Well I built this Pc and I want some opinions on it.
(Would Like to know if it will run Arma 2 Day Z, Diablo 3 and BF3 with no probs.)


Processor: AMD FX-4100 CPU (4x 3.60GHz/4MB L2 Cache)

Memory: 4 GB [2 GB X2] DDR3-1600 Memory Module

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7850 - 2GB (Single)

Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 -- AMD 970

Power Supply: 800 Watt - Standard

If anyone has any suggestions it would be helpful TY.

wouldna get that gfx card or cpu.

...and why not?

He has the recipe for a pretty meaty gaming rig there.

All he needs to do is add some more RAM (as mentioned) and maybe consider a higher FX proc if he has the money, but really what he has should be just fine for gaming.

Hmm I can handle the extra $75 for a 6x Proc thanks a lot for the tip. :D
 
I actually would get a Phenom II 965 in lieu of the FX-4100. The 4100 is a pretty weak performer for gaming unless you overclock the hell out of it, and not a good compliment for a 7850.

800 watts is way more than you actually need, and I would advise you not to focus on wattage when choosing a PSU, there are other factors that far outweigh this, including, quality, brand reputation, and warranty. If you want a PSU good enough to crossfire a 2nd 7850 later on, then you might consider something like a Corsair TX650 or a 750.

But for a single 7850 setup, this would be sufficient:
