You NEED to change that PSU. It is for very basic builds and has been known to start fires and destroy your PC.

 

Get a Seasonic or XFX

[Pizzatime6]

Go intel or go home..../my two cents.

[Felipe15]

Will either seasonic or xfx 850 Watt would be ok

Not sure if this is within your budget but I just picked one of these up and its been pretty good so far

Yeah that will be fine, just check the amp rating to ensure that it will support the GPU (it most likely will but always worth double checking).

 

Have you thought about a 290? might save you a bit of cash if your not planning on going 4K

[XDfuzion]

Windows Vista Home Premium 

AMD Athlon 64x2 5200+

2.00GB of DDR2 

VisionTek Radeon HD 2400 Pro AGP 

[c_marriott]

Also, take it from a guy who has an AM3+ CPU, you will want to upgrade it to an Intel sooner or later so if I were you I'd get an Intel CPU of similar price.

 

AMD are all good but there is no where to go from there

Yeah that's good I was picking the 390 since it was a good price. 1080 I think is still very good resolution

Go intel.

Yeah I'll choose a different gpu so I can be within my budget.

[Felipe15]

Go intel.

Is intel much better? I been looking around and I believe I get more value out of an amd or am I wrong

What's the best intel cpu under $200??

[c_marriott]

What's the best intel cpu under $200??

 

Probably the i5-4460, as long as you don't want to OC

[Felipe15]

Yeah I don't plan on over clocking my first pc.i want something I can have for long time and in the long run upgrade some components in the future

[c_marriott]

Defintely that 4460 then, unless you want to wait for Skylake but from what I know its not worth the price difference

Will the i5 4690k be better if I up my budget for that cpu??

[rtpb5642]

Ur wrong get the cheapest H97 motherboard and a i5 4460 and u will game way better

There's not a big difference in performance, only real difference is the ability to oc

Ok. Any other advise you have that I can use?
