Hey im in the prosess of putting together my first build. i have every thing mostly set now, thank you to @xSpaceSheepy1 for helping me get a good CPU. But i want to know what is a good GPU that i can put in my system.

CPU- AMD FX-6300

COOLER- Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2

MB- Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Micro ATX

RAM- G.Skill ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1333

CASE- NZXT Phantom 240 ATX MiD

PSU- CoolMax 600W 80+ Bronze

FAN- NZXT FN-120RB 47.3 CFM 120mm Fan

GPU- MSI Radeon R9 270 2GB TWIN FROZR

Im just wondering if the GPU is any good. The only problem i have right now is that its a little out of my price range. In total this is costing $468. SLightly out side of my budget of $400 (me being a broke ass collage student).

If anyone has a GPU that tey can recommend to me thats both cheep and hase some power behind it. Also if their are any suggetsions in cutting costs somewhere.

Thanks guys!!!!

Can you post what your actually doing with this machine? Gaming I assume, I also assume 1080P? Are you doing anything else with it? Total budget for the build is $400, is that USD?

@Eniqmatic yah im looking to play games at 1080p with hopefully 60fps (although this being my first ever build FPS doent matter that much). And yes its around $400 USD though i can go a little over if i need too. I would like to have it go a little cheeper.

How much did you find the PSU for? Swap it for a Corsair CX500 or similar.

@Eniqmatic idk i can get the PSU for $30 USD but id gladly go cheeper. Idk how many WATTs i need lol

In that case the Corsair one is actually more expensive but trust me, don't go cheap on PSU's. Go with a well known brand.
