Building a pc. Need help

[Williamm]

Hi guys.

 

I'm trying to build a pc using the 

Cooler Master Elite 350 (CMP 350) casing.

AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition Processor

MSI R7 370 GAMING 4G Graphics Card

MSI Computer ATX DDR3 1066 Motherboards 990FXA GAMING

Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM - Black (HX318C10FBK2/16) ram

 

Will this be a ok gaming computer?

It won't do much of anything without a power supply.

 

How it preforms depends on what you will be doing.

What will you use it for and what's your total budget?

go to pcpartpicker.com and just search around a bit, you will find stuff to do and put your build in there.

Sorry for another question but what storage will you be using? Personally I would recommend an SSHD hybrid drive for the storage and price of the HDD but quick boot times of the SSD

Id get a i5 or a i3 over a 8350.

For gaming probably not an i3. Although a new skylake i5 like the 6500 would be good. (however this involves more expensive Mobo and DDR4 Ram, bumping up the cost) or you could get a haswell i5 (though older, and no ddr4)

 

in general Intel will cost more but tend to be better, so if your on a budget stick with the 8350, as they are still very good

You don't need an fx 8350, go down to a FX 6300 or Athlon x4 (on the fm2+ platform) 

I am guessing case comes with a PSU, don't use a case PSU,  XFX and Seasonic have good PSUs for $30.

You don't need 16GB of ram, drop it down to 8GB

A r7 370 is shit. Get a R9 380 2GB or 4GB instead. 

You don't need a top tier motherboard,  get the cheapest AMD 970 motherboard with USB 3 headers if you are getting a FX 6300.

You don't have a HDD in that list.

will Gigabyte AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 Motherboards GA-970-Gaming be fine with FX 6300
