My first build - $750 build

[trungvo]

So this is my first build so I want to make it a budget build and then upgrade it later. I build this one for gaming and everyday uses like web browsing, watching youtube, maybe streaming....

The main parts are cpu and gpu, I chose the AMD FX-8350 and the Sapphire vapor-x tri-x R9 280x. I want to play games and keep some apps running in the background like chrome and music player. I'm playing League of legends (I want to max out the setting) and planning to play some others game such as CoD, witcher 3, battlefield at 1080p.

I already ordered all the parts but I want to heard from you guys I tell me what do you think about the build and your recommendation so I can learn more and upgrade it later.

Here is the parts that I chose: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7d8fBm

Next time I would ask the forum before buying parts. Most people here would NOT recommend AMD CPUs. Oh well, it's too late and that will perform decently in games.

It isn't a bad build, but I would have gone with Intel, and probably a different power supply.

Marked   

so I just want to keep the price as low as possible, If I take out the keyboard and mice, it's actually only $700 or $655 after rebate (I didnt have to pay for shipping), I said $750 because I just want to put it in a rounded price point. My budget was actually $800 and I also need to buy monitor (I'm borrowing my cousin's old monitor) 

@Chugle 's intel build looks very nice but I wont have enough $ for a monitor and I dont know why I didnt see the R380 and bought the r9 280x at the almost same price l :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
