Gaming rig build

Hardware Build a PC
1

Hello there,

 

I'm just going to cut to the chase. 

I want to build a gaming rig to be able to play most current games on high with the ability to last me a few years with the chance of upgrading it. Now my budget was originally arround €1200 but had to cut down here and there and ended up with arround 700. Now as I mentioned I would like the posibility to per say, upgrade my gpu or add an ssd of sorts. 

The build I was thinking about is the following:

Cpu: AMD Fx-8350

GPU: XFX radeon hd7850

Moederbord: Asrock 970 Extreme 3

PSU: Antec HCG 520

RAM: Corsair vengeance 8GB

HDD: Western digital blue

I would realy appreciate it if you could give me some feedback, points of improvement etc...

No case?

Besides that, the GPU can be switched for a 7870:

The CPU can be switched for something less, most games don't use all 8 cores of the 8350, so I'd suggest something like:

I'd suggest going with a 990 Mobo, making it more future proof:

The PSU that you selected isn't 80 Bronze (At least), I'd suggest something like:

(Makes the system more upgradable and won't set your house on fire!)

The RAM that you've selected is good.

The HDD is also good.

Havent checked this yet but if the performance of the 7850 to a 7870 is like the 6850 to a 6870 then I would recomend going for a 7870 instead, just for the additional performance. Instead of the Western Digital Blue drive maybe go for a black drive (usually better performance). Ultimately it does depend on the budget though, hope this helps.

Whoops forgot to mention my case :$ yeah Wanted to get the nzxt phantom mid tower 410, but due to budget I thought about going for the:

Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 mid tower

Haha, the Phantom 410 really looks good, not to mention good airflow. I can suggest to you the Tempest 210, it looks sleek (Kinda) and has USB 3.0 on the front panel. (If you ever upgrade to a Mobo that supports front panel USB in the future)
