Hi all, I want some advice on this build I'm doing mostly about the cpu, but any other advice would be appreciated. I'm thinking about switching the 845 with the 880k is it worth it? Again any other advice is appreciated. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/DanteV8/saved/y8XHxr
Edit: I should mention that the case and psu will not be changing as I have them as leftovers from someone else
 
Solution
Here, I took a stab at making your money go a bit further for you.
I upped the GPU and CPU and platform.
Also replaced 2 TB HDD with SSD.
You may or may not already have an SSD and just need the HDD for storage...

Solution
I would not build with a amd cpu for gaming today. The cores are just too slow.

I suggest a I3-6100 for $125, a H110 ITX motherboard for $55

Always buy a 2 stick ram kit for dual channel operation. 2 x4gb of ddr4 ram should be $35.

Corsair CX is not considered as reliable, tier 4 on this list:

Look for tier 1 or 2.

430w is ok for a GTX960, I might go stronger like 500w.
Seasonic is always good.

Look for the upcoming GTX1050 cards. They will cost less than the GTX960 and perform better.
