This is my last real decision on the pc build I'm deciding on doing and will everything be compatible trying to keep it under 1000 dollar for budget purpose's but yeh let me know.

I want to use this for gaming like Metro Redux and Borderlands the Prequel. Plus some recording on the side.

Sry kind of want to get the 770 because of the borderlands the prequel plus like the c70 case.
 


Alright if thats what you want. I would still recommend making the jump to the 8350
 
Solution


Why?
 
Better architecture and just overall its much faster than the 6300. The 6300 isn't a great card unless you seriously over clock it and that gets dangerous / reduces the card lifespan. Use a 8350 and switch to a hyper 212 evo, water cooling isn't a necessity for this build unless you wanted it for some reason.
 


HUH? 6300 is a cpu.
