Was wondering about some feed back on my very first build
MOBO-78lmt USB 3.0 rev 6.0
CPU FX 6300
Cooler Artic freezer A11
Ram 2 8gb Aegis ddr3 1333mhz
PSU Sentey 725watt
GPU r9 380x xfx xxxoc
Storage Toshiba p300 1tb 7200 rpm
Case DIY PC f2 case (though this may be the incorrect name of it it slips my mind ) lol
Total 550$ go easy new to this honestly

I personally think my mobo choice was quite poor

Well I accidentally down voted your thread water_damage I didn't know what the arrows did new to this lol but personally I wanted an AMD specific rig fully aware that Intel performs better in most cases I just have a weird draw towards AMD but the rig is for 1080p gaming with some video editing and running and using some game engines such as unity unreal etc and in all honesty I paid 523.45 for the entire rig I just rounded up to 550 but I just hope I didn't to bad for my needs ?

That's ok, don't worry about the downvote. I couldn't care less about ratings.
And you did fairly well for a first build on your build, but the RAM on it was really slow.
Here's what I'd recommend for AMD- good video card and strong processor, and you NEED 16 gb of ram for video editing. (I've tried making graphics on my 4gb ram laptop and I can't do it)

Well hey I just felt rude about it because I didn't want to seem as if I didn't enjoy the advice but hey I'm glad you think so and I actually enjoy the rig you have set up here though I would probably bump up from the 950 to something a little beefier but the rest I like maybe when I do a second build I will use this and maybe edit some things like the case and the 950 as I said. Also is it really that slow? I was always reading and watching the speeds when it came to ram had a very negligible performance difference in gaming so I always assumed it meant the same for video editing but I take it that was an incorrect assumption? Also hey don't worry about it this is just to hear some feedback for my current one and suggestions for future ones and you've been extremely polite about it
