Hey, this is my first post, building my first Gaming PC. I have a parts list set, but not finalized, if you have recommendations please let me know. Only aim for this rig is gaming on a single, 1080p Monitor. Prices are in USD. Budget doesn't include price of monitor or peripherals
Budget: $900
CPU: AMD FD6350FRHKBOX FX-6350 6-Core Black Edition ($139.99)
Case: Rosewill Micro-ATX Mini Tower Computer Case ($49.99)
Graphics Card: ASUS Graphics Cards R9 290-DC2OC-4GD5 ($399.99)
RAM: G.skill RipjawsX 8GB (4GB x 2) DDR3-1866 RAM ($79.98)
Motherboard: MSI Socket AM3+/AMD 760G/DDR3/CrossFireX/SATA3 and USB 3.0/A&GbE/MicroATX Motherboard 760GMA-P34 (FX) ($73.65)
Hard Drive: WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM ($59.24)
Power Supply: Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS (CX600) ($66.24)
Will the PCI 2.0 slot on the Motherboard will be a problem with the PCI 3.0 enabled GPU? If so can you reccomend a different board?
My current PC is running windows 7 and I'm unsure about installing windows 8.1 on the new rig
