Hi everyone, I currently have an old laptop and looking to upgrade to a gaming pc. I'm a highschool student with a job so budget is big for me. Looking to spend under 800$. I've done a little research and came up with this build. Although, the one problem with this build is that it is over budget. If this is a good build then I'll save up a little extra money and build this, but if there are any places where I'm spending too much money I'd love to know!

Here is my build.

GPU: SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100363VX-3L Radeon R9 280X 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support TRI-X STD WITH BOOST (UEFI) Video Card

CPU: AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition

Power Supply: EVGA 600B 80PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V/EPS12V Active PFC 600W Power Supply 100-B1-0600-KR

RAM: ADATA XPG V2 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model AX3U1866W4G10-DGV

SSD: Corsair Force Series LS 120GB 2.5-Inch SATA III MLC 7mm Internal Solid State Drive CSSD-F120GBLS

Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Cooling: DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX S40 CPU Cooler 4 Heatpipes 120mm PWM Fan Compact Heatsink Small size fit in slim cases

Disc Drive: HITACHI 0F10452 2.0TB SATA 3.0Gb/s 7200 RPM 32MB Buffer Hard Drive Bulk

Mouse: EC Technology® 4000 DPI Gaming Mouse Colorful Breathing Light 5 Programmable Buttons Macro Definition Ergonomic Omron Micro Switches Braided Wire

Keyboard: V7 Standard PS/2 Keyboard (KC0A2-4N6P)

Monitor: ASUS VS228H-P 21.5-Inch Full-HD 5ms LED-Lit LCD Monitor

The mouse and the keyboard are going to be upgraded later. No sense on spending a bunch on them now, in my opinion.

Thanks,

Brett
