Hello, I am trying to make a good PC build for gaming and I would like some help. I already picked out most of the things that I want, but I would like some suggestions to how I could make it better or if the build is good.

 

Here are the Specifications:

 

AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor

Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

EVGA GeForce GTX 950 2GB SSC ACX 2.0 Video Card

                 This is what I have so far, if you would like to make a suggestion please, leave a comment or message me. As this is my first build, I would like to try to make it as best as I can but keep in mind that my budget is around $500.

 

Thank you for your time, and have a good day!
