Hello:) , I am building a new gaming PC, although I have a knowledge on PCs, I would love to advice me for my new build!:pt1cable: 

This is the build I think that should be good for gaming (I want to play new games in high quality and with high FPS). I dont want to pay more than 1.200€, as the below build costs ~1.150€..!

Case: Corsair Carbide 300R Gaming Case

CPU: AMD FX-8320 (AM3+, 3.5GHz) (if you suggest any better CPU, dont hesitate to mention it)

Motherboard: MSI 990FXA-GD65

Cooler: Xigmatek Apache Cpu Cooler (CAC-D9IA0-U01)

Graphics Card: Sapphire-R9 270X 4GD5 DX Boost OC (Engine Clock:1020MHz, 256-bit)

Memory: Corsair DDR3 8GB (2x4GB)Kit 1600MHz Vengeance

Storage: Western Digital SATA III 2TB 64MB GREEN

SSD: SanDisk SSD 128GB Sata III Ultra Plus

Power Supply: Turbo-X PSU 750W Real Series II (As for the PSU I just want to know how much ???W should i have)

Optical Drive: Samsung DVD-RW SH-224DB/BEBE Black Bulk

Monitor: Samsung LED TV-Monitor 23'' T23C350EW (2ms)



Also, i have to mention that i want to OC my FX-8320 at max, so, any recommendations for OC it will be helpful :)

That CPU cooler doesn't fit your CPU. You need something AM3+ socket compatible. A good cheap one is the Hyper Evo 212. Great cooler for cheap and will allow some overclocking. High overclocking though, AMD chips run hot. You need a good case, good case fans, and sometimes extreme mods like gluing a fan to the back of your motherboard to keep it cool. I can hit 4.6ghz on my 8320, but only with a liquid cooler, fan on my motherboard and 6 case fans to keep everything cool.

Looks like a good build though and you could do some medium-high quality gaming in games like BF4 and such. Don't expect to hit ultra though with the video card. I would also try and go 16gb ram now. I know everyone says 8 is enough, but I find with 16gb, everything is smooth and I can have 10 windows open and start a game and have problems rather than having to worry about shutting stuff down.

Also, stay away from the GREEN drives. They suck for anything but data storage and occasional access. If you are putting your OS on the SSD and the games on the GREEN drive, everything will be slow. They just don't have the speed for all the time fast access.

In what speed i can reach with the Hyper Evo 212 without heating problems? Is the case good enough? And also, what GPU you recommend for gaming? I dont want to pay much more than 250EUR (at the price of the GPU i mentioned above. Also, why 16GB ram? All games are *RAM demanding* ? I think that games now are *GPU demanding*.

Don't have to do the 16gb, just on a system to get 2x8gb's now and not worry about it seems good. If that GPU is at your budget, it is what it is. You can spend $1000 on GPU's to try and max stuff, so don't get caught up in that game. You should be able to hit 4-4.2 easily without any increase in voltage or heat really. AFter that it starts to get really hot really fast.

so you recommend the FX8320 for gaming? as it is 8-core proccesor and now many games are core-demaning, i think that it is just perfect for that work. Which GPU you recommend???!!!
Also, as for the driver, i'm gonna buy a seagate then.:)
