I call it... FrankenRig...

[StarWarsKing]

There's a really long story to the name but we'll leave that for another time... This is my build...

CPU: AMD FX-4300
MOBO: Biostar TA970 V5.2
RAM: HyperX Fury Red 2x4GB
GPU: Sapphire R9 290X
PSU: Corsair TX650
HDD: 320GB Seagate 7200rpm
CASE: NZXT H440 Red/Black

I think my CPU might be bottlenecking some bigger games like Batman Origins or something... I'm getting Fallout 4 soon but I'm scared it might not run, just like Origins... Well tell me what you guys think of my rig and I'm taking any constructive criticism. Also if you guys want better pics I can do it, just request.

EDIT: So here's why my parts are so mismatched.

I started with an Antec 900 case with an E8600 Core 2 Duo and 4 gigs of ram and a Geforce 9500. Someone dropped beer on my pc and fried my mobo's pci slots. So I started using a Dell Inspiron 530 with just the onboard graphics. My friend then sold me a GTX 550ti for 50 bucks but my Dell couldn't run it stock. I also found out that the socket on the Dell was LGA775 just like my last rig, so I strip the Antec 900 of everything except the PSU, I put in all the Dell guts in the Antec but swap the crappy LGA774 chip with the E8600 and add in used GTX 550ti. It was a great League Machine but I maxed out my mobo ram at 4 gigs and it was a 2 core cpu... so I had to upgrade.

Enter craigslist. I end up finding my current FX-4300 with the Biostar mobo and an Asus 1gb HD 7770, for only 150 bucks. It was great!, I swap all my new buys for everything else, order 8 gb of 1866 fury x, and start playing csgo and kotor 2 with my new build. I decide I want to look for something better than a 1gb card so I can play better games. I've always been a console gamer before my original Antec 900/E8600 build, so most of the games I want to play are games that were on XB360 that I see on Steam. So I find an R9 290X for 250, I do some research, it's a good deal, I buy it and insert. I then update my dell monitor to my new asus 1080p monitor, buy a cherry mx keyboard with lights in my favorite color, and buy a chinese knockoff mouse to match my keyboard. Everything now matches except my case. My Antec has 3 120mm fans with bright blue LEDs. Instead of new fans that are red for a case that has no way of having decent cable management outside of hard modding the case, I decide it's time to upgrade my case.

ENTER THE NZXT CASE. Now I have my current build. My Frankenrig. I decided it's time to buy a not so old AAA title, Batman Origins. It'll be a great way to test out my build since all I play is League of Legends, CS GO, Hearthstone, and Gameboy Advanced roms. i start getting massive FPS drops... steady 70+ then BAM! down to 3-8 fps... I had the feeling it was gonna be the CPU and from what you guys pointed out, it is. So this is where I'm at with my PC. Honestly, I want to get an i7 4790k. It's just what I want at the moment. Mostly gaming with the possibility to follow through with some video editing I've always wanted to do.

But that's the story of my super mismatched CPU and GPU. It's been through alot...

That mousepad is ruining your gaming because of the large contrast in colour.

FX 4300 + R9 290X? Holy mother of bottleneck!

[bloader]

very nice, not sure it makes much sense pairing that gpu with that cpu though

[Bazilias]

The 4300 Won't keep up with the R9 290X it will bottleneck in situations were the game needs a higher amount of cpu horsepower than the 4300 can provide. If I were you, you should upgrade your cpu to an i5 or an AMD 8320E(or better).

POOOP I knew it... lol. So I can tell you guys the story but it's really long and boring...

[Nacho Marco Segui]

The case costs more than the cpu,nice

Edited my main post with the story of my PC and why it's so mismatched outside of a nice color scheme.
