I'm trying to build a mid ranged gaming pc (500~550$ budget) but its my first custom build so I figured its better to ask the experts for help
So far the only things i have my sights set on are AMD FX 6300 CPU and Asus M5A97 Mobo. I'm going to use my current HDD and Optical drive so those two are set as well.
The things I need help with:
1.Video Card
What would be your recommendation for a video card ? I'm mostly be going to play WoW, Dota2 and occasionaly Assassin's Creed/BF4 (and some newer games i'm planning to buy - DA4/ME:Shadows of Mordor)
I've had a look at Radeon 260x and the 270x series and they seemed quite appealing to me and the reviews I've read so far were favorable as well.
2. SSD
I know that an SSD wont improve my FPS, but I've seen an SSD in action and it completely blows the traditional HDDs out of the water and I'm very tempted to get one. What do you guys think ?
3. Are the CPU and Mobo too low for my requirements ?
Apologies if this post was made in the wrong section and thanks in advance!
