I'm planning on making a computer for browsing the web, music, games, etc.

I was just wondering if this build is powerfull enough for playing games (like Fallout, GTA, Star Wars) on high without big problems. And what should i upgrade to achieve that more easily? Do keep in mind this is still a budget build.

 

 

this are the parts i'm planning to use:

 

                 CPU: AMD FX-6300

  Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3

                RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB DDR3 (2x)

                Case: Cooler Master Elite RC-430-KWN6

I didn't include an HDD since you didn't include one either.

They have an SSD listed. So they're going to need a HDD or SSD.

Thank you for the replies, it is my first build and I'm still figuring out what are the more important components. My budget is 550€ which is about 617$ but most sites do not ship to my country so i must use more expensive components than i would if i lived in america.
