Hi TH Forum-dwellers
I've set myself a budget of £600 for the gaming pc which I will build within the next 2-4 weeks
I would like some advice/opinions on my choice of components for this build, such as whether you think my build is balanced, or if you've had particular experiences with certain components on my list, aswell as suggestions on other components I could use instead.
I have spent much time researching and assessing the value/compatibility of the different components that I am about to list, this is also my first post, so I hope you will appreciate that.
Processor: AMD FX-6300
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0
Graphics card: MSI GeForce GTX 760 HAWK edition
RAM: Patriot Viper 3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi R2
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Power Supply: Corsair CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular
Disc drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer
