Thanks I am not the most up to date on amd boards, and now that I looked at the boards again I see that you are right as to the vrm heatsinks lacking on the le.

How long do you think that motherboard will last until it shoots off mosfets? AMD is not intel, that cpu draws a lot of power especially while overclocking...

After a few months he'll be back on the forums for troubleshooting. The kaveri APU i recommended is a little slower but its brand new tech.

Are you serious? A kaveri is basically an Athlon X4 750k with a weak R7 igpu.

No offense to combine, but mine would be better for the price.

My build could be upgraded a bit to come closer to $600, but that would depend on how far you plan to upgrade the rig.

Pretty sure if he's going for a gaming rig sound shouldn't be an issue. Besides a 6300 and a 270 will easily beat a 7850k. Plus if you go with a apu FM2 build you won't be able to upgrade to a better CPU in the future.

Don't worry you won't be able to hear a thing with the case door closed. It will sound like a normal pc.

First of all its socket FM2+, secondly AMD wont release any new cpus on AM3/AM3+ so actually my platform is more upgradable than yours. On topic

My build and Razerz are both good. One is cheaper and quiet the other is more expensive but more powerful. Your choice, just don't pick the one with crappy motherboard.

Sorry, for late response, dinner and the reason I chose gtx 760 was because it will beat a 270 for bf4 slightly, and it has shadowplay for recording to get away with a weaker cpu. The amd vce has not been optimized as much as the nvidia one has and is a little tricky to get working at 60fps 1080p.

I am not arguing that the 270 is not better for the money or that I skimped on the board in my build, but I did it to fit in the budget, In all reality I say going over budget slightly for better parts would be preferable.

DO NOT get an APU. FM2 or FM2+ doesn't matter for gaming they are both horrible. Trust me I own an a6 5400k.

With FM2+ it is highly unlikely they will get any new CPU's which are actually powerful, and most likely will continue to get APUs.

OP for a gaming rig below $600 go with my build. Also don't mind the error the CPU will work fine with that motherboard.

Here's a video of how a FX 6300 and a R9 270 games:
