Im living in alaska so the shipping and all that jaz gets pretty expensive but i dont mind. The toatal is 700 USD everything together comes up to about 660 USD.

Im willing to go a little above to get some substantial gaming improvements.

 

To begin

CPU- A10 6800K

GPU- MSI GAMING R9 270

MB- ASROCK FM2A88X BTC

RAM- TEAM VULCAN 8GB [X2 DGB] 2133

CASE- ANTEC GX500

PSU- RAIDMAX RX-535AP (535W)

if you getting a GPU

 

grab the Athlon 760K instead and 1600MHz RAMs

 

junk that PSU and take some bigger brand like Corsair, CoolerMaster or Seasonic for example

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Don't get an APU if you're buying a graphics card. Buy 1600 MHz RAM.

 

CPU- Athlon x4 760k
GPU- MSI GAMING R9 270
MB- ASROCK FM2A88X BTC
RAM- HyperX Fury 1600 MHz

CASE- ANTEC GX500
PSU- Corsair CX500 (Or something like that)
HD- SAMSUNG 840 EVO/PRO or Intel SSD of whatever capacity

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

good build but there is a problem

 

that GPU needs a 8pin and 6 pin plug

 

the PSU only has one 8 pin

Ah good shout, you can always use a molex to 6pin

But I will update the build with a better PSU

yea but I will not suggest using molex to 6 pin too

 

they have been known to melt and catch fire 

 

did that once with a GTX280

 

big mistake when i smell something burning and i just force shut down and open up the case to see the molex became deformed
