Amd Fx-8350 Gaming PC

[CrookedFingerss]

I am looking for a pc build involving the Amd Fx-8350 processor for around $800 NOT including the OS, keyboard, mouse, or monitor. I am going to be mostly using this for recording for youtube and live streaming on twitch. I will be playing games like minecraft, league of legends, and alot of steam games.. Whats a good build around $800 keeping these things in mind?

at $800 range does not make sense to go AMD CPU.

Decided to go with a 770 because Nvidia's Shadowplay might come in handy. Sadly, couldn't fit a 970 in the budget..

Why not?
He can get an AMD 8 core for less than an i5, and then spend the saved money on a better GPU.

i am all for competition but AMD just is not a good option at this price range read the reviews you can do this with an i5 that will dominate that amd 8 core easily

The MSI G43 , G45 , G46 all have poor power and very poor thermal designs , should never be fitted with a FX8320 or 8350.
