i still think the older build is better in most cases that unless you are adding a dedicated gpu

Re use the GPU from your old build, and make the new build around an Athlon X4 860k.

 

[torknor]

so i should cancel the order and go with something else it seems....4am bad ideas

Yes, cancel it if it's not too late. I can post a build if you give me a budget.

around 350 i just need cpu ram and mobo and a cooler. i need a new psu too but that can wait

yeah that seems alot better what would be a good cooling option? i was thinking about geting one of the corsair water cooling kits. ive used to be up on all this stuff but its been a wile THANKS FOR THE HELP!

 

[RazerZ]

You don't need aftermarket cooling for either one of them. You could use the stock cooler and be perfectly fine.

If you did want to add a cooler, you could look into a cheap budget cooler such as the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. But again, it's not needed.
