Hello everyone! It is my first time on this website and the first time I will try to create a gaming PC. I would like to hear from you guys if this is a good build or if I need to add/remove anything, or if you guys have a better build that is around this budget would also help me a lot :)!

I also want to know if this would be able to run new games good or if you guys have any Pc's that runs new/somewhat new games at around medium, high or ultra :)! (Skyrim,Fallout,watch dogs, Bioshock Infinite, Battlefield, etc)

 

And again. Thanks for taking the time to read this and help a newbie out!  ^_^

 

I also have A Keyboard, Mouse. If you guys know any good monitors and a windows to add on, that would be awesome.  :P

First, welcome to the forums. 

 

Second, "Advice would be nice" Tell me you planned that.

 

Third, the build looks great. Do you have a copy of windows?

There's a decent 99$ acer 23" floating around on partpicker

Also the build looks good the fx is fine or an i5 it pretty much boils down to what you want! And make a mental note that after this is built please consider an ssd for a future addon

Go for an i5 if you can. 

I think the 6300 will do him good considering he is already over his budget and needs a solid GPU to play the listed games.

This build looks good.

 

Just a note, the MSI 970A-G46 is a pretty low quality board.  It's essentially a G43 with a larger heatsink in an attempt to improve performance and reduce throttling.  If you ever do go with your build for some reason, pick a different board.  The Asus M5A97 R2.0 is a good board.  The Gigabyte GA-970A-Ud3P is also a good option.

Question. With that build I get that the case is a bit to small for the Video card and it may need some re-adjusting, and the case doesn't have USB 3.0 ports. Is that an issue? or should I find another case?

The graphics card fits just fine if you don't put hard drives where the card would be. 

Do you need front usb 3.0 ports?
