So im looking to make a gaming PC for when I have friends over. I need it to be as cheap as possible. Here are the parts I own that can be used

MSI R9 270x HAWK

8GB of G-Skill Ares 2133Mhz

MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard

Antec Case (IDK if ill use it though)

 

What do you guys think I should do? Im kind of in favor of selling the motherboard and going Intel but idk. Thoughts?

 

I probably prefer to buy used

Nah if its cheap then an 8350 should do fine. Although what games will you be playing?

Then an 8350 should do fine and I personally wouldn't splurge on Intel for those games.:)

Get a cheapo i5 Sandy or Ivy Bridge Dell OptiPlex and put the GPU in it. Windows license would be included in the low price as well which is a bonus.

Agreed if you can find a good deal go for it.. make sure everything works before you buy it :)
