So i have a max of around $530 and i am looking for a decent AMD build (let the hate begin xD). I have created a build on pcpartpick and i was wondering if you guys could look it over and help me get the best system out of my budget. Heres the build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/SoloTurkey/saved/GPR9TW

You could have a cheaper psu and some cheaper ram by 10$ and get an ssd in there as well as a 1tb hdd. Idk what storage u have 

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

Why an athlon. His build would outperform that one.

 

You should also NEVER use bundled power supplies.

 

It's a ThermalTake, so it's at least slightly trustworthy... Also, the 860K is substittuted so he can get a better GPU.

Or he could go with a better CPU with more performance, and maybe if he could, save up about $40 more to get the 290 to have mantle with the APU for added benefits. Even then his current build is 100% good to go.

If you can afford it get an SSD or wait and save for one. They're worth it. I bought a 500 gig one and I kind of regret it because I have almost nothing on it. So get a 128gb just to put your OS on and get a 2TB HDD for everything else.

Honestly, I'm not really a budget build kind of guy... So I'm pretty useless in these threads. I agree with you.

The r9 290 is going to get heavily bottlenecked by the athlon.
