AMD Athlon X4 760K CPU: http://bit.ly/19Baf3P

MSI A78M-E35 Motherboard: http://bit.ly/1i5hNjP

2GB EVGA GTX 650Ti Boost GPU: http://bit.ly/JMWENn

8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM: http://bit.ly/19g9ejF

430W Corsair CX430 PSU: http://bit.ly/18UZgyn

Rosewill Line-M Case: http://bit.ly/1erNC5S



I'm wondering is this a build that's worth making and if it will be good for gaming. Like how many fps would it get playing games like Call of duty or minecraft. Also do you think any other better cpu would be compatible with this build?

that will be absolutely fine for gaming, it'll do a decent job. Minecraft is a easy game for the PC to play, getting high FPS, call of duty, depends on the game on high it'll roughly get 60FPS on high, yet again depends on the game. That CPU is fine for the build.

CPU: It should do fine, you could do better though.
Mobo: Rather low end board. I have also heard more bad than good about MSI motherboards.
RAM: Good
HDD: ^
GPU: It would handle Minecraft fine, should be able to run CoD alright.
PSU: Time bomb, switch it out ASAP.
Case: Not that many cable management options, in a small space it will cause some problems with ventilation.

Are you kidding me Corsair PSU's are NOT time bombs, Please do not change that PSU out. Corsair are Reliable and one of the most trusted suppliers. i would be worried if you had a thermaltake litepower PSU, NOT a corsair.

4/5 stars with 2,042 reviews, that does not come under time bomb in any case.

3 years warranty as well, that is a extra from corsairs reliability. Not those estimated lifetime bs that companies provide that give no warranty whatsoever. Stick with that PSU.

I never said or implied that all corsair power supplies or any of their other products are bad. I'm a fan of corsair, but it's a well known fact that their CX series are not reliable for gaming. They're not made for that.

the wattage is absolutely fine, so how is that not bad for gaming??, PSU's are not for gaming but to supply power to components, which there is certainly enough headroom watts for that build. The CX series PSU's are great for the Price. The CX are nothing top end, their Corsairs budget PSU's which are surprisingly good.
