Building My First Gaming Computer

Hardware Hub Build a PC

Hey, I'm in the process of building my first gaming computer so far I've got a list of parts. I just wanted to check if I was making any terrible desicions on some of the parts. Well here are the parts:

Case: Aerocool X-Predator X1

Power Supply: Corsair TX650V2 Enthusiast Series 650W TX ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze PSU

ATX Motherboard: Asus M5A78l/USB 3 AMD3+ Socket

CPU: AMD Bulldozer FX-6 6200 3.8GHz Blakc Edition AMD3+ 8MB L3 Cache

RAM: Kingston DDR£ 1333Mhz i5

Graphics Card: Asus HD 7770 GHz TOP 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Grapichs Card

Hard Drive: Seagate 1.5TB 3.5" SATA 64MB

Wifi: TP Link TL-WDN4800 $50Mbps Wireless N Dul Band PCI Express Adapter

(Also I'm Building on a budget of about £500 or $813)

2

swap out the TP link for an intel and change the seagate over to a western digital and you're shiny

3

Switch the FX 6200 to a FX 6300.

4

I would go with faster ram. At least something with 1600 MHz speeds or higher.

this, faster rams is always good

I've came up with a rig for you, it totals $830. I maintained $40 for the wifi, the HD size you wanted and i've thrown $100 from the case since i didn't know how much the one you chose costed. With the remaining money i tried to build a rig with a somewhat big upgrade capability (throw in an extra GPU or a 1 faster GPU, more ram, or eventually a better CPU) and that would perform better than hardware you listed. I hope you like!

I've so far change the:

RAM to Corsiar CMX8GX3M2A 1600C9 DDR3 XMS3 8GB 1600Mhz

The CPU I dont want to change because of the cost

The Hard Drive I changed to a Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATAIII 6Gb/s 16MB Cache
