I have no job, im 16. I spent a very very long time saving up for my last build, I asked all sorts of community's, only bought parts with good reviews, and I messed up. Bad.
Ive been finding that tomshardware forums is the only community willing to answer my stupid questions and hand me the bad news, which just proves all of your experience.
Here is my current build that will live a short life for numerous reasons.
Case: thermaltake commander (snow edition). This case gives room for one fan. The motherboard is too close to the top.
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43. This board is the hottest part of my whole build. It drives me insane
Cpu FX6300 - giving me false temperature readings, and it has a noisy stock cooler
which fooled me into buying two $20 case fans.
PSU: corsair CX600M. I thought this would be the only good part of my build, until recently it has been giving me problems, and someone shown me the tier list.
GPU: GTX960 I like it, but its weighing down the pci slot and bending it, I cant find a solution for it.
RAM: PNY 8GB, it works fine, except for the fact that I stupidly paid 80$ for it at best buy.
Are any of these parts salvageable for a new build? Should I just use it and let it die? If so, may someone please direct me to a trustable $500-$600 budget build? Are my parts already damaged from my psu thats been screwing up lately? Google is what got me where I am right now...
If reccommended/possible I have $80 to replace parts. Im thinking maybe replace the case and psu, but I cant find a good combo under $80.
