To be frank, I just want to know if y’all think I have a good little system, this is my rig:
CPU: Fx 6300 (I’m waiting for the ridicule)
CPU cooler: hyper 212 evil
Motherboard: gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
GPU: GTX 1050 2gb zotac mini
PSU: EVGA 500w
Ram: 8 gigs of Corsair vengeance
Drives: caviar blue 320gb, caviar blue 250gb, toshiba (got it off a laptop for back up storage) 100gb
Case: thermaltake versa n21

Lemme know what you guys think and any Improvements you think I should do, i don’t play as many games as I used to but get 60fps smooth on gta 5 on high settings, just looking for some feedback though :)

Yes, pick up something like a Ryzen 1200, B350 series board, 8gb of ddr4 3000 or 3200 if you can, rebuild it. Grab a 120gb ssd for about 50-60 for a boot drive, then a 1-2tb for a data storage drive to store programs etc on. Overclock the 1200, and save for a better gpu in the next year or so.

I recently sold my FX 6300 on ebay for just over 40 bucks, the 8gb gskill ram kit I got about 35ish for. So a little money can be gotten.


Except for your cpu being ancient (in computer terms) all is fine except maybe for the random mes of hdd's :p.

It's Hyper 212 Evo, but it made me laugh so it's all good. If you really want an AMD CPU, go for a Ryzen. In addition, unless you want a million hard drives that perform like pretty much crap, go get a 1-2 Terabyte(s) 7200rpm hard drive, and get even the cheapest SSD you can find on Amazon (exaggerating, don't buy the cheapest, but you don't need a 3 terabytes SSD for absolutely no reason. So take this with a grain of salt). The GTX 1050 is good considering you don't want to play on 4K 60 FPS. Just GTA 5 on (probably) 1080p. For GTA though, I would consider getting more VRAM, but that's completely up to you.
