Nice try for your first build, but get this since it saves money and has better performance:

Also you are missing a lot of things... case, PSU, optical drive, Windows OS

 

[pugsofwrath]

I din't think those would matter if I didn't include them. Would you like to see them?

 

[pugsofwrath]

One more thing. Can the AMD FX 6300 run DDR3 2400?

And yes it can run under 2400

I'll see what I can do for that build, I think I can find some better parts

Also why do you choose windows 8 and not 7?

 

[RazerZ]

Here's a quality build which is a lot better for gaming than your current build. It's also really quiet too.

My reasoning for Windows 8 was that if more game makers begin to make games for Windows 8, I would not have to upgrade in the future.

One more thing. Are all these sites legitimate? I just want to make sure.

Lol yep, they are the top site for pc parts. Also I strongly suggest to get windows 7 because windows 8 is just a copy of it with a really weird interface and no start menu. I would only get 8 if you were using a touchscreen monitor.

Thanks! If you care, I'll check back in with you when I build this.

How do I do that? (I'm sorry, this is the first time I've done this)

I was looking at this graphics card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121642
An i think I will stick with the Rosewill case.

Well its ok, but if you can raise your budget get the card I put in so then you can play the latest games such as BF4.

Also that case isn't that great for the price, I would suggest you get this one as it has amazing air flow, and has lots of space

I think I can. Thank you for all the advice. I'll check back with you in about a week or 2 and tell you how it went. One last thing. How do I select a post as the solution?

I will have to find a cheaper video card. I just can't squeeze into my budget.
I also can not find the button saying "pick as solution"

Whats your budget?

 

[pugsofwrath]

Preferably under 200, about 180. For the graphics card, that is.

My friend found this for me. What do you think of the graphics card?

Well it's ok but for $40 more highly suggest to get this card. The reason is because it will last you longer and has better gaming performance. It was officially recommended by BF4 to have a GPU of 3GB, hence the HD 7950 series. Plus you also get 3 free games with it.
