So I'm currently trying to get a job and figure the first thing I want to save up for was a good Gaming PC.
Now I've worked with my Dad (Who has spent years building gaming PCs) to find some decent specs.
I wanted to build something that would at least match/outpreform a PS4/XBONE.
Here's the important stuff:
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition
MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE GA-990FX
GRAPHICS CARD: XFX Radeon R9 380X

Just want to get some second opinions/suggestions for building as well as advice for a first-time owner of a gaming PC.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
A useful piece of advice I read whilst studying for my build was that your PC will run pursuant to the lowest denominator. A brilliant rig will be throttled by a mediocre motherboard, for example.
