PSU is a Sirtec/Sirfa built unit. Not the greatest, but it will get the job done. On a review site, the 700W model got a score of 8.4, so this PSU should be pretty decent.

Kinda junk SSD and bad HDD. Also, since when has the i3-6100 been better than an FX8320?

For this budget a 'kinda junk' SSD will do betetr then no SSD at all. And Seagate has been manufacturing excellent harddrives for over 30 years.

Since haswell the i3 has been better than virtually any FX if looking at single core performance, and also performs at least the same at most multicore games/applications, except those that are heavily threaded, for example video editing. Most games/applications still use 2-4 cores, so this is why the i3 is better. Also, with the i3 you have a good upgrade path for the future, with AM3+ you don't have any future upgrade options. One viable option to choose an FX is if you are going to heavily overclock it, which would put the system in the range cost of an i5.

That's crap. FX8320 = Haswell i5. Saying even a pathetic i3 is better is just total crap in nearly all aspects. And what did you say about Seagate? Their drives have died in my experience more than any other brand; yes, even one of the Hitachi Deathstars I have owned since it was new is still alive with 30K hours and may OS installs, while a Seagate laptop drive died in 3 weeks and a Seagate 500GB drive died in 3 years with a pathetic 7 thousand hours. Also, this is for their 3TB drives, buy they have been sued for bad drives before....

So 2 drives breaking down on you means it is a bad brand? Seems a bit subjective to me.

If you have doubts about the FX versus their intel counterparts, look up some gaming benchmarks. It's not hard to see why a 3 year old CPU barely holds itsself up to an i3. And by the way, the haswell i5 literally crushes the 8320 any day.
