What site did you find these or did you find these yourself if so then use pcpartpicker.com it can help you with compatibility issues and I am sure you can find those parts on there.

xXx_VirtexDuo_xXx · Feb 19th 2015, 12:08am

I found them on my own. And thanks I'll check it out.

No problem also I am pretty sure that it will work and if you need any help I can help you with the parts.

You can even max out some games.

Looks great. But if you are playing low-spec games I would consider changing the hardware.

Personally I would have chosen Intel. As AMD normally overheats and is not as powerful as Intel, but they are good for budget builds. As for your GPU, I'm pretty sure you can get a GTX 960 4GB for about the same price as the one you chose.

(For a limited time you will get Witcher 3 for free if you buy it)
You could probably max out most games and/or run them on higher settings than your normally would with this build.

By the way, if you have some extra money.
SAPPHIRE 100361-8GL Radeon R9 290X 8GB 512-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Tri-X OC(UEFI) Video Card - Newegg.com check this out it's $140 more than the one you chose and it's 8gb with 2.8k streaming processors.

You don't really need the 16gb of ram unless you are going to do some heavy editing.(with i dont expect because you chose an AMD cpu) It looks like a steady build for the rest although i recommend using an intel cpu.
