Thoughts on my spec for a friend

The biggest problem with your spec was the overpriced 4350 when the 6300 is better and cheaper and the budget motherboard.

I would swap out the CX500 in Doomedspeeds build for the Antec High Current Gamer 520w. The CX series are a budget range with cheap internals while the Antec is a quality Seasonic built unit and is only £4 extra.
 
great, thanks for your response :) In what way did you think it was unbalanced (for future reference)?

Well basically, the 4350 was the major mistake, the 6300 is better and (somehow) cheaper..

Also you went for a high end card and low end everything else, i feel i managed to balance it a bit more by toning down the GPU a bit...

Though the GPU in yours may be better, there may have been a bottleneck present which my spec wouldn't suffer from..

Also mine can overclock better due to the better motherboard (for not much more £)

Its £10 more actually.
