Why the intel is better ? Dual Core  vs Six Core ? This is the overclockable version but for overclocking stock cooler won't do the job right ? 

Edit: Dual Core 3.2 + 8GB 1333MHz RAM is better than  Six core 3.5 + 8GB 1866MHZ RAM.... I'm really confused

Ramspeed actually dont mean shit for games TBH, and the intel supports only 1333mhz (up to you if you want faster ram price is almost the same ) and the intel perform/core is way better and it was cheaper.

Its like the I5-4690k 3.5 4 core VS the FX 8350 4.0 8core the intel is gonna outperform the fx in MOST cases not all tough due to performance per core (intel is stronger/faster) for example

What you also could do but its not in the budget tough is:

 

Intel G3258 + Noctua DH-14 cooler for 210e to overclock ( cant say what clockspeed you could reach and still have a 2 core )

or

Intel I5-4690 with stock cooler for 199 and not overlock ( and have a 4 core with 3.5 - to 3.9 turbo) also supports 1600mhz ram.

Let's agree to disagree

Soo... something like this 

http://nikem-bg.net/cart/51396p1r49180p2r1002p1r1002735p1r2050p1r2064p1rf.html ? (at first without the gpu and only 4 gigs of ram and the i will add the gpu and 4 more gigs of ram)

Edit: I think I will stick with the FX-6300 and maybe the R9 270 2GB GDDR5 what do you think ?

Get whatever you want man, even 2 260s is fine and i think i told you performance didn i?. 

 

Just dont do mineral oil nasty stuff. :D cheers

:D I will go for now with FX-6300 and will upgrade later to FX-8350 if the 6300 doesnt perform well 

And no mineral oil :D

well this i was afraid of. as soon as you will get your PC, next cuple months you are allready shelling out for new parts. 

sorry man, but i dont support that, waste of money and time. 

 

And also 8350 and mATX mobo is a bad idea. It may work if you dont overclock, but its still cutting it close.

 

So, plan and build at your own risk Im outta here.

Can YOU suggest me a PC for $400-$450 ? I mean you have something in mind to say that so lets hear it... I just can't see better configuration for this price

overclockable i5 ( 4670k or 4690k )

z- mobo accordingly to cpu choice

cheapest branded 8 gigs of ram, its good to have heatsink but if its much cheaper, it doesnt need to be. 

HDD

cheap but good case. idk what prices are, but something like nzxz source 210, coolermaster elite 430 corsair 200r corsair spec-01 or similar that allows 16cm coolers

xfx 550w psu

1 youre forgetting the GPU

2 budget is 400 - 500 MAX

A i5 K processor AND a Z97 board will be at LEAST 350 and with a low - mid gpu hes looking at 500 fast ...

No way in that budget ( wich is around 880 for a decent setup )

I agree in my situation there is no room for Intel (it is just too expensive) so...  Only AMD left on the board I think I will go with FX-6300 and R9 270 maybe

Yeah it is going to be hard with R9 270 

Great Mobo I was thinking about  GA-990FXA-UD3 but I think I will go with your suggestion

The RAM... I think I will start with 4GB and add 4 more later because here 4GB are 80 bucks 

This PSU is not available in my city... But Corsair CX500 is and EVGA 500W 80+ is available too..

http://nikem-bg.net/cart/47524p1r1002p1r1002735p1r51347p1r45432p1r2050p1rf.html - how is this ?

So that it my build this is the best one ? Is it worth it to use the integrated GPU on the mobo and wait a little bit longer and get R9 270 ?

So better to spend 20-30 bucks more on corsiar ? I mean is it worth it EVGA is 96BGN and Corsair is 126BGN ?

Corsair, Cooler Master, Evga, Sea sonic, NZXT, be quiet, antec...pretty much anything from any of them isn't going to just crap out on you.
