Dendrotoxin Deluxe
Dendrotoxins : are a class of neurotoxins produced by mamba snakes (Dendroaspis) that block particular subtypes of voltage-gated potassium channels in neurons, thereby enhancing the release of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions. Because of their high potency and selectivity for potassium channels, dendrotoxins have proven to be extremely useful as pharmacological tools for studying the structure and function of these ion channel proteins.

Since when did $750+ become "budget"? Let alone those pushing $1000. Shame on y'all, I can't find anything below $650 on this list!I'm gonna do a budget build, and I'm gonna do it the ol' fashioned way, with a clear $500 budget. That's a REAL budget build! Not that you young whippersnappers would know anything about that. Now back in my day, we had to build it with only 3 bucks and a dime, and we had ride the horsecart down to the general store, with twenny pouns'a boot leather and then we *begins rambling incoherently*....
Since when did 500 become budget? Shame on you Bemused_Fred, I don't see a single build under 400$, so I'm creating one, the ol' fashioned way. This isn't going to give you awesome fps on crysis with the highest settings, but that was not it's purpose, the purpose was gaming on a budget.
Ram is overclockable, so is the APU, so that should give you another extra 10% speed. SSD was tempting, but if this was budget it was not necessary. I was aiming for a 350 budget, a VERY low budget, sadly I was not able to reach this target. If you really needed to save money, don't buy a case, don't buy a heat spreader(use stock), salvage a PSU from your workplace(with permission ofc, also try and grab a monitor, a mouse& keyboard while you're at it, it happens that at my work place we have at least a dozen 5 year old computers they are just throwing away and at least fifty pentium4 and Athlon computers), and drop the optical drive. BOOM, 77$ saved, and coming closer to 300$

All these 8320 builds are so stupid. The 6300 and 8320 have no difference except that the 8320 has 8 cores as opposed to 6300 6 cores. This provides no benefit to gaming.The 8320 is 50 dollars cheaper than the 8350 and can be overclocked upto 4.7-4.8 Ghz making it on par with 8350 when overclocked.
So if someone is overclocking then he should get the 8320 and save some money instead.
