Finishing Parts
Last response: in Systems
I need some help with finishing off my computer. I bought all the parts that I think I'll need already like the power supply, cd drive, hard drive, and case.
I know i'm suppose to start with the CPU, GPU and MOBO but those were the hardest to pick. (ram is 8gb DDR3, I want MOBO to match please![:D]( ":D")
)
I have a budget of around 350 dollars to make a decent/great gaming computer that will run most games in medium to high quality.
So far I have:
CPU AMD FX-4100 3.6GHz Quad-Core
Motherboard MSI 760GM-P34(FX) Micro ATX AM3+
Memory Patriot Intel Extreme Master, Limited Ed 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 (This one doesn't really matter, I've decided to go with an 8GB)
Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB
Now my question is... Is this GPU the best I can get with the other 3 items? or is there another GPU that's better but a little more expensive for its performance. The CPU right now is around $105, MOBO around $60. Memory around $40. So what should I do?
and will this configuration work? Are they all compatible? I don't know how to check if they are... I'm new at this
Thank you for reading all of this

Do this. It has a much better GPU. Get an HD 7850 if you can swing $10 out of budget as it will be even better. it will get you medium/high settings in most games.
