Could you huys help me, i don't know what to get with the FX-6300. My budget is £350 MAX. I will be using the PC for Gaming and school work because i'm 14. Also, I will be regularly be updating the components. Preferably in the build I would like a 1x4gb stick of RAM so later I will get another one.

I would get the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 over that Asus 760g. It is a better board and looks like it costs less too.

Thanks again, Blackbird! I don't need an optical drive and don't you think i should get a 1x4gb stick of RAM and add another one when I have enough money?

What do you think?
 


My build had a faster gpu, a better motherboard and 8gb of ram
 

I personally think you should, btw 2 sticks activates Dual Channel Memory fyi.
 


I will get another stick lster because I am really tight for money
 


Ok, cool. Soz for the late reply, i've been really busy with school.

Crucial DDR3-1600 240-pin DIMM vs Corsair DDR3-1333 240-pin DIMM. They're a couple of pence apart
 


I would but i'm on a really tight budget, possilby during the sales in december if the prices go low i will buy a better mobo
 


I would get the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 over that Asus 760g. It is a better board and looks like it costs less too.

Yh, i'm probably gonna get Gigabyte anyway. Accidently chose yours as solution. Around Christmas is the best time to buy the parts right? Anyway, i'm off to watch some Fairy Tale :)
