I would go for this one and I want to mention that you forgot the storage

[Xenift]

Many problems with the build, firstly would be the PSU.

It's not going to support that R9 380 for sure. Along with overclocks.

I would highly suggest not to cheap out at this particular component when you are having a higher power draw than usual and also a power hungry GPU.

 

Also unless you have a hard drive lying around, you need a new one to power a system up. You might just be forgetting this fact idk whats going on.

 

Mostly i think you got your priorities wrong and should really straighten yourself up on what you need rather than slapping a build up with things that overclock.

[MJ...]

If you want a budget build pls learn to use micro-atx mobo's!

Why are people suggesting him 750 watt psu??? That's way to much but it's true u need a good gold certified psu

[pinksnowmanshandle]

@MJ... I don't think gold is 100% necessary if you're drawing close to the rated Wattage of the PSU but yeah for a 400 watt or less system, a 750 watt PSU is way too much even if it was 80+ Titanium or Platinum.

@Nathan skripamov

This is probably a little more than you're willing to spend but this build is essentially what your K build should be (for the most part) You could get a cheaper mobo that's still black/red if that's the color scheme you're going for.

Nah, it's good, but what's up with the expensive case and power supply? I thought that was not something you should worry about in a budget pc build. Is there a reason for it? Also, why did you opt for the specific videocard, is there anything special about it? Also, what was wrong with my motherboard of choice. (I know I may disagree, but if I am going to spend a lot of money, I do want to know how it is best spend, thanks for helping me ;-)

So you're saying the overclocking money isn't worth it for the 6600? Why the more expensive case and power supply? Thanks for helping me btw. ;-)

So you can get an Case which is less expesive but i would get a power supply thats worth 50$ (And for this much more money at this pricepoint oc is not worth it)

Would you be able to overclock the pc you recommended?

No , you would not be able to oc , but you would still have good performance

Oh I know what happened... Anyways, I went with the PowerColor GPU because it was a little cheaper. Also the mobo of your choice is an mATX mobo when you have an ATX case, why not make the most of the case.

The issue is with the PSU.

You are expected to have even more power draw than normal and that PSU is going to fry your entire build.
