I would honestly recommend building your own, it's cheaper and you have complete control. I can help you with that if you want.

If I had to pick from this list, it would be the second one.

- The 750ti is much, much better than the R7 250
- The FX-6300 is good enough for almost every game in existence at this point in time. 6 cores.
- You only need 8GB of RAM for anything other than video editing and other specialized applications
- I have that case and it's awesome. It is by far the best case out of all four. Maybe not best looking for you, but the bets in terms of strength, cable management, etc. It's a $120 case.

Unfortunately, the reviews section is what I find suspicious. They seem too good, not a single review below 5 starts, and not a single person complains about the annoying front cover for that case. But, this is the kind of thing you have to deal with buying a pre-made computer online, which is another reason I recommend making it yourself. I did, and it turned out well.

That's my input.

thanks for the help yo, and i original was looking at the intel one cause i heard intel is better for gaming, its only 4 cores but its single core performance is better, heard that from some website but is that true? or is it just a very small difference?

and im eventually gonna build my own but i want a decent one 2 get me by for now :)

>>7 This is an interesting point. Does Intel have better performance? Let me say it like this, as a summary: Intel has better performance, but not $50 better performance. You will pay a premium for the brand of Intel when you buy their products.

The FX-6300 is good enough to play games, period. People play Battlefield 4 with it, Crysis, etc. If it really isn't pulling through, you can overclock it since it's unlocked by default. More important is your GPU, which is why I chose the third. The GPU has more impact on your gaming performance than your CPU does, in most games.

I have an AMD CPU, an FX-8350. I have not had any issues with it. I would get better performance with an i5-3670k, but I would not get the $50 better performance it would cost me. Well, it's not worth that to me, anyway. I paid $195 for my AMD, the i5-3670k is $260. Is that performance boost worth $65? Well, if it's worth it to you, then you can. But, I don't think it is.

tl;dr - Intel will give better performance, for a lot more money. You are correct, it gives better single core performance, less heat, less power consumption, etc. The FX-6300 will not cause issues, it will be the GPU that is the weakest link.

K, ya so AMD is the better bang for the buck, well im gonna probably get the one you recommended but since AMD does use more power will i need 2 upgrade my power source or will the stock one b good enough? and when i do get around to making my own, is there 8 core the best one they got at the moment?

FX-6350 user here. Get et.

decided im gonna buck up a lil bit and getting me a custom one from ibuypower and just wanted 2 know if this set up will work all together or not or should i change certain things out for something else and if its a decent price deal, but this build is almost at my max budget, but here it is:

Azza Armour gaming case
or
NZXT Source 210 midtower (not sure which case yet)

AMD FX-6300

AMD Radeon R9 270X 2GB graphics card

2x4GB GSkill Ripjaws MBram sticks

ASRock fatal1yt 990FX killer Motherboard

500watt Corsair CX500 V2 power source

1TB hard drive

This is gonna run me around $950 but im also get alot of stuff with it:
Gaming keyboard and mouse,
turtle beach headset,
McAffe antivirus,
2 games,
blue-ray,
some LED red lights,
and inproved heat sink adhesive stuff and pro wireing

is this worth the price tag or close 2 it?

and is this a good set up and will everything work with each other?

actually going with a Corsair Graphite Series 230T Gaming Case and a FX-8320 processor and was going 2 go with a Gforce graphics but the 270X i have seen in every top 10 graphics cards of 2014 or bang-4-buck and the general same price as a 750ti :) damn im reading 2 much and my head fills like its about 2 blow lol but is this a good idea? this new build (with lots of other stuff, keyboard/mouse, OS, games, etc.) is running $998 total now and just under my $1000 budget :)
