Hi im new to the site and anything pc related and i would like some help.
heres what i have so far my budget is around $1000
CPU: AMD FX 8350 black edition
refurbished WD Hard drive 2TB 7200 RMP 64mb cache
Case: Fractal Design core 1000 usb 3
bought those three really cheap but i dont what to do next, need help thanks!
how much of that 1k have you spent so far on your parts? or do you have 1k left? also what sort of usage? what country? do you need peripherals like screens? mouse? keyboard?
You are going to need to send the pc case back as there are no matx mobos that are any good for a 8 core cpu in fact i'd send all that back and buy this...

case will work fine, but you will have to remove one of the drive bays. you can mount your drives higher where the 5 in bays are. got a beefy psu so you can upgrade later. you could go a 390x or a fury but for 1080p you dont really need to. i have that EXACT cpu fan and it works great, but you could get a better noctua with dual fans if you want to really overclock to the limit.
that seems good also would an old video card work too like r9 270-290 and still get a decent fps on games like bioshock infinite?

No thats a fire hazard and the card and cpu cooling unit whont fit in a core 1000
270-290 would be fine with bioshock infinite.

$1000 is a bit to play with considering you have the processor and drive If you drop the 390X you can squeeze in a Fury. Whether or not it's worth it is up to you
ok. same solution still works. remove/alter drive cage and you have enough room.
That's not a knife... This is a knife

thanks for the reply guys also sadly i bought the case a long time ago and it was pretty cheap so i dont think i can return it anymore also for the gpu would it be ok to downgrade it to r9 290 and still play a game like bioshock decently?
there is no harddrive cage the harddrive/ssd gets bolted to the bar trust me none of that will fit and it has very poor airflow it will be a hot box.
yeah i think the case is the problem its too compact, i can replace it with another since i got it cheap but still that gpu though, what do you guys think about replacing it with r9 290?
im new to this and ill be mainly using the PC to play bioshock games and DotA 2 or CS
A 390 is just a 290 with more vram if you can find one cheap go for it
