I have a budget of $650-750 to build a gaming PC. I've never owned a gaming PC before and was wondering what you guys thought of my current build. Will it run most games on good settings? What can i do to save more $? I'm from the U.S. so if anyone wants to link me alternative parts for cheaper, please take that into consideration. Thank you. I'll take any advice.
PS: This came out to be $548.00 on pc part picker and i'm buying a separate motherboard called GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-S2 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard on newegg for $56.00 because am3+ sockets don't support ddr4 ram.
Total is ~$605.00
Seems like a solid purchase

Read the sticky retard, this isn't your consumer electronics review website.
I would throw more RAM, 16GB at least. Who needs an optical drive nowadays ???
I would not leave out an Original OS. Last time I rebuilt my PC i included original W10 for the first time in 15 years and the PC has been more stable than ever.

Get a used 3gen i7 laptop and mount an external graphic card via pcie.

i7 3630qm has same or better performance than the fx AMD processor

Ddr4 ram is a meme unless you have it running on 2500mhz+
why the fuck FX cpu at this point? an i3 is probably better at most games (bored to look up benchmarks sorry), i'd wait for ryzen 3
>>59869825 (OP)
For the love of god don't get an fx cpu, and drop that 35 dollar cooler. I would spend $40 bucks extra and get a ryzen 1400 which already comes with a decent cooler.
You don't need a dvd drive either unless you still live in the fucking 90's.
>>59869825
change the cpu to a pentium g4560 or ryzen 5 1400
>>59869825
Use pc part picker to see if compatible
Research every component

I just decided i'll drop 800$ on a build. If i'm close to going big, i can spend the extra 100-200$ to make sure it's a build that's easily upgradeable and well built.
This is what i'm going with now. And yes, i will buy another 1x8gb stick of ram at ddr4 2666 once i make more money. Thanks for the tips.
I dropped the 8730 for a ryzen 5 1600 because i found out, as i am a noob, that am3+ sockets don't support ddr4 ram on the motherboard so i also upgraded from an am3+ cpu, the 8370, to an am4 socket cpu so the motherboard wud never have to be switched out until the next ryzen generation. Thanks again.

i have also upgraded my SSD from 120 gig to 240 gig as i have heard it helps a lot for open world game load times such as skyrim, fallout, rust, etc. games that i will be playing.
thx for all of the tips, i have learned a lot today about computer building and such.
I have a GPU related question.
I'm considering getting RX 470 and I have a 500W power supply. Now the thing is that it's made in Croatia or some shit and it isn't 80 PLUS, will it still power this card?
>>59874998
anon, op here.
from what my friends have told me today, do NOT get an rx 470.
>>59874888
I can't believe someone actually made a good decision on /g/
>>59875050
thanks anon, i've been up for 22 hours now talking to my friends for like 6 hours trying to figure out what to do and listen to their information. they're the real heroes.
>>59875026
why's that?
>>59875087
wait im sry anon, i misread. i thought u put rx 460. my mistake, i've been up for a while and my eyes are deceiving me. i'm sure 470 is good, my apologies.
now to give u advice from what i've learned, always get 50-100 extra wattage over the amount u use just incase. u dont wanna end up frying ur pc
>>59875136
As I've seen while Googling this shit it needs like 400-450W PSU so I guess I'm good then.
