My friend and I made a gaming pc build on pcpartpicker and I wanna get some feedback because this community is constantly suggesting better deals and better components. Anyway I think I might have some bottle-necking on this and its my first build. My budget is around 800 and I want to be able to play a variety of games without lag. Thanks :D

Edit: I do not plan on overclocking in case that makes a difference. :p

Much better CPU performance, and a better GPU for $15 more. Could cut down the cost by getting a bit cheaper case, but that's personal preference lol

IMO you should bring down the cost of the Case. Also keep the peripherals out of the build budget. You get better builds this way. It seems to me that you have about a 800 dollar build so you can put aside for OS, ect...

It says the CPU (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/amd-cpu-fd6300wmhkbox) and the Motherboard (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga970ads3p) have compatibility issues.
Quote "Potential Issues/Incompatibilities - Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs."
I don't know what that means as I'm only just getting into all the parts of a computer. So just wondering if I should discard this and do it anyway, do something to fix it, or just get a new part. Thanks again :)
