No point in buying a processor thats 2 generations old - especially when you can get the newest one for $10 less.

Do you not need RAM, PSU, or Case?

i have stick of 2x 4gb ram, a no name 700wat psu or a 550 antec psu
and i probably just need the cheapest case i can get, dont want to spend too much on it

and about the cpu, which do you recommend? i plan on overclocking in the future

will this actually be alot better in comparison to my build, they are about the same price
also, ssd doesnt really matter right? friends were telling to get a samsung one, might just switch that out from your build



also will this motherboard be good for overclocking?

yup the shit he posted is better than everything you had in your link.
the mobo is hella cheap right now and gg for OCing too, better buy that shit before it sells out.
and ya ssd don't matter much, just pay $20 bucks more for it if you really want samsung over crucial.

so this is what i have so far, probably going to be order parts tonight, how does it look? any more suggestions?
might look for a slighty cheaper case, also my friend told me i would have to order fans separately for the case?

Looks good. Although, if it was me, I would spend $30 more on the case and get an Air 540.
