Well considering you're not using it for competitive reason... I'd go with the better quality honestly. What games do you even play?

Anyone had or head of this problem?

So I just upgraded my Mobo to Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3. I got everything running fine like windows, drivers n such, updated BIOS to the FC version. But when I enter BIOS it won't let me click on CPU core clock speed, or anything that has to do with overclocking but I can click on everything else...

Sounds like the update from windows went through that causes an infinite boot cycle.

You contradicted yourself. You said budget gaming pc but went with intel i5 3570k. Amd fx-6300 is a better choice. 220 for a 3570k, you can sell that and get fx-6300 + asrock extreme3 for $220

680 is a waste unless you enjoy throwing a trojan magnum xxl over your epeen, all it is for is bragging rights. In honesty save the $100 and get a 670 or 7970 ghz. Both amazing and you won't be disappointed.

Like tiny voices mentioned, drop down to an AMD CPU then get a better GPU. You went with a beast CPU but went cheap with everything else. In the end it won't perform the way you see most i5's perform. If you're not looking to SLI/XFIRE, this am3+ mobo would pair very nicely with a FX-6300...

I've never really thought of getting a single AMD card, I've always read that single Nvidia out perform AMD. But when it's Sli/Crossfire, AMD will win always. I will have to look into the hyper evo 212!! My friend at work has one but like I said I've always like look of the watercooled systems...

As mentioned in the title I'm looking to upgrade my PC. My current pc I purchased from iBuypower almost 2 years ago. :p (Did not know much about pc's and didn't do any research) Should I not even bother upgrading my PC? I play WoW, Bf3, Cod, Tera, Gw2, Dota2, random steam games, and multi tab...
