This is my first post, although I've been using Tom's Hardware a ton to make my first build.
Here's my conundrum. All I have left to buy is the CPU and mobo. I was originally planning on buying the G3258 and paring it with a Z97 mobo. However, I've read the G3258 can't even run games like DA:I and FC4, both titles that are important to me.
I've been considering the FX-6300 as an alternative paired with an Asus M5A97. I don't really know what I'm doing though so I'd love some advice. I do have a bit of a tight budget, I don't want to spend more than $220 if possible. Here's my build so far:
PowerColor R9 270x 2GB
Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 8GB Kit 4GBx2 DDR3 1600
Corsar CX500
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Antec GX500 Case
