I need Build advice?

[Lelong21]

I need some advice on what should I add or if I should go for something better, the build is for gaming but not High-end gaming, I would just like to be able to run the games stable on medium graphics. So far my build is...

Thermaltake V4 Black Edition Case with 500W USB3.0 $79.00

Gigabyte KM5000R Keyboard and Mouse Set $14.00

AMD FX-6300 6 Core Black Edition Processor $142.00

Sapphire Radeon HD6670 2GB $79.00

ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 Motherboard $69.00

Western Digital WD Blue WD7500BPVX 750GB $69.00

G.Skill F3-10600CL9D-8GBNT (2x4GB) DDR3 $82.00

Total cost: $534.00

What do I need to add and change? Note that I don't want to spend to much money.

I pretty much did an overhaul on your part selection because most of those parts wouldn't last you more than a year and a half.

The motherboard here has more features and newer technology so it will last you longer.

The memory was too slow so I replaced that and kept you with the two 4GB sticks to help you take advantage of the dual channel memory on your motherboard.

If you want your computer to play games well with an HDD you need a 7200RPM drive so that load times are reduced.

The 6670 architecture is old and weak so I upgraded your video card to a more modern card so that you can keep up with current games and it also has Crossfire support.

I got you a full tower case because air flow in a gaming computer is VERY important. If you have a bigger case you can put in more parts without affect the airflow.

You didn't have a power supply at all in your first build so I gave you a Tier 1 power supply that will give you plenty of power for future upgrades.

Hopefully this isn't over your budget, but it is the best I could do mixing quality parts with a tight budget.

Okay so this is what I can do for that price. Things are a bit more expensive in Australia so you are going to have to build a PC that you can upgrade over time (that's what I'm doing). As you earn the money you put in better parts. I gave you a CPU socket, motherboard, and case to do that with. You won't be able to run all games at ultra settings, but this will be able to keep up at medium/high settings.

By the way what will I need to upgrade for better performance?

In the following order:

Video Card (to a GeForce GTX 760/Radeon 7970)

RAM (just get more than 4 GB)

CPU (maybe to an FX 6300 or even an FX 8350)
