My Build

[jingg1]

Hey guys, I'm going to build my own pc and I was just wondering if it will work fine with these settings.
I'm using it to be able to play the newest game with medium/high graphic qualities and a little bit for video editing.



[HDD] Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 500GB € 55,10
[DVD] LG GH24NS90 Black € 14,57
[Case] Antec One € 45
[CPU] AMD FX-8150 Watercooling Black Edition(8x 3.6ghz) € 234
[PSU] Corsair Builder CX500 V2(80% bronze) € 49,50
[RAM] Corsair Vengeance (2x4GB) € 36,05
[MOBO] Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 € 62,80
[GPU] XFX HD 6870 1024 MB DDR5 Dual Fan € 145,50
[Monitor] res 1920x1080

With that build, whilst PSU is sort of adequate, I would be tempted to go up to 550w, to allow a "bit of room", if you're going to overclock. My other slight thought is, why AMD. You could get a much better Intel i5-3570K, for less than that fx. Admittedly, it would then be a shame to match it with a cheepie motherboard, so it would end up costing you a bit more, but would be so much better.

Extrapolating on that - pretty much even the lowest end Intel CPUs completely destroy the FX-8150, it's not a good investment right now.

If I knew the budget and what store you're buying from that will help to suggest a system. If you don't know of any stores check the link in my signature.
