Help!!!!!
I am tying to decide on componets for my new mid range gaming pc build and I went overbudget, I was planning to purchase within the next week or two.

Could anyone help me please? The whole build needs to be arround $900.
Also I am a first time builder, please explain everything simply :D
Parts: All from MWAVE

ASRock 970 EXTREME4 Motherboard: $115

Samsung 840EVO: 120gb SSD: $115

Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 2133MHz Memory

CMZ8GX3M2X2133C9R : $198
Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 270X 4GB Dual-X Overclocked Boost Video Card : $295

AMD FX-6300 Black Edition 6-Core Socket AM3+ CPU Processor : $139 (Not sure whether or not to get the 8350)

Western Digital WD5000AAKX WD 500GB Blue 3.5” 7200RPM SATA3 Hard Drive : $70

Corsair VS Series 650W Power Supply : $79

Samsung SH-224Db Internal SATA DVD burner Drive : $20

Corsair Carbine Series 400r case : $125

Could someone please help get the build back down to a reasonable price without compromising performance in games such as Minecraft, Battlefield and CoD.

Thanks in advance

Drop to 1600mhz memory. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231311 77.99
The performance gain is not going to be noticable

change to Nvidia GTX 760 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130932 259.99
benchmarks are virtually same or better in some cases (http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/zardon/amd-r9-270x-review/8/)

Go with Antec Three Hundred illuminated case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129066 64.99

Also some of your prices are out of date. hope this info helped.

also don't buy from mwave. you are over paying on all the parts. $25 on the case. $20 on the CPU. look at newegg. even amazon is cheaper.

as pointed out you should not be spending more than $100 on 8GB of ram and really under $70 is perfectly doable. and $125 is excessive for a case if you are overbudget. its really just there to hold the parts. there is no reason you couldn't get a 280x in there if you wait for the prices to drop back where they belong.

Newegg will not ship to Australia, that is why prices may appear to be out of date as everything is overp priced here
