It would be good, if the HDD's price was included.

Whats uneven about it, also what do you guys think of this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/76GbTW

This is also a good build but you could pay less for a cpu and will still max out that gpu the 270x is not in need of a powerful cpu
for the amd the 6300 is fine for intel the i3 4130 will max out that card

 

[coolcole01]

then spend the extra money on something that will make more of a difference all around like an ssd or a slightly more powerful gpu

Its suppose to be $50 , i guess its sold out

So your saying i should get an i3 4130 and get a way better gpu

 

[coolcole01]

Hell yes

 

[coolcole01]

In the future when the i3 starts falling behind you pop in an i7 and away you go

Sounds good, can you recommend me a motherboard

 

[coolcole01]

for 49.99 this is pretty awesome

Do not listen to anyone that says an i3 is better. i3 does not even come close to touching the 8350 in benchmarks, much less alone in gaming. 8350 will prevent other types of bottlenecks in the system, as well as being able to go 4.2+ on that cooler.

 

[coolcole01]

Show us the benchmarks cuz the higher i3 cpu almost match the 8350 in most games that's why the cpu hierarchy exists. Wonder why these i3 cpus are on the same level as the 8350.http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html

I'm tired of arguing with people time and time again about this. Hierarchy lists are bogus and show us nothing other than chip quality. more cores, the better. 8350 will get more frames in almost any situation. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fx-8350-vishera-review,3328-14.html

as you can clearly see, the i3 isn't even on the charts. This claim of i3 being better than top dog amd processors is bogus and should be put to rest.

 

[coolcole01]

here you go compare to the 8350 all you want you will see that the i3 is extremely capable
http://www.hardcoreware.net/intel-core-i3-4340-review/1/

 

[coolcole01]

the statement in the conclusion you should pay attention to is
f you are building a system that is primarily for gaming, the Core i3 4340 will allow whatever video card you use to run at its full potential – there is no need to step up to a Core i5 or Core i7 CPU. The same could not be said for Ivy Bridge Core i3′s, or any AMD APU or CPU we have tested. Newer games seem to be even worse off, as Assassin’s Creed IV would only run at 60 FPS steadily with a Radeon R9 280X when either the Haswell Core i3 or Core i5 were used.

 

[blue_smoke]

Yes. Correct. I was just stating that there's another option. Many people don't even look at amd because right off the bat they think its s***. Sorry if there was a flame war -.-

yes. i3 is very capable. i may even use one in my next build for heat reasons.

all im saying is if you got about 25 bucks more you could have 4 more cores.

 

[coolcole01]

dude i own a few amd builds and they are good but if its just for gaming there is no reason to buy a more expensive cpu regardless i am just about the best performance for the price regardless of maker period

2 strong cores with HT > 8 weak cores

For gaming, The only AMD CPUs that should be seriously considered are the Athlon X4 750k and the FX 6300.

(though the 8320 would be better in video editing and such)
