Hi,

i like playing games - those kind of games that you can play for a little longer then Assassins Creed Unity. You know, i`m talking about Skyrim, The Witcher, Assassins Creed Black Flag, etc..

I have a Motherboard, Ram and a CPU. Next i want to buy a Graphics Card and a Power Supply for the Card.

Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 Motherboard (AMD 970/SB950, DDR3, 6 x S-ATA 600, ATX, PCI-Express 2.0, USB 3.0, Socket AM3+)

CPU: AMD FX8350 Black Edition 8 Core Processor (4.0/4.2GHz, 8MB Level 3 Cache, 8MB Level 2 Cache, Socket AM3+, 125W, Retail Boxed)

RAM: Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1600 MHz CL9 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit - Black


I was looking at this Graphics Card: MSI AMD R7 370 Gaming Graphics Card (4 GB, OC, PCI-E 3.0, GDDR5, DVI-I, HDMI)

The Question is: What kind of Power Supply do i need? I want a decent one, one that does not blow up after 6 Months and one, that is preferably ~100 GBP, but no more then 120 GBP. And all in all, would this build be recommended for the above listed games or should i consider using a different graphics card?

Thank you very much for any advise!
 
Solution
your mobo is a crap one...
``NO heatsink on the Voltage Regulator Module!!!
Unstable, poor choice for running ANY sort of games.
Overheats, and drops the CPU voltage to prevent it from frying. I have the AMD FX-8350, Waayyy too much for this motherboard. Going to have to buy a new one``
