Is this budget (work in progress) PC build good?

Niimpi · Sep 28, 2016

I'm a beginner in choosing my PC parts and I'm not sure if this is compatible or if I should take note of anything. I'm also wondering if this is good for the value or if there's a build that's better.

Do you just make a pc build on the spot or have a part list prepared for questions like this? just curious

I can slap them together pretty quick. I took your link, removed the OLD weak FX6300, motherboard , and RAM, and then added the i3, motherboard, and DDR4. Next, I had to get rid of that case with the 500w psu because that psu is total garbage. Lastly, I had a lot more money to work with after those changes so I selected the best video card I could fit with the remaining budget.

This is a few more dollars expensive but is it all compatible? Are there slots for the power supply?

That psu is much worse than the one I selected. MUCH worse. Avoid.

Why is that

The Antec HCG 520w is a very reliable psu.
The Corsair CX430 is a very unreliable psu.
