I dont want anyone to answer no its not just because it is AMD and start going on about how intel with Nvidia is better. Just an honest answer



Answer
Yes, it's good. However you could tweak a couple of choices and make it better for the same price.

I agree that the FX-4300 is a better CPU value around $100 (while the original Bulldozer FX processors were slower than a Phenom II X4 965 in games, the Piledriver CPUs have much improved gaming performance).

Also... if you're buying a GPU of the Radeon HD 7790/GeForce GTX 650 Ti or higher level, that's where it pays to spend another $20 and get a 2GB model. Some games (most notably Skyrim) need 2GB of VRAM to avoid major fps drops on ultra settings at 1080p. If your monitor resolution is 1680x1050 or lower, then you'll be fine with a 1GB card.

You have more than enough power. In fact, I suggest saving a few bucks on the PSU with a Corsair CX600 or Seasonic S12II 620 and boosting your GPU a level instead. Move up to a GeForce GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7870. 600W is still plenty for a build with those cards, but your fps would be much better.
