Hello,

I am a passionate gamer, especially along the FPS genre, with thousands of hours of the lot. I game on my All-in-One PC, which suffers from Low frames per second all the time. the only fix to this problem is a new PC. So i've done months of research, and found a system that suits my needs. However i am not sure, so i trust that the friendly people on this forum could help me out.
And before i begin, I know AMD isnt great but im going for budget.
Specs are as follows:

CPU: AMD FX-6300 6 Core Black Editon

GPU: MSI Radeon R970x 2gb BF4 Bundle

RAM: G skill Ripjaws X F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL

MOBO: ASRock 980DE3/U3S3

CASE: BitFenix Comrade (Black)

MONITOR: Acer G226HQLBII 21.5in LED

HARD DRIVE: Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001

(I have Windows 7 And keyboard+mouse too, but that is irrelevant.)

THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!

These two builds are literally $2 from each other, but I believe the i3 build would be a good bit better. To make the FX6300 more competitive, you have to overclock it, and to overclock it, you have to get a better motherboard and an aftermarket cooler. That obviously drives the price up quite a bit.
