Hi, i'm 13 and i'm rebuilding an old dell inspiron 530 (c2d e4400, foxconn g33m02, 6gb 800 mhz ram, etc..) I already bought a rosewill ranger m case and a corsair cx 430 and for 20$ got the msi 4gb gt 630 which I am upgrading to the summer to a gtx 660 or 7850. Anyways, I just saved up 210$ and I am getting a x4 760k, GA-F2A88XM-HD3, 4gb pny optima 1333mhz. The total is 215.96$? Is this a nice setup? Will it all work together. Also, I think the cpu is fm2+, and fm2 cpus do work on fm2+ right (not the other way around, though). I also just found a 2tb external hdd (wireless) and ripped out a 2tb wd green, so I'll be all set once I get my cpu and mobo. I was going to get a fx4300 but then they ran out of stock, and anyways, next Christmas i'll buy a new i5 and some nice asus/gigabyte motherboard, but i'll see then. Also, with my birthday money, I'm planing on buying a coolermaster haf 912. Will this cpu bottleneck the gpus I talked about? Is this a good mobo. Understand my 200$ budget (i'm 13!)

You don't need that pricey a board.

However, it's all fine. Though I'd look at a new PSU when you go on to replace the GPU.

Also, you might want to consider an FX-6300 and a cheap AM3+ board. That should last you for a while, so you can put off getting the i5 and a new board. Or you could get an LGA1150 board and a Pentium.

Hi! I could save some money on the motherboard, but amazon hardly sells any fm2 micro atx boards (I only buy from amazon.com or amazon warehouse deals because of amazon prime) What would be a good cheap board? Also, I am panning overclocking 200 mhz when I get my new gpu to rid of any bottleneck. The board seems pretty high quality and looks pretty nice. Also, tons of features for future upgrades.

Stick with that board. Overclocking is fun and all, but 200mhz is not going to make a noticeable difference in anything. It also will not bottleneck a GTX660 or HD 7850. As stated above you will need a bigger better psu before upgrading your video card.

Hi. The cx430 is not sufficient for these cards? It provides sufficient voltage on the 12v rail and both card only require one 6 pin power connected. Maybe even the 650ti will be fine? Is it bad for the psu to run under full load? If it dies, what could it damage? If nthing, I wll wait for that and get a cx500 or 550 or maybe even some 600

Sorry, I meant to say amperage, it provides sufficient amount of amps. Excuse me, typed in a rush.
