Hello,

last months I've been picking parts for my first build, the problem is my budget is getting a bit stretched.. at first I intended to pay 700 euro's now it became 870 euro's...

I'm only 16 so I have a job on the saturdays. I have to split the amount I earn for my drivings license.

I could however kind of avoid this problem by going AMD FX8320 and Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0. But I really want to be able to upgrade and the Intel i5 4670K with MSI Z87-G45 is upgradable with i7 4770k.

We are talking about a lot of money for me 😛
 
The FX8320 will game as well as any of the intel options and is a lot cheaper so stick with that .You should be able to overclock it to 8350 speeds even with the stock cooler . Easily .

For your motherboard I suggest you save some money . The ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Or M5A97 EVO will give you the exact same performance at a fraction of the price . The only limitation of using a 970 chipset board is that you can only use one graphics card .... since you cant afford two that shouldnt be an issue
