Is this a good first build?

[shantorian]

I wanted to know if this is a good build and if i might encounter any problems in building and any bottle necking.

here is a link to my build: http://

If you have any edits please let me know, and keep it under $770 dollars.

Half your budget is in the GPU, and with a small budget, that limits you.

first, you'd want 2x4gb sticks of ram to have dual channel.

that motherboard uses the 780 chipset, not AMD's best IMO. 970 or 990fx are way better.

6300 is ok, but I'd like to see a 8320 and a hyper evo 212 for way better performance and future use.

Maybe drop down your video card to a 760 and you could have a better system rather than a heavy gpu system with a meh cpu, meh mb, etc.

i would prefer to stay with a gtx 770.
know any ram for under $80 dollars?

Better mobo, dual channel RAM, case with front USB 3.0, better PSU, and changed GPU to 280x. Similar performance GPU for less money, unless you're dead set on nVidia.

For both builds though, you need to remove the HDD cage to fit the GPU. I would suggest looking for a bigger case or one with HDD cages that can be partially removed.

Changed a few things which you may like to consider -

1) Case is too small for graphics card unless you removed drive bay or two, so changed that. Also it just wouldn't look nice and and cable management would be made harder.
2) Changed gpu to r9 280x as you get the same performance as a gtx 770 but 50 dollars cheaper. Change it back if the 770 if you would prefer that card.
3) Dual channel ram is better than single so you will want 2x4gb rather than 1x8gb.
4) With extra money I replaced the mobo with a better one.

does the r9 280x have any driver problems? and will it be able to run unreal engine 4 since i will be doing some game design
