Good low-end Gaming build?

This is a better built for you and it should give you more fps, more variety of games to play and better performance over all at near close cost... with out the aftermarket cpu cooler should be lower than the original built.

Your build might be reasonable if you expected no future upgrade needs.
The A8 is a decent cpu with very good integrated graphics.
Once you add a discrete card, you negate that advantage.
Few games use more than 2-3 cores.
And once you want to upgrade the cpu, you can get more cores which are not that helpful.

Here is my stock budget build list of things to consider.

------------------------------ budget build ---------------------------
For a budget build, I like to recommend that one builds for future expandability.
That means paying a bit more up front for some parts that allow for an easier future upgrade.
Let me start where you might not expect:
1. Buy a good 620w psu. Such a unit will run any future graphics card.
I would normally suggest Seasonic 620w:

But this EVGA 600w unit is going for a very good price:

2. Buy a Z97 based motherboard. Z97 will allow you to install a overclockable cpu and even offer a future 14nm broadwell upgrade.
You should find one for under $100.
Here is a M-ATX : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157529
3. I suggest a G3258. It is a overclockable dual core at a budget price of about $75.
Here is what it can do: http://techreport.com/review/26735/overclocking-intel-p...
In time, you can upgrade to any cpu that you want and market the G3258.
4. The intel stock cooler will do the job up to a point. But, I suggest a $30 tower type cooler like the cm hyper212 with a 120mm fan. It will cool better and be quieter under load.
5. For ram, speed is not important. Buy a 8gb kit of 2 x 4gb DDR3 1.5v ram.
If you will be using the integrated graphics, I suggest faster ram. It improves the performance. 1866 is good. You will get a WEI of 6.4.
6. Cases are a personal thing. Buy one you love. Most will do the job for <$50.
It would be hard to beat $34 delivered for this Antec GX500 :

7. The graphics card is the most important component for gaming. My usual rule of thumb is to budget 2x the cpu cost for the graphics card. I like the GTX750ti and EVGA as a brand.
Here is a superclock version:

You could go stronger in the video card if your budget permits and your games need it.
On the other hand, you could build using the integrated graphics and see how you do.
By deferring on the graphics card, you will get a better idea of what you really need.
Integrated is fine for sims, but not fast action games.
8. Lastly, I will never build again without a SSD for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do so much quicker. 120gb will hold the OS and a handful of games. With 240gb you may never need a hard drive at all. Defer on a hard drive until your ssd approaches 90% full.

-------------good luck------------

You can do better with this combo and be sit longer for the future..

motherboard.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130790


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286 cpu

this is actually cheaper then what you picked and better performance..

Gpu you picked was on the weaker side

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131604
this is faster you get a rebate all this costs a little bit less then what you had plan to buy and there are 2 free games included.


hope this helps...

Liereaper you forgot to include a motherboard in the build for him just so you know he will need that with a 8320 cpu its a am3+ socket...

No i added the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard its AM3+ socket Its under the aftermarket CPU cooler

Its true it cant be crossfire at all!. Cheek the built i made it has 8 cores double that the A8 the motherboard its cheaper but still the best for the price. But it lacks of expansion ports that yours has but also i improve the graphics cards. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dv9623
