Ok so I am am going to build a new PC actually gaming pc one budget gaming pc which can hopefuly run new games on medium (without lowering video settings)at 1080p and old ones at high at least.So this is maybe what is going to be:

AMD Athlon II X4 760k

Nvidia GTX650 2GB GDDR5

ASRock FM2A88M Extreme 4+ FM2+ socket

4GB Single Channel at the begining and 8GB Dual Channel later 1333MHz RAM

Wester Digital Caviar Blue 1TB at first and later in the far future an SSD

and I have no idea what PSU to use soo I need an advice and is this AMD+nVidia going to work fine ? Or should i go with R7 260X (personally I prefer nvidia) I am planning to change it after a year or two ? And it is not only gaming pc,I will use it for programming and light video editing.

Soo.. help :D

What's your budget and location. Do you need OS and peripherals/monitor?

You're not going to be able to do much video editing with an athlon unfortunately. The 650ti boost is a better option as it is quite a bit better for the price. You shouldn't run into problems with those components, but i highly suggest you get a faster cpu since gaming is not the only purpose.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I'm from Bulgaria with budget of 800BGN wich is 400$ (less is better) I have OS and peripherials/monitor and case.

Well this is for mostly gaming and programming and very very light video editing (cut here and there drop some music and stuff like that)And this is for 1-2 years to have a good pc to do the job until i got something like core i7 and better GTX.

Then I guess the athlon is fine, but if you don't want the 650ti boost then you should go with the 260x, it's the better card.

They both are 2GB GDDR5 but in my country Ti boost is more expensive and I don't want to spend any cent more from what I need because it is just to have a stable pc for year or two .So what about the PSU?
