First build! (SUPER BUDGET!)

[okaneiba]

Hey guys! I have a list for my very first build. I completed it about 3 weeks ago.

 

Case - Antec Lifestyle solo (http://www.amazon.com/Antec-LifeStyle-Quiet-Mini-Tower-Piano/dp/B000FTTNIQ)

PSU - Seasonic 500W

Motherboard - Biostar TA970XE

CPU - AMD Phenom II Dual core (upgraded today to AMD FX - 6300 Six Core)

Cooling - CPU - Alpine 64 pro Rev. 2. Intake - a fan. Outflow - a bigger fan (they arent marked)
8GB of SUPER CHEAP left over ram from old towers that my work was throwing away. (because why not just throw it illegally into the trash?)
160 GB Seagate standard 3.5 HDD 
3 TB Western Digital 3.5 HDD (use as home storage server)
Zotac GTX 460 (30$ from craigslist )

 

Total cost runs at about 350$

 

Thoughts, suggestions, critiques? 

 

Yes. RAM will be upgraded.

Dafuq are you doing with a slow ass 160gb drive if youve got a 3tb one?

[okaneiba]

the 160 TB hard drive will be replaced by an SSD eventually. 3 TB is strictly household storage.

What kind of RAM is it? DDR3?

If you wanted an all new PC that could game fairly well, you could always run with an APU and throw in a dedicated GPU later

Around $350

Awesome, it will smoke my main gaming rig, A10 7850k, especially with the 6300!
