I dont know but you can make better pc with this budget.
Also 300w is wrong maybe u cant have an FX-6300 and R7 250 with 300w PSU.

gddr5, faster than the other. the gddr3 will have to a lot, and i mean a lot, faster to cope up with a gddr5 (if i remember it right)

Quite honestly for how much this costs it's not very good. You can build this for $7 more and you could even swap the 750 Ti for a R7 260X if you wanted.

The OP will see better performance with the FX-6300 and while not very noticeable the higher speed RAM does help. That case seems okay built but not as good as the 200R. That Power Supply is not the greatest especially for pushing a gaming computer.

Here's a modified version of the build I posted. Should give a little bit better performance for $40 more.
