Hey my friends, DylanT here. With another question for the AMD 6300. So I've been creating a build for my upcoming computer. Here (I am just copying and pasting on what is on the website)

VIDEO CARD: AMD Radeon HD 7750 2GB GDDR3 16X
PSU: Corsair CX600 600W 80 PLUS BRONZE
MotherBoard: CrossFireX] GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P AMD 970 Socket AM3+ ATX Mainboard w/ On/Off Charge, Ultra Durable 4 Classic, 7.1 Audio, GbLAN, 2 Gen2 PCIe X16, 3 PCIe X1 & 2 PCI
Case: Cooler Master Elite 431 Mid-Tower Gaming Case
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.50 GHz Six-Core AM3+ CPU 6MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology
Cooling Fan: AMD Certified CPU Fan & Heatsink
================================
So those were the componets I have now in the build. But I have been thinking of changing it to this: (The other components that aren't listed in the 2nd build are going to be the same)

Case: Apevia X-Dreamer4 Mid-Tower Gaming Case
Mother Board: [CrossFireX] ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AMD 970 Chipset CrossFireX Support DDR3 Socket AM3+ ATX w/ 7.1 Audio, GbLAN, 2 Gen2 PCIe X16, 2 PCIe X1 & 2 PCI
Cooling Fan CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo Gaming Cooling Fan

Here is the computer: (FROM THE FIRST LIST) http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1FH1TN
2nd List: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1FH1U1

Which one do you think is better?

(AND BY THE WAY I AM REALLY NEW TO THIS SITE SO IF I POST THIS IN THE WRONG TOPIC PLEASE DO NOT HATE ON ME :C) Please help I Don't know which one to choose. D:

Second one is better, but oh my God, don't choose PSU as CX corsair,because CX has lower quality than other PSU, choose other but not CX series, plus you could choose at least GPU as 7770 or 7790.

yes because motherboard is am3+ that is good for your current cpu, you motherboard is good for the GPU,because gpu will work on pcie 2.0 and pcie 3.0 (that doesn't make any difference actualy only 1 fps loss). The cooling is good enough though if you are looking for a future overclocking then i would go with a stronger fan

I am not going to overclock in the future at all. And how is the Case good as well? And is the motherboard just for overclocking? Is so can I just switch back to my previous mother board?

If you're not planning on Overclocking , you don't have to buy a CPU cooler. There's already one that come with he CPU.

And I don't think Corsair's CX series PSU are Rubbish. They're not the best but they're good enough if you're on a budget.

And the HD 7770 is better than the HD 7750. Furthermore , the HD 7770 qualifies for AMD's " Never Settle Forever " promo where you get to choose a free game such as Far Cry 3 , Sniper Elite v2 , and Deus ex.

and I don't recommend doing Crossfire. you'll get many heat issues.

Nah, when I saw that comparison the 7750 sucked it. So the 7770 is my choice. And Then I get a

[CrossFireX] ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AMD 970 Chipset CrossFireX Support DDR3 Socket AM3+ ATX w/ 7.1 Audio, GbLAN, 2 Gen2 PCIe X16, 2 PCIe X1 & 2 PCI. for the mother board

And the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo Gaming Cooling Fan

And the 600 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Certified Power Supply - SLI/CrossFireX Ready (SLI/CROSSFIREX are motherboards. Its not asus ready? Im really confused.


And the Apevia X-Dreamer4 Mid-Tower Gaming Case

Am I correct? Saying again I don't want to overclock in the future so do I have to rethink about the fan and the motherboard since they both support Overclocking?

And I do want it to be below $700. This is my first time getting a gaming computer and I want it to be perfect instead of a bust.

I already have a monitor and the OS will be windows 8.1 which they will be installing for me. And the others have already been covered. All I need that I am concerned on is the PSU,Motherboard,and case
