I'll buy it from NewEgg or Amazon, but it can not be more than $90! I want one that is as cheap as possible, but wont fry my system because it was made poorly... :no: Here is my PC build's current state: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2AG9Y5PST2DQB/ref=cm_wl_rlist_go_o?

If you don't want to go to my amazon wishlist I can tell you that it will be running a FX-8350 + GTX 780 + SSD + HDD + 3 fans + Cpu cooler, but feel free to check it out and look to see if I am missing anything or if I should get a different part. Thanks Guys!
 
Question, what games are you playing? Why are you going FX 8350 over a i5?

I just moved from a FX 8320 @ 4.4, to a i7-4770k @ 4.2, and there is no comparison. The intel chip blows the fx chip out of the water in games. Considering the i7 improves over the i5 by adding threads, the gaming performance should be the same.

Expect to have a lot of games not be able to hit over 40 fps in spots with that FX 8350.

Let me show you something about PSU. Pick a tier 2 or better.

This is pretty funny, because when I was writing this post I removed a part where I was talking about the FX vs the i5 and i7, I went with the FX because it is cheaper and still offers good performance. By buying the FX I will be able to afford a SSD, and that is why! I would LOVE to get the i7 though... 😀 Happy gaming/working! (Do you think I should save and extra $150 for the i7? Or maybe a little more for the i5?

Heh, thanks! I thought I was missing something... The reason I was getting this case is because it came with like 3-4 fans, and had decent reviews on newegg (which is were I am buying it from) even though there were not that many reviews (like 4 of them last I checked) (5 eggs). But I might try and find another case, have a good one! P.S. 650w or above... got it! Thanks
 


Ooo, that Rosewill Capstone is lookin' pretty nice! I would select this as the best solution, but I accidentally selected someone else! Is there any way I could reselect?
 


Unselected Best solution for you.
 


Thanks for another great option!
