I have a EVGA Gtx 960 SSC and a corsair Cx 600w already paid for but come to find out neither fit in my previous build so am looking to go ahead and replace the rest of the computer for around 200. I am welcoming any ideas, I am probably leaning towards the AMD processor because their prices are lower. I was looking into the AMD fx-6300 for the procerssor, but I am open to any and all ideas

If you don't mind spending ~$90 more you can get the latest skylake intel platform and enjoy much better performance for nearly all tasks

No, I know the i5 is alot better the budget is kind of tight and i need every other piece including the case motherboard the only things I dont need are the hard drive, power supply, and graphics card. I need the fans I need every little detail put into the expenses of the computer.
