Please consider using www.pcpartpicker.com as it will help us look at your build without having to open so many tabs. It will also help you trim down the price.

Otherwise, the build looks pretty solid. I have that case and motherboard and love em'. The only thing I'd have you think about is getting a Hyper 212 Evo or an equivalent CPU cooler. The Vishera processors are very noisy on their stock coolers.

Edit: Also, you're paying a premium for that RAM, you could trim off $10 with something like the Crucial Ballistix Line

looks pretty good. you will need an aftermarket cooler if you want to get the performance you need out of that fx-6300. I recommend the cooler master hyper 212 evo.

did you know about http://pcpartpicker.com? you can build your machine there and possibly save some money.

you are overpaying by a ton on some of those parts. especially the graphics card.


Here are the adjustments I would recommend making:


PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($98.89 @ OutletPC)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($24.89 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($83.89 @ OutletPC)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($44.89 @ OutletPC)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($49.88 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB Vapor-X Video Card ($162.98 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case ($64.99 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $590.40
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Wait for Steam Sales ;) Also, select N3rdR4ge as the answer since he did answer before me with almost the same information. Thanks!
