Any suggestions?
My first real build, and it's with very basic knowledge about hardware. Anything I could replace for a similar price? Anything I could upgrade for slightly more expensive?
I currently have a 640GB I'm going to use. Should I slap in a small SSD for the OS and important applications?
I can go up up to 800-900$.
As for it's applications, I'd do a bit of gaming and design.
Unless you overclock, it doesn't look like you'll be taking advantage of your RAM speed. Your processor supports up to 1333 without overclocking, but your RAM is 1600.
Otherwise, it looks like those parts will work together just fine. Now if you're getting the best bang for you buck, I do not know as I'm not as familiar with AMD hardware.
Any suggestions on how I could improve the performance in the build? I have about 100$ left in my budget.
Should I get a processor that supports 1600, or bump down to 1333 and use that little extra cash to bump a different part up a notch?
