Use PC Part Picker

You can opt for a r9 380 for about the same price

[The Official Czex]

Get a R9-380.

[Mohenjo]

Get a 6600k CPU.

 

also i would recommend dropping the SSD and only getting 8gb of ram and then get a r9 390

Upgrade the SSD to a larger one 120gb can be filled with the os and 1 largeish program!

Drop the ssd??? I would much rather have an SSD over a 5% performance increase thats limited by a hdd!

Except keep the SSD

the only reason i said to drop the SSD is to keep it in budget. and dropping would allow him to get an r9 390 in his budget, plus he can always add an ssd later on. but he cant add more power to his gpu, he would have to spend another 300

Youre supposed to do it the other way around, get the SSD first then get the HDD later if youre put in that situation.

Then later on when you get the HDD, you dont need to install Windows again, as you would if you were to get an HDD first and SSD second.

oh yea, you could do that. but 120 gb is like, nothing. gta V on its own takes up 80gb

Assuming youre not downloading AAA titles, and if worse comes to worst, just buy em both at the same time, it will be worth it and save frustration in the long run.

The power supply... Un... Explosions and Fires.

I´d really recommend a better PSU, because it´s just not worth spending like 20 bucks less and having to deal with noise, heat, and system crashes (and nuclear explosions, of course). Also you could buy a much less expensive case that still looks good - I know it is often just personal preference but since you could spend it on better "vital" components it might be worth considering...

[SaiyanShivvy]

Thanks for all the response, I will take this into consideration.
