FX 4300 with a 280? Why?

I have a i3 with a 770.

 

Yolo. That's why.

CPU Could be better but looks great!

FX 4300 with a 280? Why?

Probably because of pricing

Probably because of pricing

Exactly right, at the time of the build the fx 4300 was around £50 and for the 6300 or 6350 it was an extra 40ish pounds that my friend couldnt afford, the 280 because its a fucking awesome card and i got it on a deal for around 110 pounds

Good job!

 

The 280s are fucking great value used!

 

I got my friend a used 7950 (R9 280) for the same price as a new 260x (£95)
