I really appreciate your build ferny, i made a few adjustments i'm not sure if the 760 is to compensate for not over clocking so i switched that out with a 7870 and then i took out the cpu cooler because ... i dont know why, i guess just to make the price lower haha. Also is it really necessary to buy a cpu cooler? doesn't the amd cpu thingy come with one? well here is what i put together please change whatever you think will suit better! Click here for the build
EDIT: Are $60 motherboards fine ? whats the difference between $60 motherboards and 80 - 100 ones.

Usually you just get less/worse features on the cheaper ones but they usually still do the job.

Thanks Jordan for the explanation!
Before i buy the parts can anyone else please check the new build and tell me if its good or not
EDIT: also I've been looking around at some other posts and I saw people saying the i3 is better than the and 6300 when your not over clocking would you guys recommend me to buy a i3 over a 6300?
EDIT2: Okay i was looking at Budge414's build and i really liked it so i took out the OS and added a better quality case and an optical drive. I think im just going to go with unless anyone wants to voice their opinion and recommend me something else i purchase this XD.
