Planning a budget build

[Totally-A-Hero]

So i am gathering more and more money buy the day doing odd jobs for my neighbors and stuff (im 14 and this is my source of income) and i am nearing the point were i can start building my computer.Before i did i wanted to see if someone with more experience had better thoughts or something so here is my current plan.

You dont need that much case fan, and how about changing to a R9 280x (or 770?) with those extra money then?

All seems good to me, however I wouldn't recommend that PSU it seems a bit cheap, and pretty much everyone that has had a cheap off-brand PSU has encountered problems of some sort, try and search for Corsair or fractal designs ones, something with a well known name behind it that you can rely on if there is any issues.

Save up more and get an 840 evo and a 280 or 770

My budget is around $1000 and i plan on playing modern titles such as battlefield,on 1 1180p monitor.The reason i am upgrading is so i can play games and do school work.

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

so...

[Totally-A-Hero]

I definatley agree that a intel build would be optimal but im not sure that i can afford the extra cost,so i might have to just go with the amd build,i will see about the 770 but right now im getting a preety good deal on a 7950 that i can crossfire with a 280x in the future.And for what im doing (mainly gaming) is it really necassary to go with intel?

if the 7950 makes the intel build fits your budget, even if need to cut down on a few stuff, go for it, but i suggest you be patient and make some more and get the hole thing without Cutting Down on any thing,

-good luck either ways mate
