I need help with my computer build, I have already had a case and PSU i want to use but i am unsure about the rest. I want to use an amd cpu becuase the psu only uses amd i think. The mobo is my main issue, I do not know very much about what to look for in a good motherboard. I would like to keep this build under $650 maximum. I have a copy of windows 7 64 bit so that is not an issue. From my research earlier in the month, this is the best gpu I can get for under $200 I also wanted to make sure that is correct. Any and all suggestions help.

Don't get a micro setup for the FX6300.

Don't get a microATX for any FX for that matter. None of the AM3+ micro motherboards are very good. Why do you think that XFX uses only AMD? You can use any cpu from AMD or Intel with it.
