So basically, I'm building a PC for the first time, it's going to be my own.
I'm spending 850 on it and am really scared incase I break it but anyway, here's some of the parts.

What do you guys think?

Processor: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Power Supply: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Motherboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
-----------------------------------ORIGINAL IDEA-----------------------------------

Post your opinions on them parts so far and maybe suggest me some other parts just please take in mind that my budget is 850 which in USD is: $1366.80 US Dollar

UPDATE:

So I decided I'd like to get these two parts for definite, onan 815 budget what else should I get for the money?

Processor: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Graphics Card: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The Processor comes with the power supply, that is why I am going for that, take in mind guys the Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse etc is not included in the budget, I've got all the covered already as I said earlier.

What I need you guys to tell me is all the over parts I should get for the budget that is remainder from buying thoses two parts, I'm not fussy on what case etc, preferrably 16gb's of RAM but that's not an issue.

Thanks,

-UnrealPk

Just a quick note the 850 / $1366.80 budget that I am spending on this rig is not including the OS/Monitor or any external items such as a Mouse, Keyboard Speakers etc

This PC will be for Gaming at it's finest.

Thanks,

I'd go with the FX-8320 and just overclock it, as the 8350 is basically an overclocked 8320.

Won't work. Using an Intel board with an AMD chip will never end well, let alone work. If you're looking for a cheap AMD board the GA 78LMT USB3 is a great one. For around 40 quid it is the best bang for the buck, as it has a VRM heatsink, 4 RAM slots and USB3 Ports. Although the max socket TDP is 125w, meaning you won't be able to overclock the 8320/8350 as they take 125w stock.

If you did go with the 8320, you could get a full ATX board that will allow you to overclock with the money saved by not going for the 8350, something like an MSI G46. Bare in mind this is a full ATX board so if you only have an mATX case it isn't going to fit.

Going with the 8320 would be the best option. It's the exact same chip as the 8350, just with a lower clock speed. Some may say the 8350 is the lazy man's 8320.

If you buy everything from Scan, they have a thing called ScanSure, it means you pay an extra and if anything is damaged or broken during installation, they will replace it usually the next day. Yes it's an extra 20GBP on top, but it is so worth it.

This build will max every game out and do it with ease. It won't overclock, but it has saved you a butt ton by not being able to.

Seems like a pretty nice build!
Thankyou for your input on it, I really do appreciate it but I can maybe go a little over the budget and I've been looking at this:

That was the original one I was going to choose, what do you think about that, It's alot better than the rest of the R9 280x series by the looks of things.

Thanks,

I think it's the ugliest thing i have ever seen.

It's a hideous card but if that's what you want, get it. But i don't think it's worth the extra.

I highly doubt that will be able to overclock higher than the other models, and thats the only reason you'd get the Toxic model.

PS It looks horrible.
