RAAL4 got a reaction from ermu in Is 750W PSU overkill for my rig?
You can get a decent 650w psu for $50 so if the second hand one your looking at works I would go for it, opens open your computer for some higher end hardware down the line

RAAL4 got a reaction from Bigheart in Which one would perform better?
buy the single card, SLi/Crossfire is only for higher end gpus, most games aren't even optimized for sli/crossfire
so go with the single card that costs as much as the dual gpu
a GTX 960 is a pretty good budget gpu

RAAL4 reacted to Icebonez in How long will my custom built PC last?
So basically the general consensus is don't get an AMD for gaming? I figured that from the start but after reviewing some benchmarks they looked pretty solid, but guess not lol

Don't get the 9590. Don't do it. Don't. Do. It. Stop.
OK, now that that's out of my system
With the 9590, probably not that long. I suggest going with this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3s62qs i5-6600k and a Z170 board.
Bulldozer is a bad architecture (what the 9590 is.) The per-core performance is bad, even at high clock speeds, and games run pretty bad. Look up some reviews and you'll see what I'm talking about. The i5 will actually perform better than the FX.

For the love of god don't buy an FX 9590.

Generally 120mm AIOs aren't worth it, an air cooler is usually a better solution.
Just refined the build a bit with a better PSU and cooler. Added a R9 Nano because I think it suits a compact build like this quite well:

your liquid cpu cooler works just as good as a noctua, unless your getting a dual 120 rad, go with a noctua air cooler.
and since its an mini case i would go with a low thermal GPU.
i would also wait for the pascal series gpus to come out if your going for higher end gpus

r9 390 has more performance in gaming
gtx 970 helps with rendering/plus GeForce experience
Its all down to you
