Would this PC config work optimally?

[Lennox]

Hey, im saving some money to build a new PC gaming case, and i would like to know if it would run optimally with the next config:

 

 

- Motherboard: Asus M5a99fx Pro R2.0 Chipset 990fx Scoket Am3+

-  Processor: AMD Fx 8350 Black Edition 4.0ghz - 4.2ghz

- Ram: Ddr3 Gskill 2x4gb Kit 1866mhz Sniper (8gb)

- Video Card: AMD Toxic R9 280x GDDR5 384 bit - 3 Gb

- Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1tb 64mb / 7200rpm

- Power Supply: Thermaltake 600w Tr2 Tr-600 (maybe i should pick a better one...)

- Case: already have one

 

That's it. If someone have also some recommendations, i will hear it too.

If you want to save even more money get an 8320 and a non toxic 280x

[miyabwah]

Yeah you could run 1080p games on that.

Looks good, however I would highly recommend tossing in a Samsung 840 EVO 120/250GB SSD, it will make a massive difference to the experience you will have.

Don't get the TR2.  I had it for 2 weeks and then it died.  The replacement also died, this time after 1 week.

Definitely.

• Definitely a better psu.
• Depending on local pricing, a Seagate Barracuda might save a bit.
• If you can, work an SSD into the build. In fact, give some thought to being able to get by with just an SSD.

It would perform well but you can get better for your money.

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

Im from Argentina actually, i suppose that ill spend around 1300 - 1400 USD (8500 argentinean pesos aprox.). The idea its buy everything except the Video Card, and a couple of months later finally buy the R9 280x (money problems).

Which power supply unit  would you recommend me that doesnt exceed the TR2 price for too much?

Since you're not shopping from the US, where are you actually shopping?

Honestly, I'd say to save your money for a while longer and buy something very reliable like a Seasonic unit.

I'm shopping from a website that is similar to Amazon, with the difference that it just for Latin America, this is it:

What's with the 'shares' of prices like $4299.90 or $533,87?

I'm sorry, i don't understand what you're asking me.

The thing on the right:

Not sure what it means.

Oh... I understand now, the thing is that the translation sucks haha. Total price would be in that case, $5,399 argentinean pesos (around 880 USD....yeah....really expensive in this country). The "shares" would be installments (i believe thats the right translation) of $670 pesos per month. 

Sadly, technology is very expensive here, so its hard to some people build a good PC.

Ahh, that's what I thought it was. Just wasn't sure. 

 

One more thing--what case do you already have?

Actually its not even a gaming case, but i never thought that a good case would be really necessary, for me its just another waste of money, money that i could use for parts that i really want, like Mother, Video Card, etc. 

Maybe im wrong, but, having a open case that its on an open place, its not almost the same that having a close case with good ventilation?. Anyway, of course that i want to buy one nice case, but that would be the last thing on my buy list. 

As i said, thats me dumb idea, Im maybe wrong.

P.S: Thank you for taking the time to help me out.

I was wondering what case you have to figure out what you can fit inside.

Its very standar, something like this:

With the difference that mine has a front entrance to put a 120mm fan.

Now that i see, my gtx 275 fit leaving just a short space (about 4 cm), so i think that R9 280x wouldnt fit there, less will do the Toxic model.

We mainly need to know what size off motherboard we can fit into it. For a "gaming case" it is mainly called gaming because of LEDs and what not, there are cheap good cases out there, but ofcourse no idea what case you have and how expensive 'cheap' cases are in your country.

I would sugges to wait with the build until then. You can likely get better prices by that time.

Since my actual case its not gonna work, what do you think about this one?

 

 

Thermaltake Commander Vn400a1w2n

 

Would it do the job?

I was going to ask if you could measure the cpu cooler clearance on the case. It seems you're going for a new case though.

It looks alright. I'd get something like a Source 210 Elite instead though.
