So, Hi first of all.

I wanted to share with PC specs, which i will build for my dad soonly. My budget is $740 and i think that this setup is worth the price.

Asus M5A78L/USB3 mobo
FX 6300 CPU
GTX 560 1gb 256 bit Non Ti
Cooler Master MegaFlow 200mm fan
Two Enermax 120mm coolers.
Cooler Master Midi Tower Elite 310 Blue Case
Corsair CX600 ATX2.3 80+ 600W
Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR3 PC3-12800 CL9 ram
Seagate BARRACUDA 7200 1TB SATA 64MB


Guys, I am so satisfied with GTX 560, because it's price.. It's $142.99 here, and it is the most powerful at it's price. Runs BF3 on High-Ultra details and 1080p with stable 50 fps, 35-50fps during hardcore battles.


This all combined together should work fine, huh? Thanks

this is a better build here, the 760 will out perform the 560 easily and you will appreciate the added fps/vram. gave you a better HDD,PSU. basically a whole system upgrade.

i thought your budget was $750 so you could just drop the cpu down and be fine.

i have virtually the same build, and i have to say, the fx cpu is a beast. for ANY multithreaded application, it totally kicks butt and it is way fast! it auto clocks depending on how much usage it gets. when im just browsing online, there is only 1% cpu usage. it is a really great cpu. great for gameing too, because plenty of games like bf3 and skyrim are using 6 cores now and you get 10-15% better frames with 6 cores compared to 4, which is a huge improvement! good luck man, enjoy!
