This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Hi there BerendBoss,

It is a good build, but I think the one suggested by @themaniac is better. You can take a look at this comparison of the CPUs http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-G3258-vs-AMD-Athlon-X4-760K . The SSD could really help you speed up loading times, but shouldn't affect your gaming performance directly. The Radeon R9 280 is newer, has more memory, slightly faster.. However, it consumes more energy.

Hope this helps,

Titania_WD
