I looked up which one is better between the 6300, i3 and the athlon. The Athlon has the best price to performance ratio and is better for overclocking. I put in the cm cooler because the default is crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 8, 2016 Fairly good. Few things for change... Consider upping to a i3 6100. As long as you can may the small amount more for the prosessor, motherboard and ram (although at this point ddr4 is closing in on ddr3 price wise). It will give you better preformance, more future comparability and skylake bragging rights (who doesn't love that ) I get why you have chosen a single 8gb stick of ram. It leaves room for expansion. However, unless you have serious plans on doing content creation or if you are an extreme power user, don't bother. Just get two 4gb sticks. The case and power supply are fine, but that is all they are. There is not much room for expand ability because of the low wattage. I never like to reccomend cheap or included PSUs. Just check that has its continuous wattage and not just peak wattage and you will probably be fine. If you want somthing a bit better look at the corsair cx series supplies and seasonics OEM units as well as the fractal design core 1000 or somthing similar Maybe look at an SSD. Even if it is a cheap 60gb one for your OS and literally almost nothing else, it is worth it. That monitor is small. It will end up being annoying and you will want to upgrade pretty quick. I reccomend a 24" 1080p 60htz as a minimum hope I helped I'm here to help people and have fun.
