Just want to check how well this is before buying.

UnleashTM

Hi everyone, so recently with my Christmas money I decided to get some new parts for my pc. I am keeping the hard drives and case. I had to get it to around $370 with tax.

 

CPU: AMD FX 6100 6-Core: $85 (it is used and in "good" condition, fulfilled by amazon.)

 

Motherboard: ASUS Micro ATX DDR3 2000 AMD AM3+ Motherboard M5A78L-M/USB3: $50 ($10 rebate)

 

Ram: Crucial 8GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s: $33 (Just basic ram to play games and chrome, lots of chrome.)

 

Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950 2GB: $155 ($10 rebate)

 

Power Supply: EVGA 430 W1 80+: $30 (Unsure about this.)

Thank you for looking at this fellow members, I just want to make sure everything is good before sending away my cash.

I assume you're gaming so I would go with an Intel chipset instead, with a much better GPU:

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Please try to spend just a little bit more and go with an i3 instead. Besides the 6100 being very old at this point the i3 will beat it in pretty much any real world scenario, especially in games.

I'd go with something like this.

Although those parts would be much better please keep in mind postage costs which will add up if you want to buy from many different stores.
