Posted December 3, 2016 Hey guysSo, I've been researching for a month to gather all of this hardware pieces and now I think that I'm pretty sure that I've come to a really good gaming/programming rig. What do you guys think I should change? P.S.: Since I am an student, I am in a real tight budget, if you could take that into consideration would be pleasant.

Posted December 3, 2016 You could actually just run a FX-8320 and OC it up to the 8350 speeds to save about $30 since they're the same chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and get the 6500 if you can, as if not get the i5, because you're going from 2 physical cores to 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any suggestions of case fans, cpu coolers,and spray paint I should use?
