people always half ass it with a psu when building their first pc

and they always end up having to buy a new one

I already know I am going to go over my budget xD

It always happens.
I only wanted to spend $900 on mine.
Didn't happen.

dont bother with amd cpu get an intel better bang for ur buck

uhhhh its the other way around
2x-3x the price but not even twice the performance
intel processors are work based processors aimed at industry jobs not gamers

That is pretty scary.

Vouch

This, and with a $600 budget I do not have $250+ to drop on the i7

as stated before I have already bought the fallowing

AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
Biostar A960D+ Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard
G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB Video Card
Corsair CX 430W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply



If anyone knows of a good modular psu at about 500-600 wats lmk. I don't think that 430W is gonna do the job and I am probably going to return it, but I do not want to break the bank on a new one..

I still need a case and hard drives, so case recommendations are also good, and I am on the fences about buying a 128 GB SSD to toss in with my mechanical hard drive.

da fuck are you talking about have you checked benchmarks at all theres a reason amd has shityt processors and is pulling out of them. they cant compete
