MOBO choice

Here is what I am planning for my system I, but I still need a motherboard and PSU.

Amd 6300

Gtx 960

G.Skills 8 gb ram

WD Caviar Blue 1 tb

 

 

Those are the main components and suggests for MOBO, PSU and Case would be nice. I am trying to make it a budget build so price is very important.

If it's gaming go for an i3 with a 280 instead because i3 has better core performance and most games won't utilize 6 weaker cores like the 6300 also AMD budget motherboards are generally bad while Intel's cheaper motherboards are still decent also a 280 is cheaper than a 960 has more Vram and is equal and slightly better

If you insist with the FX6300, then as budget, something like the MSI Gaming 970 or as a little more premium Gigabyte GA-990FX-UD3
