Hello everyone!
This is a build I have spent a good amount of time deliberating with myself about and I would love everyone's feedback!

I would like to play games at high and ultra at 60fps/1080p (as does everyone), games like skyrim, deus ex:human revolution, BF3 etc.
I am going for bang for the buck with this build. My questions are these: is the motherboard going to be good for future over clocking of the FX-6300? and do ya'll have a recommendation for a good value for an after-market cooler? Other tips and critiques are welcome!

Thank You!
 
Solution
1) The build is good, once you bump the GPU to a R9 270X, about $10 difference.

2)The motherboard isn't very good for OC. Get a 990FX.

3) Grab yourself a H100i and you'll have one of the best coolers out there.

Would you mind elaborating on what you would suggest? I'm always open to suggestion!

 
Wow. I am an "Intel Fanboy" by definition - and yet 3 of the 5 computers at my house are AMD.....If you want top end performance - AMD can't compete.....you want budget performance Intel can't compete. The AMD FX-8320 processor is comparable to almost any Intel Core i5 without overclocking....and the price is about 33% less....

You will always have fanboys on both sides raving about one over the other.....but reality is both are good....quality and performance. To me, it is all about performance for the money....You don't buy a Ferrari to drive on a golf course, and you don't buy a golf cart to drive on the freeway....
