Hi, I'm about to change some parts in my pc and Just wondering if this will be a decent build for medium/high gaming. I mainly play games like Verdun, CSGO, Rising Storm/Red Orchestra and other fps games.

PSU: Corsair 750w
CPU: FX 8320 (although I can go up to a n FX 8350 if that would compliment my mobo and gpu better)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0
GPU: GTX 760 DirectCU II 4GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E
RAM: 16GB Hyperx Savage

So will this be a nice setup for what I want it to do? I was told by my friend that it would be a good setup, just I would like some other feedback aswell :)

I analyzed your rig and build it with pcpartpicker. The price for the card is from external Amazon search, so it maybe not very accurate. It still misses the case and probably cpu cooler, a storage and probably a dvd drive for installing your operating system.
The price for you system is according this list: $771.28
Edit: The list is lost somehow. Did not linked it correctly.

manually entered price for GTX 760:

For this price, I would buy a decent graphics card like GTX 960 or better 970. Do you own the missing parts like case? 16 gb ram for gaming is overkill. And for the psu, I recommend something from Super Flower or Seasonic.

First of all, you don't need 16GB of RAM. Games today don't surpass 8. So cut your memory down to 8GB. Also, change your PSU to a more reliable Tier 1/2 unit, for example, this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii620bronze, and with the extra money you have from cutting down your RAM, get an FX 8350.

Lastly, your graphics card. The GTX 760 will not get you the best performance per dollar you can get. I would recommend an R9 390, or, if you don't have enough money, an R9 380 (but stay away from the 960)

Hi, Thanks for your responses
Yes I already have a case and 1tb Harddrive, I received the gtx 760 today and ill probably buy a better gpu in the future but this one is more that good enough for me now and my budget at the minute, I already had the 16gb of ram, its better to have enough or overkill as you say than to ''Just have enough'' and the psu I bought is the corsair cx750 which will do the job nicely as i had a 500w which i assume came with the case and that blew out earlier.

Thanks for your replies they are much appreciated :)
