Building for gaming and dailyuse. I am a first time builder and i hope to be able to play most games on medium or high with 30-40 frames. My budget would be 800-900 dollars. Im going to do minimal overclocking. Im planing on having a nvidia graphics card over gtx 650 because ill be getting a shield in the future. I dont have a monitor, keyboard or an OS currently so i listed them above.

Micro Center build I would do with that budget

*MSI 970A-G46 AM3+ ATX AMD Motherboard $40

*AMD FX 6100 Black Edition 3.3GHz Six-Core $109

(* denotes bundle deal they have going)

HGST Ultrastar A7K2000 1TB 7200 RPM  $90

Kingston HyperX blu 8GB (2x4gb) DDR3-1600 $63

BitFenix Shinobi ATX Mid Tower Computer Case $40

Corsair CX Series CX500M 500 Watt ATX $60

LG 24x Super Multi Internal SATA DVDRW DL $16

EVGA 02G-P4-2662-KR NVIDIA GeForce GTX $209

Total = $627

+OS $100

+Monitor Lenovo LI2321S 23" Widescreen IPS LED $150

throw in the extra case fans and or a cpu cooler like the CM 212 EVO for $30

Best of luck.


whats your reason for not going with the fx 6300?

save a little cash.

FX6300 is a better cpu...and the Asus M5A97 R2.0 is a better mobo. especialy for overclocking. a GTX 650 ti boost pickup a 2GB version. is not a bad choice. for daily use and some gaming. or a 7850 2 GB.
