This is my first time building a computer and I was hoping I'd get some feed back on my parts choices.
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core
CPU cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 45.0 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing
Mobo: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+
RAM: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133
Hard drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Video card: MSI Radeon R7 260X 2GB Video Card
Power supply: Corsair 750W ATX12V
Below is more info on what I want from the computer and more info about the project
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mostly gaming, I don't want a super high quality system, just enough to run games at mid easily
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$600 with tax and shipping
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
US, Florida, Port Saint Lucie
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
CPU, RAM, Mobo, hard drive, video card, power supply, and preferably a cpu cooler
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
An old monitor until I save enough to upgrade, I'm getting a tower from a friend and I don't know the make or model
6) Will you be overclocking?
If possible yes, if not then i won't sweat it right now
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
I have no clue, I may just use a hdmi to make my tv the monitor.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
as soon as I get the money, eta 3-4 weeks
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
Preferably crossfire support and SATA 6Gb/s
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Yes, i have 64 bit windows 7 home.
