I REALLY don't recommend building a NEW PC today using 4-5 year old AMD parts. For around $10 more, you can have a MUCH better performing i3 6100 on a newer and better platform with much more upgrade ability.

Through in a better case too.

Isn't the 6300 still better than the i3? Also I was pretty much getting the case for the window and all of the fans.Thank you for your input though, I really appreciate it. I guess it's back to the drawing board. Ill take your advice.

CTurbo · Aug 12, 2016

No the i3 6100 beats the entire AMD lineup including the 8 core FXs in gaming. Your case wasn't bad, but the N200 is AWESOME and $29 is a GREAT price for it.

CTurbo :

Ill take all of your advice but do you have another choice of motherboard. Isn't the graphics card good for overclocking.

Yes the 960 typically OCs well
