heres my build: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/b/K1f

note i will be using a different stick of ram either: http://www.amazon.ca/2x4gb-1600mhz-240pin-Unbuff-1-65v/dp/B008YAI6JU/ref= or http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313377.

Also is the stock fan going to be strong enough to stop the cpu from overheating with no OC or maybe even overclocked? Any help appreciated ! post post note trying to save money so this is a budget build

Who said anything about the 2gb version? The 1gb 7770 runs all current games fine, in low intensity settings I am CPU bottlenecked, yet I can still run PS2 and BF4 on mixed high/ultra settings. If you over clock it a bit, then even better.

You need to appreciate, with that core, you're not maxing anything, so why waste money over killing your graphics card? That socket is also limited, so its not like you're going to "upgrade down the road". Dose of reality is all im offering here. Expect medium performance, and you wont be let down when you get 10fps on ultra settings lol.

This will suit your build nicely. The main reason why I suggest getting a bigger PSU is...

The stock fan should be enough for stock speeds with a very small overclock, but will not allow for large overclocking potential. If you can afford it, the CM Hyper 212 EVO will keep the temperatures much cooler and allow for higher overclocks. If you have a bit more money, than this build is much more powerful (More than +10FPS in most games): http://www.build-gaming-computers.com/gaming-desktop-computer.html

For that core, the GPU is over powered. Save yourself some money and get a Radeon 7770 or 7750 even. This will free up about 50$ elsewhere.

Also, get a higher wattage PSU, step up to at least 600w. The cost difference is negligable honestly.

So, lower your GPU, get a better cooler, and step up your PSU.

Just my opinions based on research I've been doing lately.

Allright so i found the GTX 650 for a similar price to the R7 260x, so if its better ill pick it up instead, but how much better is the fx6300 then the 760k? Because i will have to buy a more expensive motherboard, case and the 6300 which will run me about 80 $ more in total.

The 2 gb version of the 7770 is only 25$ cheaper then the R7 260x(150$) so thats why i chose the R7, the 1 gb is about 100 $ is 1 gb worth the compromise in price? I could bump up my psu too 500 W for upgrades i guess but the total wattage is 300 W with that build so i thought 430 would be plenty

This will suit your build nicely. The main reason why I suggest getting a bigger PSU is well... more is more. If you're running at 75-85% rated power 100% of the time, its more stressful then running at 50%. Also, the cost difference is pretty damn negligable.

RAM goes on sale all the time, I would keep an eye out for ram and buy that whenever you see it for a good price.
You can piece together your system from sales if you're patient. I built my computer (albeit dated now) from sale prices, and I got a steal on most of this stuff. patience will allow you to get higher end system
