350$ PC Build Help.

[RagingMan]

So i finally decided to build a PC, i already have the ram, a 350 watt power supply, the hard drive, OS, monitor, mouse, keyboard, an optical drive and even an xbox 360 controller, so i wouldn't mind help for the parts i need with my low budget.

 

I was thinking of something like this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Idaj

 

Should i instead get something like a Radeon R7 265 or a GTX 750 TI for lower wattage? Perhaps there are parts with better value?

 

My monitor also has a resolution of 1440x900 and only a vga port. I really wanted to get a better one but i was thinking on using this one till i get the money.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

Go with it, it's great.

It's perfect for your setup. You don't need a Radeon 7850 unless you're planning to run your games at a higher resolution (1080p).

I would spend $5 more and get a motherboard with a better chipset because that one doesnt have USB 3. I dont know over the years if I will want to use usb 3 and would hate myself if I let $5 stop me from using it. motherboard

Thank you, changed it

The 7850 is a little better, but the 750 Ti will perfectly fine for that resolution and any 1080p gaming.

What's the system being used for?

[dev893]

that seems like a good build for the money personally though I would go with a case that allows for a 120mm fan in the rear and a bottom mounted power supply but for the cost that seems like a good case

Mainly gaming and internet browsing.

Wait, isn't that Power Supply just regular ATX? Will it really work with the other parts?

Yeah--What's wrong with atx?

Yes, it'll work just fine.

I remember i had a problem with a Power Supply because it was regular ATX and wasn't compatible with the motherboard, but i guess i can trust you, and PCPartPicker doesn't mention incompatibility.

 

I actually found that exact same Power Supply laying around the house, i never resold it, that definetly helps, i updated the list again to go with my needs. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3HMdV .

 

But i was thinking maybe the 350 watt power supply won't be enough, should i keep the r7 265/gtx 750 ti and upgrade something else?

[RagingMan]

I hope bumping isn't against the rules.

If you really want the best bang for your buck, get the R7 265.  Also someone mentioned getting a better motherboard, and that would be good too, since your whole computer really is built all around it.  That build does look very good, it should run just about any game on at least high settings!
