Upgrading a PC

Ok I need some help with picking some parts

I've got a hardrive, powersupply and graphics card.

I need Ram, CPU and Motherboard i need to get this under $470 including postage (btw its from this site http://www.iibuy.com.au

Thank you for your time and help.

How about this.

Amd option

fx6300 Great cpu for its price

 M5A99fx Pro R2.0 - Great board for overclocking.

2x4gb ripjaws Nice ram with low heatsinks.

All this is about $415

Intel option

i5-3570k

asrock z77 extreme4

2x4gb ripjaws

Totals up to $469

 

Which on do you think is better for the price? and if i get the cheaper one how long will it be beforse i have to upgrade it do you think?

Acctually you could use this 8320 instead of the 6300 and that would be a good gaming build.

Didn't notice the 8320 there. I would go for the 8320 because it is basically a 8350 downclocked. You could overclock the 8320 and it would be the same performance as an 8350.

With upgrading, the amd build could last you a while because if steamroller comes out for am3+ you wont have to upgrade the motherboard. But with the intel build you will have to upgrade motherboard every new generation.

The only good things i see in the intel build is it uses less power.
