The fx 6300 is the best for the money. It's ony about $20 more and the 6 cores is better for rendering than either of the other 2 cpus.

In some places the 6300 is $5 more than 4300, making it a no-brainer. $5 for double the L3 cache and two more cores? SOLD! lol...

And then the 8320 is only $25 more than the 6300.

You should stay away from psus with a voltage switch. You can also typically find 80+ bronze for the same price.

The PSU was recommended. And it is made by a reliable brand.

So the i3-3220 is out of the question. I have a budget of $430 Including Shipping. Can someone give me a build other than mine that fits within that budget. Without a Hard Drive.

Sure it's reliable but you can get better for a similar price.
