So I want to make a PC to take to epicLAN and Insomnia in the UK I want it to be as cheap as possible I already have a mother board and CPU which is the FX-8350 and Msi 970-G46 it only needs to run light games such as CSGO this is what I was thinking http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/wK7J99 has anyone got any other recommendations?

*incoming V300 hate*

well, as small as possible would be my recommendation, but the ATX board doesn't really allow for that. looks about as good as you could get (I assume you have a HDD)

It needs to actually run CSGO lol like I said I already have the CPU and motherboard.

 

You can run CS:GO at 4K on a 960. At 1080p 60hz you don't need a dedicated GPU. Why you bought half the PC before asking for this kind of advice doesn't make sense, you overspent massively. As far as gaming performance goes your 8350 isn't even better than the i3.

You do understand that I already have the 8350 and a motherboard right? like I have said in the past 2 posts and me spending money on a new i3 and a motherboard will cost more than me just getting a dedicated GPU that will run it WAY better than integrated graphics any way and I don't understand why you are talking about a 960 and i had the parts form an old build and I know that an i3 has better per core performance than any fx CPU maybe you should read over the original post.

You never said they were from an old build, it looked like you had already bought those before asking for advice on the rest of the build.

 

It shouldn't need explaining, but the point of brining up the game's performance at 4K on a card as meagre as the 960 was to highlight how graphically demanding it isn't.
