Computer building question (need tips for components)

[Botre]

I currently own:

 

Motherboard: 

• Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4A89GTD_PROUSB3/

 

CPU: 

• AMD FX-4300 Vishera Quad-Core 3.8GHz

CPU cooler:

• Stock cooler that came with above CPU

Other (less relevant):

• 2 * 4GB RAM (one of them might be corrupt)
• 500GB internal HDD

 

What I am looking for:

 

Budget is 250-300$ for all these items together.

 

• Entry-mid level, casual gamer, graphics card, I was thinking around 2GB.
• A cooler for the above graphics card.
• The perfect 4GB ram stick (I will buy 2-4 from these depending on the results of the memtests I will be running soon).
• A 100GB SSD drive (to boot the OS from and other essential applications).
• A CPU cooler (no hydro).
• A 400+W PSU.

 

Notes / things to keep in mind:

 

This will be my last AMD/ATI-based build EVER, I'm so fucking done with them.

 

Don't recommend to switch MOBO/CPU unless you can squeeze decent alternatives ontop of the requested components while remaining inside in the budget (highly unlikely ).

 

All components must be 100% compatible with MOBO + CPU.

 

Thanks :x

You might have be tight trying to squeeze all of this in that budget.

 

If I were you I would drop the aftermarket cooler for the graphics card, its not necessary for this tier card.

The card you will be looking at in this budget wont be more than 100 bucks, and that card will not need an aftermarket cooler. Just use the fan/induction cooler that will come with it.

No need for anything other than a stock cpu cooler if you don't plan on overclocking. Same with the graphics card, and even then, even with stock coolers you can increase your gpu speeds by 5% or so.

While I understand it is above your budget, it's the best bang for your buck list of components you'll get without sacrificing performance or reliability in any area.

As previously mentioned, a CPU cooler is not necessary however I will add they greatly reduce noise in your system.

If you're trying to cut down on noise, a cheap but effective (and quiet) cooler such as the Hyper 212 Evo is fantastic.
