i have decided to build my own computer (as all of you would suggest) however it is my first time and i'm somewhat lost. I've created my own build on part picker, and i would like to know if it is "good". i will use it to game, and i am trying to keep it under $600 w/ operating system. i am up for suggestions and changes, but i want the motherboard to be ready in case i want to put in more/better GPU's or a better CPU later on.
Here is the Build:
CPU AMD FX-4300 3.8GHz Quad-Core $84.99
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ Combo or $74.99
Memory G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 $70.99
StorageWestern Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM $54.98
Video Card Gigabyte Radeon R7 260X 1GB $99.99
Case Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower $39.99
Power Supply Corsair 430W ATX12V $19.99
Optical Drive Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer $16.99
Operating System Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) Combo or $101.98
Total: 544.89
i also dont have a keyboard or mouse with it. thanks in advance

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qVHTjX this is your upgradeable build... amd already said no new fx processors are coming...kaveri is the new way of amd and will allow future upgrades also the power supply is enough for future upgrades. and the cpu in my build is ready to OC and unlocked so you will not need upgrades as soon. hope this fits your needs

Your build is decent for your budget, but it won't play on high graphics. If you want your build to be ready for upgrades, then I suggest to get a better PSU as well because it will cause issues later. If you want to upgrade later, make sure that the motherboard is compatible with other better CPUs to that you do not have to purchase another one if you want to upgrade.
