Can someone check this build?

[badmanbman]

First time posting on the forum, sorry if I'm in the wrong category.

I am also doing a first time build and would like to ask for some enthusiasts to give me some insight on if it's good or not.

Here's the link:

Note: I might switch out the 960 for a 770 my friend is selling me for 100 dollars.

Get an i3 4170 instead of an fx 6300, except if you are rendering.

Get a 770 or r9 380(x) instead of a 960, both are more powerful.

Really enjoying all the help but I'm trying to stay under a 500 dollar budget and would like a nvidia gpu for shadow play.

Are you sure the CPU won't bottleneck?

[ThinkWithPortals]

Are you sure the CPU won't bottleneck?

Shouldn't do.

An upgrade to an i5-4460 down the road would be good though.

[Lotus]

Assuming you don't need an HDD or SSD since your original build didn't include one, you can do this:

I would recommend you to get a 500W or plus power supply, just in case you want to upgrade you graphics or run SLI.

A friend of mine said taking the 760 to that 380 price to performance would be better.

[Lotus]

The 380 performs better than the 960, and it's also cheaper. The price/performance ratio is VASTLY in the 380's favor right now.

Did you not want an SSD or a HDD

[don_svetlio]

take it if it's in good condition and get an i5 4460 - no sense in the FX

[badmanbman]

I already have a couple HDD's with windows.

[badmanbman]

Let me check it.

[don_svetlio]

Let me check it.

i5 4460 is quite a bit more powerful - you have enough room in the budget - just check the build I posted and get that board and PSU
