is this good? if not what should I change? My budget is $800 Us with a monitor and os.

 

also do I need to upgrade my bios for the cpu i'm using?

 

I will use it for gaming and moderate video editing and rendering.

bad CPU

If you can, swap the 380 out with a 380X, as it is a 4GB card to begin with, and is only marginally more expensive. Also, if you are planning to OC the 8320, definitely get an aftermarket cooler, such as the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, or Cryorig H7, as it will keep your temps down.

You can buy an OS on reddit for much less. Here:

yes, it's Z97 with a locked CPU, but Z97 boards are so cheap now, i see no reason not to

[jvb50m]

Ok... why is the cpu bad?

 

don nice build but with the os it is too much

[shadowbyte]

Why is it bad?

 

Nice but with os it is too much

AMD stock coolers of any sort are usually terrible. R9 290X springs to mind. Any stock cooler usually has a very small heatsink with a very tiny fan that is loud and doesn't cool very well at all. Also, computer hardware almost always runs better when it is cooler.

Avoid Asus and Gigabyte like the plague unless you want a coil whining overheating GPU that breaks within a year
