i was debating getting an intel cpu but looking at benchmarks from various different websites it seems i would pay 2x as much for only slightly better performance.

Even at 4.5ghz, the FX41XX gets embarrassed in gaming by a stock dual core 3.1ghz i3-2100. GHZ has nothing to do with performance anymore, it's all about architecture.

If you want to build a budget gaming machine, forget the FX41XX and go with a i3-2120. Mobo's start at just $59 and are upgradable to Ivy Bridge.

♦ first you should change this cpu with any intel i5.
♦ second no need for 750 watt psu unless you want to crossfire. (600 watt is enough)
♦ make sure you know the length of the gpu to see if it will fit into your case or not.

=congratulations you can play any game in ultra @1080p ;)
