Hi.

I want to share and ask if this build components are good for homework, gaming, working and stuff.

So, first of all, I have limited budget.

I wan't to order these components in next week, here they are.



Processor:

AMD FX-8320



Video card:

Asus AMD/ATI Radeon R9 270X 2GB



Motherboard:

Asus M5A97 LE R2.0



Computer case:

Cooler Master Midi Tower Elite 310



Power supply:

Corsair Builder CX750 ATX2.3 80+ 750W



Fan: (3 pieces)

Corsair Case Fan AF140 140mm



Processor hydro-cooler:

Corsair CPU Cooling Hydro Series H100i



RAM: (1 stick)

Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR3 CL10



Display:

Philips 233V5LHAB 23" LED



Storage:

1TB HDD Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm.



So, the questions are:

1.) Could this be a decent gaming computer, to play games like Battlefield 4, Crysis 3, or any other high-end game?

2.) Playing Battlefield on 1920x1080 with Ultra, 4XAA, how much FPS would I get?

3.) Is bottleneck possible between CPU and GPU?

4.) Are parts compatible?

5.) Will this PC overheat, assuming it will have 3 fans and CPU water cooling, and playing BF4 Online nearly every 2 days?

6.) Please do me a favor, and rate this PC from 1-10, thanks a lot in advance.



Please answer all my questions, that would be really good.

Cheers.

1. It will be good for playing those games, probably at high settings.
2. The R9 270x, though it is a capable card will not run BF4 at Ultra with 4XAA at suitable frame rates, I'm guessing probably around 40 if you're lucky.
3. No.
4. No, the CPU cooler will not work in the case you've given, so I would just recommend getting either a different case, or going with a different cooler.
5. It will not overheat unless a component is faulty or airflow is very poor. Playing BF4 Online every 2 days should be no problem.
6. I would rate it a 8/10, it looks like a pretty good computer.

Some honest thoughts on your build however would be to replace a few parts. Let's start with the PSU. It will only need about 600W's, as your system shouldn't be...

Some honest thoughts on your build however would be to replace a few parts. Let's start with the PSU. It will only need about 600W's, as your system shouldn't be pulling to much. Here is a very good, semi-modular PSU.

Second, your RAM should be 2 sticks of 4GB each, it will be much more beneficial. Here's some decent 8GB kits, but if you like you could find one yourself too.

Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($64.99 @ Newegg)

Oh, and you might not even need any of those fans as long as your case has decent airflow, or fans come with the case itself. Extra fans are usually only needed in higher performance PC's, but I'm guessing they wouldn't hurt in something like this, it may even be good for future upgradability.
Keep in mind that those fans will probably get pretty loud, so a better option would be to get something in Corsair's SP lineup.

Other than that, looks pretty good. Happy building!

Hi. 1 ) you don't need that much PSU. Go with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119 which is modular and good for cable management and save you some money.
2). You don't need Water Cooling. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO will do fine and also save you some money. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099
3) Get a Pair of 4g Sticks instead of a single 8Gb stick http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231477
4) That case was no longer available at Newegg, this one will do fine and comes with enough fans eliminating the need to buy more and saving you some money. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119272

NOTE: The GSkill Ares listed in the above post is good as well.

i agree with both of these two answers ^^^ overkill on psu UNLESS you want crossfire/sli in the future. water cooling is also not needed unless planning to go with a high overclock. Get a R9 280x to really jam on games but the 270x is what i will be getting in the near future. I have no need to run the best games at the HIGHEST settings. Games are fun as long as the look decent and more importantly run smooth. I only hear good things on the evo 212. awesome build though!
