Here is my build, and as you can see, my current mobo choice. It says my mobo won't work with my GPU, and so I need a new AMD compatible mobo that will run the best with my specs, for $90 or under (since I'm already over my budget.)

 

Also, I know this is random, but if its possible a mobo thats all black or black with some red is best since my PC is black/red themed.

Jeeze, is it that bad D:

I would give it a 3/10, cause at least you picked a solid cooler, harddrive and RAM.

I'm sure the guys here on this forum can help you to build a much better performing PC :)

What are you using this build for? Gaming? Streaming?

We can do better than this for $650, I promise you.

He gave you the best possible build in that range. 

It destroys your build in every way.

This is coming from a 8320 owner that wants to upgrade to a 4460

i5 6600k | EVGA 980 FTW | Z170A PC Mate | 1TB WD Blue | 240GB SSD Plus | NZXT S340 | EVGA 600b  | Dedotated 8GB

if its black and red themes why do you have a blue case?

Change out the SSD and the i3 for an i5 - honestly, apart from a few games that require a ton of CPU horsepower, the i3 is very good for the price in games. Certainly better than an 8320E. You can also overclock it a little bit. Do what you feel will be best for you at the moment. Others found room for an i5, which is more powerful and will reduce CPU overhead significantly.
