The motherboard is not very suitable for overclocking . This means FX 6300 will likely bottleneck R9 280X running not overclocked . But FX 6300 + R9 280X is not so bad . As you wish.

Dude those AMD builds are TERRIBLE compared to the i5 builds. What is it about the i5 builds that you aren't liking?


If you need to buy windows, this is probably the best you can get
