Building A Gaming Rig...

So, I've finally broken down and decided to build a gaming rig. Just have a few questions. Here is what I have so far. Mainboard: GIGABYTE GA-78LMT AM3+ CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5Ghz 8-Core RAM: G.SKILL 4GB DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (Going to have two sticks, at 4GB a piece, 8GB Total) Drive: Western Digital WD 1TB 7200 RPM 3.5SATA DVD/CD Drive: SAMSUNG DVD/CD Reader/Burner COMBO Case: Rosewill CHALLENGER-U3 PSU: Rosewill Green Series RG530 530W Here is my one caveat, I really have no idea which graphics card to purchase for it. Looking to keep it in the $150 dollar range, but wiling to go $175, tops. I don't need a monitor, so that I don't have to worry about. Also, how many games today support controllers, coming from primarily consoles, I've always used controllers to play, not the biggest fan of a mouse and keyboard. Thanks for any help, or suggestions!

    [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/p/15PaB]New build[/url] Ok so, yes the 8320 is a better CPu than the 965, but for regular day to day use and in gaming, you won't be able to tell the difference. Also, I opted for no optical drive because there isn't really much need for one now a days. You can easily build your computer and get it up and running without one. I was able to. If you still want one though, just add one in.

    • The big things are that the Mouse and keyboard are more precise than gamepads, and you should make sure that your parts are compatible.

      What's your total budget (like for the entire system)?
