Opinion on this PC for gaming (£600-)

Lincspoacher · Jun 13, 2015

So I was looking to build a gaming pc for under £600 and I wanted to know if this would be good for gaming and what sort of performance I could get out of it, especially in games like BF4. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated. The link for the build is here: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/LLcbQ7

Board, memory and PSU need to be changed. The FX chips don't like to play nice with modules over 1866mhz and AMD recommends 1866mhz modules as the max speed for use with them. The motherboard is a very old, low quality chipset, certainly not a good choice for a Piledriver chip nor for overclocking. The lowest tiered boards I'd use with chip are the Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3, 970A-UD3P and MSI 970 Gaming. The 78LMT-USB3 should only be used if the other two are absolutely out of the budget. It too is a very old chipset.

The Corsair CX, CS, VS and RM units are not recommended for use with gaming or overclocking rigs. They have cheap internal components, Chinese caps, etc, and don't tend to have very long lifecycles when used in these kinds of builds. Stick to high quality units in positions of Tier 1 or 2 at the following list:
