CPU: AMD Fx-6300   -- $105 - 110

No problem :-). If I can suggest a next upgrade for parts you already have though I would suggest a new GPU. The 1 GB of VRAM may limit you in games at 1080p with texture resolutions on the rise.

 Yea that is the next to go, I'm personally thinking about getting a 970. The build I have now is absolutely atrocious... Athlon x64 4400+ (2.3 GHz), Gb ddr2 and an old re-purposed hdd lol... I cant wait to have fresh and unused parts.

I feel your pain :-). I started with a prebuilt hp and part by part making it a real computer. Nothing wrong with that method!

 

970 is a great card btw. Built a PC for friend with the Asus STRX version in it and he loves it. For me, I'm waiting for the next "_70" Nvidia card.
