hello i'm new 2.

1 first dont use CAPS.
2 you'll get a lot more help (its a lot easyer to see) by using the basket plug in

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...wer/empfloiadabicdlgahhamannadefhehj?hl=en-GB

that the chrome one. not sure what brower you are useing.

since you pick those bits and used the word overclocking i'm assuming you know very little.

A motherboard with H in the model number means it can't overclock. you need either a p67 or z77

that is the cheapest i3 ivy bridge cpu going i think - would not use it. Also you need a k series processor to overclock and an i5. also the price for an i5 k series is like £150+

I have seen budget AMD build last week at this price point, i will go through my posts and find it

YOUR BASKET
1 x AMD Piledriver FX-6 Six Core 6300 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail £89.99
1 x MSI 990XA-GD55 AMD 990X Chipset (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard £79.99
1 x Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" Generation 3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (PV38G160C9K) £49.99
1 x Thermaltake Smart 530W '80 Plus' Power Supply £49.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £48.95
1 x Xigmatek Asgard Pro Gaming Case - Black £32.99
Total : £366.00 (includes shipping : £11.75).



This build requires you to get a used graphics card, something like a 5850/6850/6870/460/560/560ti would be ideal, would probably cost around £50 and put you slightly over budget.

Click to expand...

I could make this build cheaper, to allow more for the used GPU, but it would be less future proof.
 
 
OK so I've now changed my mind and i am going to go with AMD like you guy's said so i was wondering if i go with the (AMD A10 5800K Black Edition, S FM2, Virgo Core, Quad Core 3.8GHz, AMD Radeon HD 7660D 800MHz) can i introduce i graphic card later on or will i have to go and get new cpu and gpu so can some one please enlighten me on the matter or and if i can introduce a gpu what would be best to go with this chip cheers:D
 
for your budget i would prob go for the AMD A10 build

The AMD A10 APU will work together Crossfire with another graphic card so you would not lose anything by addeding later

add a second hand 6870 if you need it.
