Im building my first pc from scratch (I usually just upgrade the hard drive and switch out the ram every now and again) and i need to know all the tricks and/or tips here is a list of my parts

1. AMD FX-8370 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor bundled with an Asus 970 ATM AM3+ Motherbord

2. Two sticks of DDR3 Team Vulcan 8gb RAM

3. 1TB HDD

4. Zotac GeForce GTX 750 To 2GB Video Card

5. NZXT S340 ATX Case

6.SeaSonic S12II 430W 80+ Bronze psu

 

When giving me tips on the build or how to make it better keep in mind that AMD is my prefrence even if intel can out preform it and that this is a budget build of about $600 im only willing to go up maybe another $50 to $100. Tho this community is awesome and very knowledgeable :) and helped me with this build to begin with. I look forward to seeing what you guys have for me.

 

P.S. Im planning on putting LEDs around the class panel in the future and a water cooler to make it look awesome in the dark is this a good idea?

anything under the 750ti is not worth getting.

1. Get a core i5.

 

The amd fx cpu's are old and slow and hot.

 

2. Id get a faster gpu if you can. Look at a amd 470

 

Id get a ssd if you can.

If you are looking for a good "value" in a GPU, look no further than here:
passmark value[link]

Just keep in mind its not absolute and is only a "rule of thumb" comparison.

 

I think you should shoot for the GTX 950 or higher.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

Im going with the cpu that i have bc its bundled with my mother board ill upgrade to something better in the future but its something for me to upgrade tho i am totally down with getting a faster gpu. and as for the ssd i really want to get one but i can get an HDD for a forth of the price

AMD CPU currently suck. A i3 is much faster.

 

Just get a 6500 or a 6100.

 

SSD's are so much faster. Id highly recommend one.

so if you get a i3 with the corresponding motherboard it would allow you to get an i5 or i7 later down the line.

how about this motherboard https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Motherboard-Micro-DDR4-GA-B150M-D3H-GSM/dp/B014Z7IY92

 

and this cpu https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80662I36100-i3-6100-Cache-Processor/dp/B015VPX2EO/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1473999392&sr=1-1&keywords=6100?

the small one HOWEVER, 120GB is way too small to be "worth it" I'd recommend a 240GB for boot so you can be more liberal in programs installed on the SSD (which'll boot up really fast. consequently in addition to OS)  I currently use 182GB of 291GB on my C: partition for an SSD.

gaming  wise, an i3 6100 will shit on that CPU and it's even cheaper

 

would an i5 be more expensive then the amd fx?

If AMD is your preference, you should try getting an RX 460 then. It'll cost about $20-$30 more than that Zotac card, but it's newer and better. I'd also consider waiting on Zen if you're only going to get an AMD processor. Unless you need a lot of cores for something like rendering, Intel's options at around that price point have better price to gaming performance at the moment.

 

Also, if you're using two 8 GB DIMMs for a total of 16 GB, I doubt you'll really ever need to upgrade your RAM.

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Hxt28K take a look at this build. you would get a much better pc for around your price range

I'd like to note that you can also get the GTX 1060 3GB for the same price as the RX 470.  And yes, the 1060 is the faster choice.
