First time building an AMD system and its for a friend, so I don't want to mess things up.
It's a budget gaming rig and the parts are:
Case: Cooler Master Elite 431 SIDE WINDOW
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 AMD970, AM3+
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz
CPU Cooler: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: SAPPHIRE HD7790 2GB OC GDDR5
PSU: CORSAIR Builder Series CX500, 500W
RAM: CORSAIR 2x4GB Vengeance DDR3 1866Mhz
HDD: WD 1TB SATAIII Caviar Blue
DVD-RW: LG GH24NS95 SATA
It's in the budget for ~600€ but:
1. I wanted to change the case if I find another one for the same price with better quality. I don't know much cases, I use Thermaltake on mine, but its not a budget one, so I need some cheap but good quality case.
2. Is the RAM okay? Is there better ram or that Vengeance (black) is good?
3. He is not planning to get a second card for crossfire or something, at least not in the near future and I think 500W is enough.
4. Any opinions for the motherboard? I read some reviews, its okay I guess.
Any opinions in general?
Cheers to those who help <3
