Hello.
I was thinking to make myself a new gaming configuration. The only thing I want to keep from my actual configuration is the
Gainward Nvidia Geforce gt 630 1gb ddr5 128bit.

The new gaming config I was thinking about is:
CPU: Intel Core i3 4340 3.6GHz box
MB: ASRock H87 PRO4 Socket 1150
HDD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5 inch Basic SATA Solid State Drive
RAM: Kingston 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM HyperX Blu
Source: Super Flower SF-550K12XP, 550W, Modular, Active PFC

I am also considering:
MB: Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3, Socket 1150
RAM: Dual Channel Kit Corsair 8GB (2 x 4GB), DDR3, 1600MHz,

and why not an
AMD FX 8320, 3500MHz, 16MB, socket AM3+, Box instead of that i3 even if this means to change the entire configuration.

Could you please advise me if I should choose another components (at the same price)? I don't know how reliable is that Samsung SSD or if the Amd would be better for gaming. Should I choose another memory? Could you please recommend me a better configuration in the same money amount?

Thanks a lot

What's your budget? Definitely go for the FX 8320 instead of the i3 and pair it with an Asrock Extreme3 990 motherboard or even the Asrock 970 Extreme 3. A piece of advice, if your deciding to do a lot of gaming, get a new video card. The GT630 is terrible at gaming, get something like the r7 250x or try to get a GTX 650. To power the system, get a quality 500W power supply, something from Antec, Corsair, Coolermaster or Seasonic.
