Any thoughts for this?
Trying to use it for gaming and running high end games like Fallout 4.

Chugalug_ · Aug 23, 2016

Many better options, some very poor component choices in there, i'm afraid in that budget a colour scheme isn't going to be optimal.
What is your budget? 600?
Any reason there is no HDD?

$700 Canadian.

What do you think about this?

And what components do you think are bad?

This will serve you much better for games. If you could stretch your budget a few hundred $, that would be ideal.

Note that you don't have an SSD or HDD

Here is your build, i'm not sure if you wanted a hard drive included in the budget, get back to me on this.

Yup, probably the best performance you're going to get in that price range imo.

turkey3_scratch · Aug 23, 2016

Change the XFX XT to a Corsair CXM and then it's really good!

turkey3_scratch :

The new CXM is very marginally better, and costs more than the XT anyway.
I would still recommend the XFX XT at this point.

turkey3_scratch · Aug 24, 2016

You've got to be kidding me, the XFX XT hasn't even been reviewed and you're going to tell me it's only "marginally" better? Recommending the XT instead is just silly. It has been torn down and is cheaply made.

Chugalug_ · Aug 24, 2016

Isn't it based on the Seasonic GB Bronze platform?

turkey3_scratch · Aug 24, 2016

It's based on the Hydrannce CT.

Chugalug_ · Aug 24, 2016

Ooof, okay my bad.
Thanks for pointing that out, helps a tonne.

Final build, get this OP.

turkey3_scratch · Aug 27, 2016

Also the CX550M is much cheaper on Newegg FYI.
