First time building a PC

Hardware Build a PC
1

This is my first time building a PC I have a budget of about $700-900 dollars. I don't need a monitor, keyboard, mouse or operating system. This would be primarily used as a gaming computer. I am not sure if I want to go AMD or Intel. Any advice would be great.

Any preference on the size of the computer? Are you planning on overclocking?

3

mid tower preference, but full  tower is fine too

And about the  overclocking, not planning on doing that.

This should work for just fine

+1 that will game nicely

for $30 more you can get the 

FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor

other than that nice specs     \m/

Could have a beefier/better quality power supply, though.

I will admit I did cut corners a tiny bit on the power supply in order to fit the 280X into the build, but if the OP is willing to go over budget a little ($20) I got a build with a Seasonic gold

Yeah ... OP should consider the Seasonic and the FX8350 ... $60 is worth every penny
