FIRST PC BUILD! PLEASE HELP!

[Danweldore]

Hey guys, I am Dan and I am new on the Linus forum. I will be building my new PC soon, and I really need some help/suggestions about the components I have chosen.

 

My maximum budget is €860, Including monitor, excluding operating system.

Due to this budget, I wanna have the BEST BANG FOR MY BUCK.

You guys are very experienced, so please let me know what you think of these components:

 

EDIT: I will mainly be using my computer to play Minecraft and some other low-demanding games.

 

CPU: AMD FX-8350
Graphics: Sapphire Radeon R9 270 Dual-X (2GB)
Hard Drive: Seagate 2TB
RAM: Corsair Value Select 1600-8GB
Case: Cooler Master Storm Enforcer (Windowed)
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA 970A UD3P, AM3+
Power Supply: Cooler Master B600 (600W)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO
Fans: 2 x Cooler Master Silent Fan SI1
DVD: Samsung SH-224DB
Monitor: BenQ 24" 2ms

 

What is good and what should improve? Let me know.

Dan

 

 

PS: If you want, you can add me on skype, which would help me very much! username: jos.millenaar

don't fall for that gaming monitor stuff that companies market. Get a decent ips panel because I can tell you from experience, those monitors are much better

Get the FX 8320 and overcloock it. The 8350 is just an overclocked 8320 and so is a waste of money. Also, I would move down to a 1TB HDD, and put in an SSD - this is one of the things that makes your PC feel much faster.

I believe I have the monitor you have and I can say it works, but the colors are not amazing.

You should also follow @matt101 's advice, seem reasonable. (If you are okay with overclocking).

2 TB is overkill IMHO. Go with an SSD and HDD. Or just with an 1 TB HDD and add an SSD (256 GB preferably) later.

Alright, thanks guys.

 

However I wont be changing the CPU, and I wont overclock it either.

 

Changing the monitor is also not an option, as this one just about fits in my budget.

 

I am going to change my initial 2TB to a 1TB, and once I have enough money, I will upgrade by adding a SSD.

This post is just to bump the thread, I'd love to get more advice.
