If you think you are not able to make it yourself you can allways order all the parts from NCIX/NCIX US and pay for them to bilud it for you i think thay charge around $50 to do it for you.
Ok thank you. I think im going to try to build one

Gotta love Carey Holzman is build guides are second to none. I agree build this way better value than ailenware they are the worst in terms of gaming pc's
thank you
Hey if i buy a better gpu would that make it worth it. And also can i upgrade in the future with this build you gave me ?
hes a total noob though
he is stupid enough to have all fans being exauste
he makes completely false claims like that intel stock coolers cool better than aftermarket ones
and other horrendous shit
shit i knew more than he does now about computers when i was twelve
Carey Holzman helped me so much, i had troubles following the tek syndicate build a pc video, being a brand new pc builder still, Carey made easy as lego... NOW I WANT TO BUILD ANOTHER
Yes of course you can, the FX 6300 is plenty powerful for the majority of GPU's.
It's a very solid 6-core, the extra cores will also help in newer games like BF4.
Enjoy :)
I agree his tutorial's are so detailed great resource for first time builders in addition to tek syndicate of course.
