As the title implies, instead of buying a PlayStation4 right now, I've decided I want to go over to the PC world of gaming. That being said, I have little idea to how to put different components together to make a budget gaming. I would like to use the PC for basic functions (browsing, watching movies installed on the HD, occasional college course work), but isn't a necessity as I have a laptop as well that can be used for these tasks.
So far, I've put this together: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2tuZL
CPU: AMD A10-5800k 3.8 GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI FM2A75MA-E35 Micro ATX FM2 MB (this gave me troubles to find)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM HD
Video: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7850 2GB Card
Case: NZXT Tempest 210 ATX Mid Tower Case
Power: Corsair CX 500@ 80+ Bronze Certified Simi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Total: $552.22
Feel free to offer suggestions. Again, I have little idea what really is optimal for a system, as this is going to be my first build. The games played will be primarily DayZ Standalone, BF4, BioShock Infinite(?), Watchdogs (?), Skyrim(?), MMOs, and whatever games the next-gen has in store.
I have a mouse, OS (Win 7), and plan to use my HDTV as the monitor. Thanks for the replies ahead of time.
