This would perform quite a bit better at 650 CAD. It also includes a more reliable power supply.

Pros- nothing

Cons- The FX is old and overpriced
The motherboard sucks
The psu is mediocre at best
The 270x is overpriced




Just being honest. I want to give you an explanation on why people are totally dismissing the FX6350. The i3 is better. RCFProd's build is much better.
