So after reading threads for the last month, I've decided on tackling my first build. I was shooting for a $500 build (without OS) but it's up just past 600 now.
If you don't mind helping, I have some questions.
I'm going with AMD FX-6300 and Asus M5A97 R2.0 (~$200), PowerColor Devil R9-270X ($200) and RaidMax ATX809 ($50).
Mostly, choosing parts was based off of budget, but where a small increase in price included better bang for the buck, I went there.
For PSU, I'm looking at around $50. I've seen corsair cx500 and cx600 for same price. Is too much power going to hurt me? For RAM, I was looking at GSkill ripjaw x 2x4gb. Should I go with 1600 or 1833? Is there a big difference?
Will the r9 fit in this case and will I need to connect it to the psu directly?
Also, for this price ~650, should I be swapping parts out? If rather get closer to 600.
Thanks
