Hi fellow users of tom’s Hardware forums, so for the past 6 months, I’ve been saving money for a gaming pc. After picking and looking through sites like pcpartpicker.com, I believe I have put together a beast of a pc for an affordable price:
Cpu: AMD FX-6300
Gpu: Gigabyte GV-N75TOC-2GI

RAM:G.Skill F3-14900CL10S-8GBXL

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43

Case: BitFenix Comrade

Hard drive: Western Digital
WD10EZEX

Power Supply: Corsair
CX600M

Fan: Noctua NF-F12 PWM Cooling Fan

Operating system: Microsoft WN7-00615

Total: 862.93 (if all parts bought on Amazon)

I love this pc I picked out but, I need to bring the price down. This pc is going to be used mostly for heavy gaming, and I would love to know how to Photoshop and edit videos.
At the moment, I have 500$ to spend, and I want a pc to run any game I throw at it with around 48fps on high settings. I would also love if it could run Skyrim, no lag, high or ultra, and almost all mods.
Please I ask of you to list me parts or a whole new pc that would be able to reach this goal.
If like the pc above, it’s over budget, I may be able to wait a couple months to reach the required amount of money.
Can’t wait to read from you!!!
