First build with new parts!

[the ginger gamer]

Alright so this is not my first build, however it is my first build with new or semi new components. I am super happy with how it cam out and i tried to build it with room for upgrades without actually have to make just about an entire new pc in order to upgrade which was an issue that i ran into with when trying to upgrade my lga 775 pc. So anyway a little background info about me, i am a YouTuber with both a tech channel as well as a gaming channel, i am in high school and so i needed to keep it semi cheap. Also something else to mention was that I only got into computers about a year ago and have since do not much else in life other than research computers. So anyway let's jump right into this:

CPU: Alright so being a YouTuber and just in general i need something that would be great for multitasking, so i know in performance the i3 and fx 6300 are super close but as soon as you start to do some multitasking it really excels. I have actually been able to compare it to my friends cpu and i'll be honest just gaming they are very close but when ever we start multitasking he doesn't do nearly as well as i do. So it is safe to say that i am super stoked on the performance on this very cheap cpu. Also by sometime between Christmas and July i should have an 8350.

MOBO: Ok so i am not to happy about this mobo but it isnt all that bad. However i am going to complain a little about it. 1. Only has sata 2 which will bottleneck the performance of ssd. 2. No usb 3.0 header so now i have no case usb ports. 3. No sli which is something i kind of hoped to do. But it is still decent and so i am still pretty happy with it.

Gpu: Alright..... not super happy on this component. But for $60 i cant complain to much. I got it refurbished and now have fan issues. However the performance is actually not very bad it out performance my friends gtx 650, very slightly and i got it for half of the price as he got his for. I am hoping to have a new gpu by Christmas and it should be some where between a r9 270x and r9 290.

Ram: It's ram..... not much to say. It does its job. But fairly soon i might get another 8gb due to a lot of editing, but then again it isn't very necessary.

PSU: So although this is not the psu i originally intended on getting, i am really happy with it. It Does its job and is really quiet. I know i did not need 750 watts but i do plan on getting some very power hungry components.

Case: This case is really really good. The only downside is that i cant upgrade to another mobo size because it only supports micro atx. But the build quality is awesome and it can support a lot considering it is only matx.

WINDOWS: I Got it for free and is better than windows 8.

HDD: I got the blue due to money issues. However i do intend on getting a crucial ssd some time fairly soon. But it was cheap and has a decent amount of storage so that's good.

MONITORS: Currently i have a acer 900p 23" monitor, and another acer 900p 20" monitor . I would like to get some new 1080p ips dell monitors but that isnt super necessary right now.

Alright so that was a lot of typing and don't think many people are going to read all of that but it was worth it. So anyway guys if you have any questions or comments definitely let me know because i would really like to hear what people have to say about this pc! Thanks for looking! Oh and i do planning on oc'ing but i need to get a new heat sink first probably a hyper 212 evo. Alright now good bye.

This should be in the build logs sections :3

Looks nice though really clean cable management

Specs? Also belongs in build logs, but great anyway.

lol at the guy leaning to get out of the picture.

This machine makes me sad for the use of a MicroATX AM3+ motherboard.

 

They use weak onboard components and therefore they aren't exactly reliable, especially with higher wattage CPUs on them.

Oh good lord, that 24 pin sleeving job is terrible.

First of all, you want to get rid of that stock cooler.

I know i plan on getting a hyper 212 evo and the oc'ing my cpu.

Oh good lord, that 24 pin sleeving job is terrible.

I know but that is actually how it came on my cx750m

Thanks and sorry i forgot about that lol

Specs? Also belongs in build logs, but great anyway.

Specs are in description but it is a fx 6300, 8gb corsair ram, cx750m, corsair 350d, asus m5a78l-m usb 3.0, and gtx 460

so far i haven't had any issues and the tdp of the fx 6300 isn't that bad.

If any issues arise, they wouldn't be immediate. They would occur down the line.

just wondering, do you have any references to MicroATX AM3+ mobos being poorly built? or are you claiming this based on bad experiences with one or two units?

Don't listen to him/her. From what I can see you're running an Asus M5278L-M. It's got good reviews on Newegg, all-solid caps and a good, reputable company that makes it. It's not just going to die.

Good on you for grabbing the 212. That thing is insane.
