First PC Build

jbgoedebeste · Apr 6, 2014

I'm going to build my first gaming PC with a max of 1000 dollars.

This is my current list:

I don't pick an ssd because I wanted to focus on my video card and I picked the 8350 apart from the 8320 because I don't want to overclock to get the same performance.
I also wanted to upgrade later to Crossfire the video card or eventually get another card when needed.

Is there anything that needs to be changed or am I ready to go?

I think you're ready to go.

AMD Radeon · Apr 6, 2014

it is a revision of your build, with better price/performance parts selection
amd970 chipset isnt good enough for dual GPU because it will run at 16x/4x
990FX run CFX at 16x/16x
and i add 280X + Seasonic GOLD 750W

Because I just looked at the specs that I needed and picked the cheapest ones, it was apperently not the best. I didn't know very much about motherboard. Thanks!
