So I'm new to computers and I'm building a first time gaming rig. I started with logan's 350 dollar rig and changed a few things. these are the specs

if you guy could help me suggest things that'd be great. I was thinking about downgrading some parts and getting a graphics card. I'd like te price to be sub $400 and ill I've using it for mmorpgs like Swtor and TESO when It comea out. dont want like perfect graphics just for it to run smoothley and less load times. Don't know what to do about fans and CPU cooling so ya I need help on that
Yes. It's a budget build so you don't need an expensive case nor that fast RAM. But, yes, get the 1TB WD Blue. You'll be much happier with twice the storage
And I've actually found this [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119]modular 550W SeaSonic[/url] for only $5 more than the Corsair one, after rebate. (This is the PSU I'm using for my build too)
Get this and the case now before the sales end. The other stuff you can wait out a little closer to Christmas for better deals
Do Fox's build, but change the ram for faster ram. It's very important. In games, you'll see big difference in fps between speeds. Or you could buy the slower ram and oc them yourself.
Yep. If you know how to OC( or you can research), then save some money by doing Fox's build with the NZXT case. Then just OC the sticks. If you don't want to go to the trouble, then yeah, that builds good.
As you can see here, ram speed is important for AMD APUs.
