As I'm going to uni next year I thought I'd build my own pc as I love gaming and will also need something to do my work on. My budget is 600-700 although I would prefer the lower side of the budget lol. I only need a pc as I already have peripherals and an OS. I was thinking of a build going along the lines of

CPU: Fx 8320
PSU: Corsair 600w
GPU: Gtx 760
Ram: 8gb ram
Harddrive: 1tb WD
SSD: Maybe a 120g ssd depending on the budget
Case: Zalman z9
Motherboard: unsure
Cooler: 212 evo

So if anyone could advise me on a mobo and anything else on the build, for example an i5 instead of an fx etc
 
Solution
Looks good. My suggestions would be to drop the SSD and upgrade the GPU to a 280x. Also try to go for a higher quality PSU than a Corsair CX. For a motherboard try to get one with a 990FX chipset.
