Hello readers! I'm thinking of building a desktop for playing video games because I know its cheaper to just build one than to buy one. The thing is that this will be my first build and I don't know what goes with what so i'm hoping you guys can help me :) . My budget is 400-600 BUT if you really think I should spend a couple bucks more on something please say. I don't care if its Intel, Nvidia or AMD because I have had great experiences with all ! The games I play are TF2, Far Cry 3, Borderlands, Borderlands 2, Planetside 2, Fallout 3 etc. Thanks a lot x3

For the FX build if you wanted to overclock the CPU you would need an aftermarket CPu cooler. The intel i3 cannot be OCd
