Hello :)

I'm looking to upgrade my old pc.

i already bought a new gpu r9 270x oc gigabyte edditon. and the pc MUST be build around that GPU.

what i will reuse is my HDD 2x 1terabyte + 1 old SSD and my PSU (800watts) and my cabinet + cd-drive.

my budget is 300-500$ i want absolutely most for my money and not build around 500$ but if you guys can help with 2 options that would be super awesome :)

sorry no im not close to a Microcenter store :(

Another Question what are thge pro / cons of choosing a build that has Amd FX6300 instead ? from what i've read it should perform pretty good even with never games + the upcomming Mantle solution ?

It wont be great as i5 but will deliver resonable performance.
