800$ Gaming Build

[fababaa]

Hi!

So, I've been doing my research about computer building and came up with this. I'd like to get your opinion (is there something I should change or do you have a better build for the same price).

Also, if you know a website that sells pc components and ships internationally, I'd like to know.

(Sorry if you see any grammar mistakes, I'm portuguese)

NOTES:

• I went with an AMD CPU because it's quite cheap and I people say it's good, but if you have a better option, I'd like to know
• I chose a red/black theme, and I'd like to keep with it
• Does this build run Battlefield 4 and games like that on Ultra Settings smoothly?

By the way, feel free to post your build if it's around the same price.

Thanks for the help!

 

UPDATE: I'm trying to get the cheapest, so I'm wondering if I should get a FX-6300 or I should stay with the FX-8320

Looks good.

A ssd would be nice but it is not a must, Im not using a ssd and im fine with it.
It is a good gaming build, Superfast loading speeds is not essential.


You are the best at knowing what you need in your build.

I think you should Go for it.

I think it can run battlefield 4 at ultra but dont take my word for it, Im not that good at knowing framerates for different setups.

About the SSD, I think I'll get a 240GB one later, but, as you said, it's not a must so I can wait on that.

I sacrificed aftermarked CPU cooler for SSD but it is up to you on what you decide.. either way it will fit your budget.

It might be a bit tricky to move windows to the SSD when you upgrade,

You have found the parts for your PC so you probably wont have any problems figuring out how to do it.

If you run into any problems Simpy come back here to LTT and ask.

I like this and I might actually do what you did so I can get the SSD, I just don't know if the stock cooler will do the job correctly. 

Thanks for the help

No problem . You will be OK with stock cooler as long as you wont overclock.

It is easier in my opinion to get aftermarket cooler later than SSD because with SSD you have to move your Windows and programs to it which is a lot of work while with cooler you just swap it and you are good to go.

I want to overclock but only in the future, so I guess the stock cooler is good for now. Once again, thanks.

Well.. So much for The Red/Black Theme..  B)

It is a nice performer but it lacks The Red/Black colour Theme.

Yea, but as long as the case has no windows it doesent matter. He wants it for games not showing off.

If I can get a better build I don't mind giving up on the Red/Black color theme
