Hello. I am looking to upgrade my current (4-5 year old) laptop with a desktop pc. I have configured a build, which fits nearly exactly into my relatively low budget (about €550/$650).
The case has already been bought, so that is no longer of any importance.
The things that I need it to do are:
- Games (at 1600x900)
Browsing the internet smoothly
- Chrome with around 15/20 tabs open and multiple Youtube videos (on 2 monitors)
Some light video editing, after effects, and Photoshop
Here is the setup:
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0
Power Supply: XFX Pro 550W
Processor: AMD FX-6300
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (1600 MHz)
Hard Drive: WD Blue 1TB
Graphics Card: MSI N660 Gaming OC (GTX 660)
This will be my first build, so I'm not sure if everything will work properly.
Could you please rate this build, according to the requirements stated above?
(Also, my budget is pretty tight and I live in the Netherlands, so pricing might be different, and I can't really go much higher than this. But if something is critically wrong then I'll probably be able to afford something better.)

■Source engine games (eg. Team Fortress 2 or Garry's Mod)
■Some older games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and GTA 4
■Preferably the ability to play newer games like BF3 or BF4 (quality doesn't matter much)
■Minecraft

I personally would get a Gigabyte or ASUS 970 board, but that's personal choice lol
