Posted May 9, 2016 Don't touch any AMD cpu. Stay away from the 3258. If you can't afford a quad core, get an i3 with HT. Don't waste money on an aftermarket cooler. The stock Intel is fine since you won't be over clocking. I had a fan seize up on an i3. It didn't over heat. I didn't even know the fan was dead until I opened the case. It wasn't over clocked. If you have broadband, buy SSD. Even a 240gb will do. Only install games that you're going to play. SSD will blow your mind. Stick with the 960 and skip the 380. The PSU in that case won't be enough to handle AMD cards safely. Specially if you over clock. I would wait on buying the gpu tho. You might be able to get a 970 for $250 a month from now. I'm guessing the 960 will sell for around $150, 950 will be the hundred dollar gpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
