I am building a budget gaming pc and i would like some advice. (i am using scan value systems)

Ok here are the specs i am probably going to go with - http://gyazo.com/2b51e1916d8bd7613a10d02f02b13758

Does that look ok? Will the cpu Bottleneck, if so by how much, bearing in mind this is intel's newest cpu line refreshed hasswell. Will i be better off going with a fx-6300 if so why? even though it is much older and 32nm

Also how does the GPU look? Is it worth it over the gtx 760?

Are the 2 120mm fans enough for ok temps? (i wont be over clocking) the cpu comes with stock heatsink.

Many thanks

Hello, I cannot check prices well for you as I live in the states, so maybe another user can help more with that.

This system will not have a serious bottleneck. In truth, all computers bottleneck in some way, because tasks are more demanding on different parts. Your CPU in certain graphics situations that are very CPU intensive, like Watch Dogs, will result in bottleneck a bit, but this will probably be temporary in the playing of games. Otherwise most of the time the GPU will run at its full 100% usage without issue.

The GPU you currently have, the R9 280x is faster than the Nvidia GTX 760 so yes it is.

For the FX-6300 it is an option, and honestly the performance for gaming will probably be really close so its hard to say which will be best. If you overclocked the FX-6300 it might be better for gaming but its a big maybe. The Intel system has better future upgrade options though so I would stay with it.

For the fans, I didn't see them listed but don't worry much about it. Your CPU won't get hot really even with the stock fan it is fine. As long as you have one or two fans on your PC case to vent air so your graphics card stays nice and cool then you will fine don't worry.

I think the fans come with the case, they are 2 120mm fans, so you think that the i3 will do fine, great thats what i was hoping for as long as gpu stays around 95% usage i will be happy.
