You can get a GTX1060 or a RX480 rather than a 960.

Replace the intel stuff with an amd fx 6300 or similar, as some games will not longer start on <4 threads.

The 960 you have on the build is $225 and a RX 480 4gb is around that price or even a 470 if you want to go cheaper.

Please no! The i3 poops all over the FX CPU... Sad truth.... 

[PCGuy_5960]

And BTW, the i3 HAS 4 threads

What? The I3 has 4 threads. Why would you replace it with ancient tech?

A i3 destroys a 6300...

Uh no, don't get any AMD CPUS. That's a big mistake I did. Get an Intel whatever you do.

Sorry i got confused with pentium and i3.

You can always paint the GPU to match the color scheme...

Just don't recommend AMD CPUs for gaming oriented PCs

So your choosing a little bit of green over much better performance,K

True, we must again turn our back on AMD due to cpus from 2011

Same one as the one i recommended with AMDs reference cooler = runs hotter/louder

It's a single stick but your motherboard only has two slots so there is room to upgrade to 16GB.

I am talking about the current CPUs... They are old... Zen is very promising, and I would recommend a Zen CPU for gaming.... An FX-6300 might have a slight edge in Multithreaded applications, but for gaming the i3 is going to offer better performance than the FX CPU... It's a fact...
