Hey /g/, my old pc is really starting to show its age and I'm trying to build one for relatively cheap. I'm mostly going to be doing gaming, working in adobe suite, and web browsing. Will this suffice or should I change some of the items. Thanks in advance.

Shave off 20 by going with 1600mhz RAM, ditch the expensive 990fx board and get a solid 970 board instead for $70, the 990fx only is better if you need extra pci-e lanes for crossfire.

Use the money saved to get an R9 380

These builds are shit. Assuming a $600 budget, you should do this:

PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/J84ZnQ
Price breakdown by merchant: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/J84ZnQ/by_merchant/

CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($194.99 @ B&H)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($50.99 @ Micro Center)
Memory: G.Skill NT Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($29.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($48.66 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: PowerColor Radeon R9 380 4GB PCS+ Video Card ($172.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Fractal Design FD-CA-CORE-3300-BL ATX Mid Tower Case ($39.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 520W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($55.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $593.59


The FX-6350 is not a good gaming CPU. It has very poor instructions per clock and it's 3 module CMT architecture is not well suited for gaming. You're also spending a shitload of money on a case which has zero performance benefit. Basically you're poorly allocating your limited funds. Hell you don't even include a good PSU for that R9 380, and you spend extra on an R9 380 with an inferior cooler to the cheaper one. Basically, just get the build I'm posting here. It's better in every way. If you must spend more money, throw in an SSD. Don't waste it on a more expensive case or an aftermarket CPU cooler.
