I am in Canada. that means I have to pay 12% tax on it lets just say My final amount should come to $300 not over so realistically $280-$300 like around there no more then $300 because of taxes please.

If i were you i'd keep saving until i could afford an Intel CPU, by that time both Nvidia and AMD will have new GPU's out

Just watch YouTube play-through's of games that are running ultra and it will inspire you to hold out for a PC that doesn't so closely resemble a consoles specs

with $280 - $300 budget do you think ill be able to afford a pascal card?.... tff lololl i wish

Is that $300 CAD or $300 USD? You won't be able to get to the best price/performance with 300 CAD but will with US.

 

Either way my recommendation is to wait for the new generation which will give you better performance for your dollar. While you're at it, your power supply could use an upgrade - Thermaltake is known to make unreliable power supplies save for the most expensive products. As in actually a safety hazard.

 

This power supply will handle the FX-6300 and any GPU up to the 390 (which means every next generation GPU also) for $70 CAD.

You linked all the series and now the 430B appears at first click , though the 520 W verison would be plenty, depending on the GPU model, he might need an adaptor for a 2nd 8 Pin plug.

OP, for perspective

 

 

Oh my, I forgot about the lack of that second PCI-E connector on the 430. The 520 will do just fine.
