I have had threads previous and the unanimous vote was FX-6300 OR if I could up my budget go for an FX-8320.


My build as it stands is this -

Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 270X
AMD FX8-8320 Black Edition Vishera 8 Core AM3+
CoolerMaster N-Series N200 USB 3.0 Micro-ATX Case
WD 1TB Blue SATA 6GB/s 7200RPM 64MB 3.5
Corsair 8GB (2 x 4GB) Vengeance Pro Blue DDR3
TP LINK 300Mbps Wireless N PCI Express Adapter
Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 AM3+ AMD 760G DDR3 mATX
EVGA 500W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply
LiteOn IHAS124-14 24x SATA Internal DVDRW


Bare in mind I have already ordered but If there was any changes to be made what would you have done? Thanks for your time!

Great build, I wouldn't really change anything, however I would go with a xfx 550W PSU, however that PSU will be fine.

Thanks Hoop. All your advice prior to this has not went un-noticed , I did push for the 8320 which I'm glad I did and I would have got the xfx as I've heard many great things about them but I decided I had to cut back a slight tad and ended settling for the EVGA, hopefully it's fine! Thanks for your time

Don't get me wrong, an EVGA PSU is great, just 500W leaves a smaller gap for upgrades.

Okay, I presume I can upgrade the PSU if need be but the EVGA was the best choice for me at the time due to the 15-20 pound price gap, but what do you think is better the FX-6320 upgrade to the FX-8320 or the EVGA upgrade to the XFX? Hopefully it's the 8320 upgrade.

The 8320 would be a better upgrade yes. The PSU is fine, however if you want to upgrade at a later date, you may want to switch out the PSU depending on what components you want to get, the PSU is fine and you made the right choice by going with the 8320.
