu which is a swedish site which basically is where you can search all available parts being sold by stores ranking from cheapest at top to most expensive at bottom. For example, you search for a gtx 7770 all gtx 7770 cards come up like asus, msi, gigabyte, evga and so on. The cooler master 520w right now is about 50-60% off and i believe the 520 will be enough for 2 radeon 7790 with still reasonable headroom but again not by much which I already have taken into consideration. I also don't have an aftermarket CPU cooler which is wish to save for a future upgrade so no OCing until then.

- I run a 1920x1080 resolution on a 24 inch monitor. Prehaps lowering shadow quality to mid as well as running at lower anti-aliasing. If I'm lucky i might get high on most settings but not all. I hope that I will at least get decent fps on mid settings. This card is still quite powerful compared to my integrated 6150le(worlds slowest gpu) which i use for web surfing so DON'T JUDGE! I know it's shitty ffs, I can't even watch 720p YT vids on it.

EDIT: Would it be a good idea to OC my 7790 until I get another 7790 where I crossfire them? Don't know if this card is a good OCing card, can some experienced OCer fill me in on this?

I had to price check stuff side by side to see what the problem was, as it's a little hard to tell at a glance. Instinct said that the SSD might be a luxury your budget is struggling to accommodate, and that would appear to be correct.

I was relying on google translator a bit, so I won't link stuff as it's likely incorrect, but from what I can tell, you should be able to save a bit of money by switching to a cheaper ram kit, a little from the motherboard, and a bit from the case (I found a Bitfenix Outlaw which is about as cheap as I'd like to go). I can see why the PSU is appealing, as it is quite a lot cheaper than anything similar. After that, you are going to struggle to find much money to save unless you drop the size of the SSD or remove it all together. If I was designing a build for that kind of budget, exclusively for gaming, I wouldn't include an SSD at all.
An alternative might be to go for an FX6300 to free up some more graphics budget instead, you'll almost always be better off investing in a good single card that meets your performance needs.

Forgot to mention but I did remove the SSD from my build. Didn't like how it felt in the build with my build. I'd at least need to get better graphics, CPU and RAM to even start thinking about getting a SSD so the whole build was actually 788$ WITHOUT the SSD which I forgot to mention before. The prices are a lot more than in the US. The bitfenix outlaw doesn't have USB 3.0 ports. The price difference btw the 8350 and 6300 wasn't much tbh. Especially from the store i'm buying it of which gives free shiping due to the fact that i'm a member and that I also get discounts from highschool. The Corsair 8GB kit was the cheapest of them all even cheaper than the 1333mhz ones(it's not ranked number 1 for no reason) and the store that sells it comes with free shipping. I was originally getting a 7850 but even if I get an 6300 and it still hits the 800$ mark I won't be able to crossfire in the future since it's takes up to much wattage. It's really unpredictable how 1080p will advance in the future and i'm worried that the 1gb vram and lower speeds won't keep but I don't intend to play the newer games anyways and when I actually decide to do by then I probably got a stronger graphics card. I've noticed that especially at the graphics part big price changes happen a lot especially since there are so many brands and that they are the most expensive part in a build. Like how the asus matrix 7970 platinum went from 4500 SEK to 1500 SEK(huge drop, everyone bought it!). Unfortunately I wasn't around when that happened sadly enough. ;(
