Any suggestions?

[Bigbootyjudy]

I am building a pc for under $600 dollars ( U.S ). I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ways to cut the price?

It's a wee bit over budget, but this is very good

(if you want to lower the price of the system under 600USD, then replace the 480 with a 470)

or this for a more balanced system

I forgot to mention that I want to try to stick to the core v21 case and amd processors

a little bit over-budget but you dont need to upgrade the gpu later

Comunity on this forum won't pick AMD CPU if you have more than 500$ budget.

And that's with a reason.

 

Why would you like to stick with AMD cpu?

I don't really know, It might be because I've never used intel cpus before. 

[Bigbootyjudy]

I would try intel but I want to stick with the core v21 case

I like the shorter form factor and just the way it looks

Well it's up to you, other members just suggested you build for same price, but much better.

i3 6100 is 30% better than your amd cpu: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-FX-4350-vs-Intel-Core-i3-6100/2880vs3511

i5 6400 is 45% better: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-FX-4350-vs-Intel-Core-i5-6400/2880vs3512

 

When it comes to CPUs, Intel is best choise. Unless you are doing some build under 400$ budget.

I revised my list a little even though it still uses amd

Don't use AMD if you can afford a modern intel processor. they haven't released a CPU in ages, so all of their CPUs are weak

 

I would recommend this: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/2HTVBP

It's very balanced, and only a tad above budget. if you want to get it to exactly 600USD, go down to 8GB of RAM, and upgrade it to 16 later. it also has an upgrade path, so if you have more money in the future you can upgrade the CPU to a kaby lake i5 (intel's new CPU generation)
