Hi, I made a pc configuration on pcpartspicker and would like to know if the system will work fine and if it would be bottle-necked in any way. Also, if you know of any parts that are the same price or cheaper with the same or greater performance, please tell me. Thanks :)

Thanks for the quick replies, I'v updated the part list to this now: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/lukestrong/saved/3wTB
Removing the fan/paste lowered the cost so in total it only costs a little bit more than the original. I'm not adding ram because I don't have enough money for it, but in future I might. Thanks again everyone :)

It will work perfectly well. But you don't need the thermal paste or heatsink, the processor comes with it. If you're going to buy a gpu though, I would switch to an AM3 processor. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/IlLl (it's just a tiny bit more expensive than what you picked, but the performance will be worth it)

- Case doesn't have USB 3.0. If that doesn't bother you, then it's fine.
- 600W is also a little overboard, but also totally fine
- You don't need thermal paste. That's pre-applied on the CPU
- You should get an R9 260x gpu instead
- An FX series CPU would be better if you can jump up in price a bit.

Yeah, CPU is a no go. Only 2 cores, too slow. Use the x4 750. Drop the HS/Fan/Paste if you need to save money, stock is fine.

RAM is too low. The MB only has 2 slots, so you would be stuck at 4GB. Go with an 8GB set instead.

I would ditch the older 7790 and go with the R7 260x as well. TrueAudio support, better driver support, etc.

His CPU will work fine with a graphics card. It would be better if he had an FX series cpu, but there aren't any for that price.
