First Computer Build Help Needed

colt45strickland · Nov 28, 2014

I need opinions on this build. The parts are:

DIYPC Shadow Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353052
A88X Gigabyte Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128655
AMD A8-6600k CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113333
HyperX Fury 8GB RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104450
Corsair CSM 550W PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139059
MSI GTX 760 GPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127745
500 GB HDD(from a stock Dell)

My main concern is if this PSU will be able to handle this build.

Yeah this build is good, your PSU is absoluteley fine, i just built my first as well and i think that PSU is fine unless you are thinking of super-clocking and adding more components

Why are you getting an APU if your getting a discrete graphic card? You should change up the motherboard an CPU.

Ah yes just noticed, good spotting

You could get the FX-8320 for 15 $ more and grab a AM3 board probably one around same price

Thats completely right. I forgot about it being an APU. When I first picked out the parts i wasn't sure if when i would be able to get a GPU, so I picked out that APU. I'm going to stick with it because it will be a few months until I can get the GPU.

Memhorder · Nov 28, 2014

That may be bad idea. That APU may bottleneck the GPU after.
