before other people say it -

Change CPU (AM3+ is dead) and change GPU to the R9 380.

Also, I don't know about that PSU.

This build is full of No's?

I'll make a better one.

 

Is this a gaming computer?

 

No, Get an i3 or a low i5

No, Get a LGA 1150 Mobo with a H97 chipset

No, Get a 285 or 280

I don't know the price or the look of that case.

What is the price of the ram? is it dual channel or single channel?

Nope, that HDD is nasty, get a 7200RPM 64MB cache drive.

I don't know.

 

 

What is your budget and your country!

honestly get the fx 6300 . I wouldn't recomment an i3 for gaming , unless you're playing older games.

If you were planning on getting an fx 8350 , i would've said get an i5 but nothing can beat the 6300 price/performance even though it's getting quite old.

Maybe try to find a used i5 like a 3570k on ebay.

the g3258 is unfortunately starting to be too weak for newer games (far cry 4, gta 5)

AMD Ryzen R7 1700 (3.8ghz) w/ NH-D14, EVGA RTX 2080 XC (stock), 4*4GB DDR4 3000MT/s RAM, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3 MB, CX750M PSU, 1.5TB SDD + 7TB HDD, Phanteks enthoo pro case
