So I'm about to buy the components to build a new PC. I'm hoping to get some advice before I pull the trigger. These are the components that I intend to buy:



  • CPU: AMD FX-6300
    Motherboard: Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz (2x4GB Kit) CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B
    PSU: Corsair VS650 650w
    HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB ST3000DM001
    SSD: Crucial M500 240GB
    Chassis: Zalman Z3 Plus


I will be doing quite a bit of gaming, and some CAD. Also quite a bit of media and web browsing.
I don't really need games to run at the very best, but I do want them to perform really well. My monitor is 1600x900, so I wont have full HD res anyway. I came to this set up trying to get the most bang for my buck while staying within my budget.

I don't know which graphics card I will use as yet, but it may be a 560ti or something of that range. I won't need more than one. I may possibly do some overclocking in future. And would probably increase the RAM to 16GB as my need grows. I also would like to have a TV connected along with my monitor, and have a DVD drive that I will put in, along with the 2 x 250GB HDD's that I am currently using and 1 250GB in an external enclosure, not that that should make any difference.

I want to know if any of these components have any problem's/issues, or whether they will all work well together.

Thanks for any input.

I see well then it will do fine for now it probably wont be very good for any modern games. I would start saving up for a better card as soon as you can. And i know your on a budget but i personally would not be comfortable with a used graphics card but thats up to you.

Yeah I will need that storage.. I also have a portable 1Tb that's full. I don't want to have to buy more in the next few years. Plus I will likely use 1 250 for backing up

Unfortunately I'm already over budget.. The 560 I'm getting dirt cheap second hand. I'll probably use it for a while and upgrade to a better one when I can at a later stage.
