Christmas Build

[The BIG Stomper]

So I am finally going to be building my first pc after a long time of wanting one and I want to ask you guys if this looks good or not. It is a budget pc supposed to be less than 700 so I do need to lower the range just a little bit not sure if I should switch to a amd fx 6300 or different motherboard or psu just I don't know enough. I want to run dual monitors game on it and do a little YouTube rendering and editing. So is this a good build what should i change? will it run dual monitors? edit and upload? these are my questions please help asap. here is the link http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7KyJcf I really need it to be around 650 with a keyboard and mouse which newgg has a deal for this keyboard comes with a mouse. No OS needed Thank you

Thank you if you were to downgrade something to make it just like 10-30 dollars less what would it be?

It's a pretty sweetly priced system, so I struggle to see areas for improvment on that area. Might be able to save money by going for one stick of 8GB value-type RAM or.

@The BIG Stomper If you were wanting to lower the price of your build, and are planning on upgrading in the near future you could go the G3258 route *can't play some games because isn't a quad core* but with a higher priced motherboard will leave you with room to experiment overclocking *only thing FX chips are good for anyway* and to have headroom to upgrade to an i7-4790k etc..

No way @Crowes, stick with the same ram and drop the DVD drive unless you seriously need it. Almost nothing is optical media anymore. And if you can, use that 20$ to get a 380X

Ah, this helps me too. What about driver discs, though? I know most of them are online, but what about the driver for your LAN or USB dongle or something to get online in the first place?

Lan works without drivers. It's just not optimized. I don't think I even have lan drivers installed on my rig but it still runs fine. And if it doesn't work, then just use another PC to download the install files onto a flash drive and then plug it into your new rig and your good to go.

You won't be able to overclock much at all on that mobo and run the risk of damaging the motherboard.

 

You have a $100 keyboard on a $760 build.  Mail in rebates do not make your purchase cheaper.

 

You are over budget.

what if i do not plan on over clocking is the mobo good?

Should be okay.  The FX CPU is slow (not talking about GHz) compared to the Intel CPUs though, especially for gaming.  It should slightly edge out the i5 4460 for rendering tasks, but not by much.

 

This board is what you should get if you choose the FX 8320:  http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga970aud3p
