I'd get a bigger power supply 550w and a 7870 xt

Thanks for the advise about the power supply but what does 7870xt stands for ? video card mybe ?

That motherboard is socket fm2, an 8350 is not compatible. You need a AM3+ motherboard.

I would also recommend you get some better memory, rated at 1866 MHz or higher

A GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 or a msi 970a-g46  motherboard would be sufficient for this build

64gb really isn't enough... Get a normal 1tb HDD and get a AM3+ mobo like anarmypig said.

7

+1 i agree but I would suggest to also get a 128gb Kingston HyperX drive

8

I would also recommend an aftermarket cpu cooler, the ones AMD supply with their processors are trash. the prices on these can vary from $25 to $100 depending on how large of an overclock you want to be able to do.

$30, cooler master hyper 212 evo

$50, xigmatek dark kinight hawk edition

$100, corsair h100

if you choose to buy one of these, don't forget to watch Logans thermal paste video

+1 to everything anarmypig said

This build is a good start but you have a few flaws. First of all, your processor isn't compatible with your motherboard.

I would change the motherboard to the ASRock 970 Extreme3 AM3+ ($114.99)

I would get an EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2048MB GDDR5 instead of your 660 ($374.99)

A 64gb SSD is a joke IMO, get the same A-DATA XPG SX900 but get the 128GB variant ($114.99)

You definitely need a bigger power supply, go for a Corsair Enthusiast Series TX750M Modular 80+ Bronze PSU ($120.22)

I would also recommend a Fractal Design Define R4 case ($120.39)

IMO, these upgrades would greatly improve your build :)

Guys i forgot to tell you this has to be alittle cheap,because in my country this build+the monitor is about 1700 dolars!

I agree whit all on the motherboard ill get the same asrock AM3+ like anarmypig said or the gigabyte suggestion.

Also a better power supply really wold be good.Sorry to overlander 35 because that video card is too expencive :(

And after i get my pc i wold start saving money for the amazing coolers that anarmypig said! (from logans videos)

Thanks to all! :)
