I have never built a PC before. I am trying to cut costs by building my own since price is a limiting factor in what I can get. I have a small amount of knowledge on if my parts will be good enough for what I am wanting to do with this PC. Before I go any further, I might as well explain what this PC will be used for.
Gaming- I am a huge gamer. I am looking for a good, solid frame rate on newer games. Preferably on high-ultra settings.
Music- I am a amateur music producer and I am wanting to make sure I will not be limited by the specs of my PC. This is a priority.
Video editing- Every now and then, I will feel like dabbling with video editing and the like, and I would like the ability to do so.
Recording Gameplay- This may fall under gaming but I didn't think of it at the time. I'd like to be able to record as I play sometimes. Maybe even stream on Twitch.
Now that I've finished rambling about what I am going to do with it, we can get to the important part. The specs.
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI 760GM-P34(FX) Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: HIS Radeon R9 280X 3GB IceQ X² Video Card
Case: Cougar MG100 MicroATX Mini Tower Case
Power Supply: XFX 650W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
I'm looking to run a lot of newer games at 1080p on max settings, on a limited budget. For me, this all adds up to about 750 dollars, and I was wondering if it was a good build with compatible parts. Also, if you can improve it for the price, feel free. That's the kinda stuff I'm going for here
Thanks!
