Challenge: Build a good gaming computer for under $475

[gerr]

Question...does the build also need to include an OS, speakers, keyboard, and mouse?

Overclocking the FX 6300 will make it better than the i3, yes? So that makes the 6300 seem to be the better choice, but what about upgrades? The i3 has a much better upgrade path. Although the i3 only has 2 cores. So it really comes down to the more expensive i3 with a good upgrade path, or the less expensive more powerful but worse upgrade path 6300.... What do you guys think I should do?

that my friend is down to your choice - the i3/6300 debate will rage on forever

But 6 cores rather than 2 makes the 6300 a better choice for games like Garry's mod and counter strike, yes?


Are there any mobos that support 6300 and i3?

I'm getting OS from somewhere and I already have speakers, keyboard, and mouse... So, no.
