well, you should probably say a budget.  

 

Because I'd recommend the 5960X cpu, that $1,000 cpu is a good cpu.  If you want one more best bang for the buck you should probably tell us your budget.

Well, it of course depends on your budget... but for $70 the G3258 is an excellent buy. FX-6300 for $110. (Big jump here), 4690k for $235, and 4790k for around $320. Just some ideas

Small price to pay vs laying around at home going from sort of sick to full blown emergency because of not being able to afford visiting a doctor. I'd much rather spend more on tech than going years without medical care.

Is it that critical overthere? The health insurance plans are that expensive and not worth it?
