So heres what I have so far, 

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/omaralkha/saved/#view=Rrxj4D

 

Its a 50 bucks more than what i want it to be (500), is their a way to bring it down a little bit atleast without sacrificing much.

 

Im going to use it to play games like, gta, hardline, gmod, etc. I would love to play them in high settings above 40 fps. Im also going to use the pc to edit videos

 

So what should i change? tnx

you could probably remove the cooler and use stock for now. when you got some money perhaps buy the 212 evo. much better for the price.

Not much could be changed without sacrificing the graphics card.

I have an 8320 with the stock cooler it works alright for me.

Don't bother with that cooler, maybe try to get the GPU used for like $130.

 

That being said, the 970A-G46 is not a very good board for the FX chips. The minimum board you should really be considering for long-term reliability and future overclocking is the 970 Gaming from MSI. @Faceman knows more. While FX isn't the best choice for gaming, the budget won't allow for more and I understand that.

If you know what you are doing then yes, but if you are OCing your cpu you will need a better cpu cooler.

U could get a fx6300 instead of the 8320. You won't be losing that much performance...

I have almost his exact build and would recommend this setup for a lot overclocking as long as you pick a better cpu cooler such as the cooler master hyper 212 evo

<p>Wish I could have this already!! : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qTLRjX

The case comes with an adapter for usb 3.0 to 2.0. If you'd want usb 3.0 speeds for the front ports, you can get a different motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga970ad3p
