Posted August 21, 2015 Z11 is a HORRIBLE case. FX-6300 is a HORRIBLE processor for the money. Sorry man. I personally dont think the z11 is a horrible case. Check my z11 thread Aytex. It has a decent amount of fans and good airflow, however it lacks in watercooling support by default and doesn't have a lot of cable management by default. However this being said you can mod the case which is a lot of fun and really make it yours and in my opinion it has a very unique style that looks cool. If you want something that will be able to just throw things into without thinking about it, maybe try a NZXT Phantom(the original not a 410) It has a lot of room as it is a full tower case. And please do not get an i3..... If you want to get intel go with the pentium g3258 aniversary. It has 2 cores and is FULLY unlocked for $69. The i3 will be more expensive and will offer less performance once you overclock the pentium, it will still be on LGA1150 socket so you can upgrade to a better processor down the line and not waste your money on an i3.

I've owned the Z11. It's terrible and very flimsy compared to other options. An i3 is much better than a pentium as it has hyperthreading. blackshades on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 21, 2015 I've owned the Z11. It's terrible and very flimsy compared to other options. An i3 is much better than a pentium as it has hyperthreading. You wont gain much with the hyper threading, and since the pentium is unlocked and can easily hit 4.5GHz plus, it will perform better in games. Not only that the i3 is double the cost. He might as well save up and buy a better processor and use the pentium in the mean time.

Not only that the i3 is double the cost. He might as well save up and buy a better processor and use the pentium in the mean time. Hyperthreading helps A WHOLE LOT with only two cores. General usage and gaming was still up there. You need at least a $100 cooler to reach 4.5Ghz on a Pentium. blackshades on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 21, 2015 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VkI06zjJo0M This was overclocked to 4.8 on a hyper 212 evo. The g3258 is an overclocking beast and even on a $30 cooler it can hit 4.5 + and if he gets a better cooler he can use that to overclock his i5 or i7 once he gets it vs using all that money to get an i3 with a stock cooler then still having to buy a better one down the line anyways Archangel(z11 Build) CPU: Ryzen 7 1700 @ 4.0 GPU: 2x Sapphire R9 290x RAM: 16GB GSkill Ripjaws V 2800 Mobo: ASRock X370 Killer SLI/AC Power Supply: Cougar CMX1000 Case: Zalman Z11 Plus HF1 Storage: 120GB Intel 520 SSD, 1TB WD Blue Reptile(Dual G34) CPU: 2x Opteron 6172 RAM: 32GB DDR3 1866 ECC Mobo: Super Micro H8DGU-F Power Supply: Seasonic SS-660XP2 Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro Storage: Hitachi Ultrastar 7k300 3TB White Knight:(wife's build) CPU: A10-6800k GPU: MSI 7970 Lightning GHz BE RAM: 8GB HyperX Fury White 1866 Mobo: MSI A88x-g43 Power Supply: Seasonic M12II 520 Case: TT Commander Snow Edition Storage:1TB WD Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 21, 2015 you are right except for the cooler part cause a 212 evo will get it that far and farther depending on the silicon lottery I could see 4.2Ghz on an evo... not really 4.5Ghz unless you get real damn lucky. blackshades on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 21, 2015 I could see 4.2Ghz on an evo... not really 4.5Ghz unless you get real damn lucky. the g3258 can overclock to 4.2 on the stock cooler just ask anyone that got it for overclocking fun on here Spoiler My system is the Dell Inspiron 15 5559 Microsoft Signature Edition The Austrailian king of LTT said that I'm awesome and a funny guy. the greatest psu list known to man DDR3 ram guide i got 477 posts in my first 30 days on LinusTechTips.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
