PC Components

I have a list of parts in mind

AMD FX-6300 3.50 GHz Six-Core

AMD Radeon 7870

16 GB 1866Mhz

Corsair CX500 500W 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

ASUS M5A97

How's it look?

unless you do editing 16gb of ram is overkill

8GB of RAM, and invest those savings in a Rosewill Capstone 550M or Seasonic G 550, which are both much beter PSUs in terms of ripple and efficiency.

this is why I joined

What case do you have in mind?

Umm idk yet, what do you reccomend?

i would recommend put in 2x4 GB of ram if you just game, the money you saving, change the gpu to a Msi Radeon 7950 twinfrozer. that card is on sale for $245 and its the best bang for buck card. it destroys a 7870 and also a GTX760. it can compete with 7970 ghz edition wenn overclocking the 7950, it also beats a GTX770 at 1440P in most games, in 1080p they allmost perform identical. but the 7950 is much cheaper.

Depends on what kind of cases you like. If it's sleek and elegance you want, then an NZXT Source 210 Elite might be your candidate.
