I live in Australia, this build price comes to the limit where i can't spend anymore. I just need to know if this pc will run fine. I plan on playing MMO's at highest graphics like ESO or Guild Wars 2.

Please just tell me if it will work really well and tell me if something might go wrong or it wont be good enough.

It depends on the game really. Some game developers still don't optimize their games to run on more than 4 threads, even as of lately, Thief is an example, it runs much better on 4 threads Intel CPUs than on FX chips. Online multipliers may optimize an even lower number of cores/threads so they can even get a bigger performance hit from lower single threaded performance. For other games like BF4 and Crysis 3 the FX-6300 can show advantage against the i3 because of its higher thread/core count. Also because of its superior single threaded performance, the i3 will feel "Snappier" in every days tasks. The FX-6300 will have the edge with multi threading though although how much of an edge it has depends on the application and how well...

I think an Intel i3 build will be better for online multiplayers. FX single threaded performance is horrible in comparison and from what I read these games are quite CPU dependent and not that well multi threaded.

Ok, well I play alot of games, it just that i would play more League, Guild wars 2 and ESO more than anything else. Do you really think an i3 would be better. I have seen an FX-6300. It works buetiful, ultra graphics playing ESO.

The FX-6300 will have the edge with multi threading though although how much of an edge it has depends on the application and how well threaded it is, for an example an application that switches between single threaded and lightly multi-threaded loads will probably run faster on an Intel i3 platform. The i3 consumes less electricity and produces less heat as well. So depending on your needs/ what you prefer you may find either of the tow options more suited to you.

That build looks fine to me, no bottleneck on gpu or anything. For Mobas and even other games apart from stuff like crisis 3 and metro on ultra at 1080 this should do the job. If anything maybe get a asus m5a97 r2.0 mainboard, but only if you can spare the extra few $, but should be fine, as you say it's a budget build, I would go AMD myself, but that's just personal preference. Also you'll probs need an after market cpu cooler for that 6300, maybe a coolermaster hyper tx3 or hyper 212 evo, :D as the other guy said tho, single thread performance is gonna be better with the i3 but I wouldn't say it's going to make a massive difference to you.
