I can also raise to $450 but I like to stay as close to $400 as possible. I'm a first time builder so anything else will do. Games I will be playing are starcraft 2, skyrim, battlefield 3(haven't gotten 4 and probably not yet), and lots of other rts strategy games.

Well I heard that cpu is a good start for a budget gaming pc. If you know other choices better with the same price range and performance that can play the games I listed then I would gladly take too. Also I've looked through the forums and saw some good pc with this cpu but a little too much for me so I want a pc build that is my range. I don't need an os,monitor,keyboard, and mouse as I already have those.

There will be people saying the FX-6300 is better, than there will be others saying the Intel i3 is better. Personally I'm on the same boat as you, I'm not sure which is better. I'm stuck between http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/Yw2JTW and http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/pY94Jx because of so many different opinions. :(
 
yeah that's around $550.

The intel i3 is actually better, because games like powerful "strong" cores over 6 weak ones. This is also the reason why everybody buys intel core i5s instead of i7s for gaming rigs (in general).

$450 is very low, so i might have to step down the cpu even more. but ill see what i can do.

Will this build http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/pY94Jx run CS:GO, World of Warcraft, DayZ, League of Legends and other demanding games? I don't mind playing on LOW graphics.
 


That's euros not dollars, that is about $600. And if you can afford that kind of rig, probably around high settings 1080P.

The currency is GBP, I'm from England. I'm not the OP if you're mistaking me from him, I'm just in a similar situation :p
Sounds good, thank you.

Can I play the games I listed with that with 30fps+ at 720p? Now black friday is coming up here and I will probably get it on that day. So if I was to wait, what is the chance of the parts to get discounted and total up close to $450 based on Friji i3 build?
