Hi I'm from India and this is my first gaming build. I am planning to play skyrim, watchdogs, bf4 and hopefully gta 5 on medium to high settings

Here's my build....
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BKBxNG

CPU= AMD FX 6300
MOBO= ASUS M5A78LM-USB3
GPU= MSI RADEON R9 270X
RAM= GSKILL RIPJAWS (2X4GB)
PSU= CORSAIR CS450M
STORAGE = Seagate Barracuda 1TB
CASE= Cooler Master N200 Micro atx

Ps: I don't plan on OCing, do I need an aftermarket cooler, also suggest me some cabinets that might suit this build and available in India.. Thanks
 
You don't need an aftermarket cooler if you aren't OCing. And I can tell you 100% that you can run skyrim on high and bf4 on ultra. I don't know about watchdogs but you can probably run that on ultra too. And as for GTA V I don't know of a spec list so it's hard to say but it will probably run on at least high (unless it's like GTA IV)

Agree with some of the suggestions above, and here is mine:

- you don't need a modular smps, and CX series is enough cs is an overkill for a five hundred USD build

- if your display is a single monitor with ten eighty p, then I guess two seventy x is enough, I even recommend nvidia gtx 750 ti due to it's efficiency


- do remember to get gaming accessories

Dude don't get a fx if u wish to keep open the upgradation path. I know 6300 is pretty good option for tight budget but AM3+ is dead & I won't recommend it. Get i5-4440 with B85 mobo & u'll certainly get better performance. If u r really low on budget i3-4150 will do ur job as well.
Anyway where r u from? I'm from Kolkata.
