Thanks thats a really good build!! but would it be better to get an intel 4460? or the 6300?

 

[madmatt30]

If an amd build let's you drag a 960 in over the 750ti then it would be my choice - the 750ti is weak full stop.
The board in the 6300 build is sketchy though - id never use it - you also want an aftermarket cooler no matter how cheap.
