Hey everyone! Below is the specs on my gaming computer! If you suggest anything then I will listen but be reasonable cause I cant spend a ton of money. I have around an 800$ budget.

CPU - AMD FX - 8350 4 GHz/4.2 Ghz Turbo 8/8 L2/L3 Cache

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UDA AM3+ 4 memory sockets

Ram - G.SKILL Sniper Series 2 x 4GB 1866 MHz Cas Latency 9

GPU - (NEED HELP ON) nVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB

Case - Have one at home (Free)

Fans - Have enough at home (Free)

Wifi Card - Im using Ethernet

HardDrive - 250GB Western Digital 7200RMP (I don't use a hard drive much so 250GB is good) (Free)

Power Supply - Antec 500W Energy Saver SMART Power Supply (Free)


THANK YOU! Thanks again for taking your time and reading through this! Leave ANY info one what I can do! Thanks!

If you are in a budget, FX 8320 would be better, you just need to overclock it a little to get 8350 power and its cheaper.
If you could get a GTX 760 would be better cause its the sweet spot for 1080p 60fps at high settings :)
The rest is fine :)

GREAT! But can I run the 760 off of a 500W power supply? Also could you maybe link the 760 that you suggest? Thanks

As for the mobo, I have a GA-990FXA-UD7 Rev 1.1 and it's been a pain in my butt since I bought it. These boards are really inconsistent quality-wise and I wouldn't recommend one if you're planning on overclocking. Now I got the short end of the stick, you might get more lucky and get a very good board but it's a lottery with these boards.

You could go for the ASRock Extreme3 [strike]or 6[/strike] (EDIT: The Extreme6 with 990FX doesn't exist apparently, my bad), not sure about the prices but it shouldn't be too big of a difference and these boards are solid, reliable performers.
