I had a question. I am new to PC gaming and i'm gonna build my first pc. i am planning on building this its by austin evan

Specs:
-AMD Athlon X4 760K
-MSI A78M-E35
-Sapphire Radeon R7 260X
-8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport
-1TB Western Digital Black
-430W Corsair CX430
-Corsair SPEC-01 (case)"


it's around 591$ with windows 8 64-bit. I think it's good i saw some people playing battlefield 4 on ultra settings with AMD Athlon x4 760k. I will mainly use it for a bit of gaming from time to time and school work. Since an office computer would cost around 500$ i tought it would be good to buy a gaming pc instead so, I can play from time to time

What do you guys think would this pc be good for me?

The build I proposed is better all around in terms of quality, performance, and efficiency. The only thing better in your proposed build was the hard drive. I do like using fancy storage, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter how nice your hard drives are, you still have to treat them as if they will fail at any time, because they can and DO.

Im not gonna be a hardcore just a normal im gonna buy all my parts from newegg.

So I take the AMD Athlon X4 860K , Its better than AMD x4 athlon 760k right and the graphics cards too though. Also, was the build i provided good too? I dont game too much so like i dont want to pay too much unless its a 20$ difference with taxes between both pc's.
QUESTION:
The build you provided is more better than the build i showed you? It can play most games on 1080P or ultra settings?

The $612 price point includes shipping from those specific retailers. (in most cases, free shipping). Any tax would depend on your specific location relative to the place you are ordering from. Sales tax applies anywhere you share a taxing district with the seller.

All of the businesses that PCpartpicker reports prices for are mainstream, well established, etc. I would not hesitate to order from any of them.
