Whats your pc?

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

I'm being be a gamer lol :D
I just got bored to play games like Battlefield (4/5) and cod (2/3) and others to ultra low Graphics and get 30fps
Now i really need a good pc, and i found a website which sold builts... At very reasonable prices.
Specs:
Amd Fx 8320 (can't remember if it was 3.5 or 4.0GHz and i'm pretty sure it was Oclocable)
R9 380 4gb Ocloclocked @990MHz
Ram 8gb
Hdd 1Tb
600$ without OS, keyboard, mouse and monitor.
IS that good?
Would it be better get a gtx 960 4gb?
With this pc i'll play as i said Battlefield, cod, farcry, sim, reflex and ksp.
5800x3d, 32gb DDR4 @3200MHz, RX 7900XTX, SF850 2024 in Thermaltake Tower 200. Full custom loop.

Not a bad price for a prebuilt. I added the parts up on pcpartpicker and it's $70-$100 cheaper if you were to build it yourself. So something to think about... You could spend that extra money on your peripherals or OS or maybe a CPU cooler to overclock that CPU. The only thing to look out for is the power supply. Often times prebuilts will have a cheap PSU in them.

Either way, between the two cards you listed, go with the R9 380. The 960 is weaker and its 4GB VRAM is mostly a marketing strategy.

I would skip the 8320 and try to get into a entry level I5 if you can.

i5 4460 and a simple H97 board will probably be around the same price or a little less (no research, so don't quote me on that)

Don't listen to me. Turns out the 4460 is A LOT more expensive than I'd guessed

Retail price, yeah. But you can pick them up for only about $20 more than the AMD so I agree with SMR. You can still be under your $600 price mark even with an i5 4460. Here's an example.

You didn't mention what motherboard so I'd be concerned about banking on OC performance if they give you some basic board that wouldn't be able to support anything over stock. Also no mention of PSU brand or wattage so another red flag of a cut corner. What case is it going in, enough space for fans/cooling/cables?

As far as a part list I prefer a i5 over anything FX, especially for game use only but the 380 is better than the 960. Don't get caught up in the OC numbers, they are throwing buzz words at you and you are eating it up.

For $600 I'd use this.

Basically this...That is a baller build on a budget.

Agree about the red flags about O.C. and no Mobo or PSU listed. I had a hard time getting my 8350 to run at stock clocks at my admitting cheap Mobo because the VRM was overheating after about 30 seconds of load.

So this is tripping me out, Sometimes when I boot up my PC, My SSD has 25gb free, While other times it might only have 10 GB free. Does anyone know what would make it change all the time?

Do you have any programs installed to it or just Windows? Do you have CCleaner that does a periodic cleaning?

10gb is a big difference but I know Photoshop will save stuff to your hard drive.

Yeah and it's rare I even open photoshop so I don't think it would be that causing it.

Is this a boot drive? Could be some form of temp files that only write themselves when in use.
