First PC build

[Magnus]

Hi this is my first time building a PC.

Will these specs be able to handle most games at 1080p on max settings with decent fps?

MSI 970A-G43

Do I need a sound card?

with that r9 290 you shouldn't ever dip below 60 fps

Get that POS board out of there, it's known for HIGH VRM FAILURE.

around here fx 4350 cost as much as i3 4160 which, depending on what you play, might be a lot better

Magnus go to the Agros website before they change it and order a case also save a copy of the webpage there is a typo if its still there by the time you read this that allowed me to get a 750w psu free with my case. Had to phone customer services but hey thats £67 I now dont have to spend.

 

Now it was perfectly legal for me as I was under the honest impression it was included but if you know before hand its a slight legal grey area.

Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P is this any good

i am going to buy new pc myself next week and i am going with i3 4160

really tried to make myself to like FX 8320 but it seems theres just too many games that require high single core performance and when you count pretty much mandatory overclocking, power consumption and need of expensive motherboard there's just no reason to bother with it for gaming in my opinion
