I am not very experience with building a PC so I wanted you gentlemen's opinions about this. This is a theoretical build I want to do. I don't really have a budget in mind as I will be getting these parts over time. I don't really care about being up to date with hardware and such until I get a better paying job and can afford to do so. (college student) but anyway here is my build, like I said I have no sp[ecific budget.

CPU: AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition
$118.49
Graphics card: Gigabyte R9 280X GDDR5-3GB
$298.98
Motherboard: MSI Computer Corp. Motherboard ATX DDR3 800
$79.99
Powersupply: Cooler Master GX - 750W 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply
$115.00
Memory: ADATA USA Premier Pro 2.5-Inch 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive $74.29 (SSD is for operating system) and a WD Blue 1 TB Desktop hard drive, 7200 rpm , sata 6 gb/s 64 MB cache $59.24
Ram: Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600MHz
$121.00

That is just the actual computer (that has yet to be built and no parts have been bought) the rest like the case, keyboard, mouse and moniter have been covered. I just wondered what you guys thought of this. Like I said I had no real budget but I am asking what you guys honestly think about this build. Thank you.

Hey Cody,

it looks fine. If I had to make some suggestion is maybe buying a smaller wattage PSU (600 or 650) and putting the extra money (plus a bit more) towards FX-8320. Also not sure what is the motherboard on your list exactly.

Which motherboard is that, exactly?

For a low budget build, I would get a 970 chipset motherboard. But if you can afford it, for sure get a 990FX board.

I would get a better quality PSU, like a Corsair (not CX series), XFX or maybe EVGA. Read the reviews, though, every company might have a few bad products, and even companies that usually have lower quality PSU's can have a few stellar ones.

Bad idea... There's only a noticeable performance difference between the FX-6300 and FX-8320 in games that use 8 cores. That's exactly 2 games in the world right now, and there likely will only be a few more this generation. He should stick with the FX-6300, or go to an i3. Either one works... But not FX-8320, not for the sake of efficiency alone.
