Added parts for study
Need to OC (Once I learn how to)
Gamimg at 1080p for 60fps?
Customisable?
Plan to add a sound card, Wireless. network adapter and hopefully another GPU
Good or not?
If you don't think its good try and answer with constructive criticism.

Very nice, just add a cpu cooler when you do overclock it... If you won't push oc too far hyper evo 212 will be enough, otherwise get some 2 fan radiator liquid cooler like h100i

Please post the permalink on the left hand side of the screen right below where it says "System Build".

I really wonder how you see his build...

Thaisnang · Sep 15, 2014

LOL. I made the same build for another guy.
Here is the link http://pcpartpicker.com/p/xFQfVn
Did you picked the parts yourself?

lightcloud · Sep 15, 2014

No no no... Why is everybody saying that. Did you see his link? It is not permalink.

Lol didn't notice it.

i7Baby · Sep 15, 2014

OP - post your build

TheAlphaMaleGamer · Sep 15, 2014

Thaisnang :

Hold on is not the same

lightcloud · Sep 15, 2014

That's what I have been trying to say read all my replies.

lightcloud · Sep 15, 2014

Now yours. Don't get an APU for gaming. Get a FX-6300 or FX-8250 for the CPU with a 990 or 990FX chipset motherboard.

Will you overclock?

Bad choice of PSU if you overclock. Get one from tier 1-2. Here's the list to assist you out mate.

I am in Australia where I dont have a wide choice and my PSU is a Tier 2 Class A

I will consider the FX CPU's

i7Baby · Sep 15, 2014

The A8 will choke your PC.

lightcloud · Sep 15, 2014

Yes I am Australian too mate. Try the Antec High Current Gamer if you can see in my sig. It is only a $109 for a Tier 2 Class A.

lightcloud · Sep 15, 2014

Then go with the PSU listed before— Antec HCG 520W.

Check this for the overclocking.

i7Baby · Sep 15, 2014

The A8 won't keep up to any strong GPU. Yes you can OC all FX CPU

TheAlphaMaleGamer · Sep 15, 2014

i7Baby :

I mean will the mobo OC?
Don't think that i will Xfire the GPU with on board one

i7Baby · Sep 15, 2014

You need to do some research. The mobo will let you OC the CPU - yes.
