Maybe there's a sale on the fx4300. If the fx is the same price get that instead it's somewhat better when overclocked.

interesting point here i might add you 2 builds although i will tweak your AMD option, if you use a quad core instead of the 6 core FX, you might have abit more for the GPU
and darn heavy discounts for the AMD GPUs so should be able to get some good deals for the mid tier cards.

As I stated I have no idea on AMD, the reason I picked the FX-6350 was that according to the results they had it did better than an I3 at stock clock speeds, while the FX4350 matched at stock speeds and only surpassed after overclocking. Quite a few people are not willing/knowledgeable enough to be able to overclock safely so that is why I chose the FX6350 over the FX4350. (In addition to this from what I have been told by acquaintances, the stock heatsinks from AMD need to be upgraded inorder to overclock and that would add to the overall cost.) The Phenom didn't match the FX4350 until it was overclocked and I based my recommendations upon the performance of the I3 as I know that it can play the game at a decent framerate. I am just stating the reasoning for my choices.

Thank you for considering my suggestions for your guide.
