- Budget: 600ish
- Zip Code or Location: Phx, AZ
- Specific Use: Movies/streaming, some games(nothing too crazy)
- Any preferred components?: usb 3.0, hdmi, dual monitor support
- Any spare parts you can re-use?: No
- Overclocking your processor?: I prefer one that could be overclocked, isnt a deal breaker though.
- Need an Operating System?: No
- Need a Monitor? / Mouse? / Keyboard?: No
- Need a Wireless Card or Adapter?: Possibly
- Need Another Component? (Specify): a nice hdd, maybe ssd as well.

i would prefer an a series amd build, I would like my motherboard to support 32 gigs of ram, i wouldn't require that amount of ram at first. Just want something that i can upgrade. If its a really nice build i might be able to add a little more to the budget. I just really dont want to wait for my taxes.

Comes to $612 after rebates, I would also invest in a cooler for the CPU as well.

Does not have USB 3.0

cos you said u want something you could upgrade in the future,
and fx CPU + gpu is much more powerful than the APU + gpu.

Alright. So the 8320 would be the best bang for my buck? Saw someone post about the 6300 and overclock it?
