I was just watching Jackfrags' Budget PC Build on YouTube and was wondering what you guys thought of it.
What could be changed/added/removed etc.

It seems like a pretty decent build for the price of 500GBP
(w/o peripherals and monitor(s))

Specs:

CASE
BitFenix Comrade Midi-Tower

HDD
1TB Seagate Barracuda 3.5" SATA III

DVDRW
LiteOn 24x Internal

CPU
AMD FX-6300 3.50GHz (4.10GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ (6-Core)

RAM
8GB (2x4GB) Crucial Ballistix Sport 1600MHz DDR3

GPU
2GB Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Dual-X Boost OC

MOBO
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P AMD Socket AM3+

PSU
EVGA 500W 80 Plus

Video is inside the spoiler.
Specs w/links are in description.



So what do you think?

You should be able to run most games on Medium, some of the lighter ones on High. All in all seems like a nice build, I would put an SSD in there for your OS.
But other than that for the price it should last you a few years.

I don't know where these people are getting their info about running games on medium and things such as that. But Tek Syndicate, Linus Tech Tips, and Austin Evans all have benchmark graphs bench marking the r9 270x on games such as battlefield. Now running BF4 may require a slightly better CPU (Add 50-70$ and you can grab a cpu that can beat most intel cpus out there depending on the activity. But I use to have this same setup and could run bf4 on Ultra with most settings max and still get 40+ FPS, 70+ on Ultra Bioshock Infinite, 30+ High on last light. But the only thing you should worry about is bottle necking, but Its not as common until you go overboard. I would also recommend waiting an try to grab the FX-8350 when it has a rebate or goes on sale.

it is a medium/high build you would put that into ultra based gaming at all lmao...especially with an amd processor..maybe the 8320+ because its good at process handling personally myself i have GTX 770 oced with a 6100 and my cpu does bottleneck..due to being a 6100

Every processor is good at processing, thats why they are called processors. Also you're running a Bulldozer CPU which probably isn't overclocked with a overclocked newer card, so thats your issue.
