I'm planning on building a gaming computer that I can also use as a home theater system to play my cable through windows media player. I didn't have a set budget, but I wanted to spend as little as possible and still have a system that wouldn't need to be upgraded for a few years. Here is what I'm thinking so far:


AMD FX-6300 3.5GHZ

Corsair Cooling Hydro H55 CPU cooler

Corsair Carbide series 400R mid-Tower

Corsair Vengeance Pro Black 16GB 1600 Ram

Corsair CX 600W 80 plus bronze modular power supply

Asus M5A99x EVO R2.0 Motherboard

Gigabyte R9 280x 3GB GPU

Ceton Infini TV 4 channel cable card

Any suggestions are welcome. I would like the complete build to be under $1,000
 
Solution
-Go for 2x4gb of ram. 8gb is plenty for games.
-Upgrade the processor to the FX-8320.
-Change the cooler to the CM Hyper 212 EVO. It's cheaper and should perform the same as the H55, if not better.
