I would ue the FX 6300 . The extra cores count

I would use a cheaper motherboard with a 970 series chipset . The ASUS M5A97 R2.0 is the best option , and usually the Asrock Extreme 3 is the best budget option

Consider using one of Seagates Hybrid Hard drives . They give you a lot of the speed of an SSD and all the storage of a hard drive .

Only the most frequently used programs are cached but that will suit most people .
Your 60 gig boot drive is too small to be practical anyway .

Making those changes could save you enough money to afford a graphics card like the Radeon 7850 and make games much more playable .

Thank for your recommendation for the processor, HDD and Graphic Card but I still have a question in my mind that keeps echoing. It is about the MoBo that you recommended to me, could it possible to install 2 GPUs at a time? Because, in the near future I want to Install two Graphic Cards on my Board, could you please recommend me a motherboard that suites my needs and I'm very glad to know it..

The gigabyte mb is very similar and has almost the same feature set , but cpu connector is a 4 pin instead of the 8 pin used by the ASUS .
The circuitry that provides current to the processor is not as strongly built .
The gigabyte is a nice board and will work well , but it is not built as well as the ASUS and will not overclock as well as the ASUS

Hmmm... Sounds interesting. Now I know but I am not familiar with OCing and I'm afraid of it that it will toast my board at CPU Cooler thats why I am choosing a Gigabyte mobo.. Lastly, I am more preferred of an OC GPU than to OC a CPU and GPU. OCing a processor is the one of problem that I can't learn even that I tried it a lot of times.


By the way, thanks a lot...

AMD includes overclocking software . Its very easy to use . It speeds up a the processor in small steps while checking to see the temperature is fine and the system is stable . Takes a few minutes to run each step and after that the driver will give you the option to set the cpu speed as high as it was safe to do so

Oh Really?? That's Awesome.. But, is my PSU enough to handle those build or should I get a higher than 600w and go for Aerocool (Strike X) 800w 80Plus Silver Modular??

Here's the link of 800w psu http://www.aerocool.us/strikex%20power/strikex_power%20800w.htm
