Box Only Build - Need some input

Yes check this review here showing the FX series gaming performance. Phenom II is still a good processor especially the X6. I have one in my secondary computer and it will be there for many years to come.

Oof! Loud and clear

This is why I posted here you see, thanks for your input.

You're welcome. The FX 8000 series isnt a bad processor once you actually overclock them to about 4.6 GHz +. That is when you start to see gains over the previous Phenom II just due to being clocked so high in games at least. Hopefully Piledriver proves to be a contender to IB in someway.

Bought the "no-brainer" at the top of the page, will use the hdd out of my current machine and use the money from selling it on to go towards a vga card and new hdd. Happy days Almost ready for the new game!

Decided to opt for this in favour of quality components rather than having to skimp and save to afford it all in one go. Hence, i5 2500k

Yes much better deal then the 2400 with the lower end motherboard. Good find.
