$800 AUD Build

[theakamra]

Hi, I am a first time builder and I have just gotten into pc gaming and i want to get off my Macbook and do some proper pc gaming. i also want this build to last a couple generations. I will be playing mostly low end games but some AAA titles will be played.

 

The parts that I have selected are:

AMD FX6300

Asus R7 360

Gigabyte 970 Gaming MOBO

Corsair Carbide Spec-01

Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB

Corsair VS550

WD Green 1Tb

 

Are these parts any good and if no, what recommendations do you have for these parts.

Here's my recommendation - better GPU, much better PSU and better storage:

If you are in very very tight budget than it's OK but if you can afford $900 AUD than i will recommend to go with i5 6400 and GTX 960 or R9 380 build.

No, the PSU is still utter crap. It's bad and I'm not exaggerating.

 

Aim for a tier 1-4 PSU on this list:
