Unless money's a problem you'd probably do a little better spending a little more for something a bit more powerful.

 

Which games are you planning on playing and how?

 

I'm a complete advocate for cost-effective builds but I'm not sure that build will run the triple-A titles on high settings, if that's what you're interested in.

hey guys,I am from India.MY budget is around 650$.Parts preferably from amazon.in or flipkart

if you are not OCing

 

the i3 4130 + B85 board will do the trick

 

bump to 8GB RAM

 

find different model of PSU like the CX500

I am coming from a core 2 duo.SO I needed atleast a quadcore processor but the i3 is 2cores+2 threads and HERE THE FX 6300 IS worshipped.iT HAS GOT EVEN 5 STARS.

ALSO the minimum psu recommended for r9 270x is 600 watt so I bought the corsair 650watt.IS it not good???

At this time 8gb ram costs as much as an fx 6300.Would 4gb suffice.I will buy it when the prices fall a bit..

The parts you chose will work together well. As far as aftermarket cooling, I went with the Cooler Master D92 for $47 (USA) because I have the AMD FX-8350; the D92's earlier version, the N520 from Cooler Master will also work fantastically with your FX-6300. The N520 is $34 (USA) on Amazon.com, but if you feel like you need the D92, it is $47 (USA) on Amazon too. Anyways, good luck!
