Hello everyone,
I am currently living in Thailand and I'm looking into building a new gaming PC. I have to buy everything (pc, screen, windows license) and would like your advice.
My total budget will be around 800$-1000$, but I'd rather not max my budget unless it gives a dramatic improvement.
I decided to go microATX as I will have to move around and it should be more convenient, and will probably buy the cooler master n200 case as it seems nice (and I definitely need to start making actual choices after hours of browsing for parts
After reading different posts and reviews, I decided picking an FX 6300 cpu (http://www.computeandmore.com/productlist.php?id=2563) as it seems to be the most cost effective for gaming but I'm afraid I will have overheating issues because:
- I am using a micro ATX case
- the temp in my room is generally around 27-30°C
- this cpu is made for oc
I am starting to wonder if picking the cheapest intel i5 I can find (i5 4440 http://www.computeandmore.com/productlist.php?id=3106 ) would be a more convenient solution and would sensibly decrease heating issues.
So my question is, should I go for the FX 6300 or the i5 ?
Thanks !
