Good to hear. Thanks!

I would consider the AMD A10 for a budget build.

This build also assumes you're gonna do some overclocking.

I'd would consider the AMD A10 for a budget build.

Which A10 model would you consider? Is it because of price or performance? Both?

Edit: The only A10 model CPU's I can find are the 5700 and 5800k. Both way over the price of the g860.

Probably A10 5800K because it alleviates you from having to get a discrete GPU on a budget build.

I'll consider it. I haven't looked at AMD much, so i'll need to do a little research into the intergrated 7660d vs the 6670 and the temps its going to run.

Even with the cheapest decent parts possible a10 build is over budget

Slitghlty over yes. I always seem to have 2-3 cases in my closet unused which I can refurbish for some use or otherwise some old systems that can be cannibalized:/

Watch this though! Just offering some food for thought, I still like the Intel build, nothing wrong with it. Just offering alternative http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv60r_cS8kw
