Hey guys, im about to start my first gaming pc build. I'd like to do a semi budget build. I'd like to spend about $600-700. Any recommendations? I'm thinking I might start with the AMD fx-6390 hex core cup. Anyone use this? Thanks and much love to the Cohhilition!

Well the 8320 is a cheaper version of the 8350 and they are really good bang for the buck processors(the 8350 is better bined meaninging it handpicked to overclock better + its default clock speed is a bit higher).

I've actually been looking at both now. Thank you guys for the input! I'll def be going 8 cores instead of 6. The price difference really isn't that bad. What do yall think video card wise? Something mid range. Not too expensive but still delivers quality.

Go with the build i linked, the 960 is a good midrange card and if you want you coukd spend 10 more bucks for the r9 380 which has a bit more memmory. Their peformance is pratically the same

My main suggestion is to future build your machine so when u have more cash you can add on. If going with AMD make sure the case and PSU can accommodate liquid cooling because mine never work out well with standard air cooling. Get a PSU with way more power than u currently need for future GPUs.

With budget builds it's all about being able to add on later or it just costs you more later on to replace mismatched parts.
