Hi guys i am a total newbie in building a pc and need help on it!
Previous PC, the mobo died. I think due to overheating?

My budget is $900. I play game like Diablo 3 and future games like watch dogs. Time spend on PC: 4-5 hrs on weekday and >8 hrs on weekend.

I will be using back my ssd, hdd, monitor and OS

Thanks!

Hi thank for the recommendation. If the budget increase to $1000 can improve further like having cooling fan or it is not needed?

Thanks!

Can get a powercolor 280x @ $425

Power supply can get Seasonic s12g 550w @ $99

The stock fan on CPU and the case will be good enough for cooling
