Hey everyone. In a few months time, I am planning on building my first Budget Gaming PC, and these are all of the components I am planning to use. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions if there is any component you think I should replace with something else. Please bear in mind that i'm planning not go any higher than $600+ as this is just a budget build.

Motherboard (Gigabyte GA-990X-Gaming SLI Socket AM3+ ATX) - http://amzn.to/2jM1tf8

Processor (AMD FX-8320E Black Edition 8 Core CPU) - http://amzn.to/2jMa7KS

GPU (Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1050Ti WF2 OC 4GB GDDR5) - http://amzn.to/2jKFmWk

Power Supply (Corsair CP-9020096-UK VS Series VS450 ATX/EPS 80 PLUS 450W Power Supply Unit) - http://amzn.to/2j84Wns

I'll also be having 16GB of DDR3 RAM, along with a 1TB WD HDD, both of which are in my current PC. I was also wondering whether the Processor will bottleneck the GPU or not.

 
Solution
taking the numbers in consideration. I suggest getting off the elderly AMD bandwagon, and move to Intel
