I would like some help finding the right components

 

My budget is 400-450 dollars after the case

 

Thanks

so you just need a mobo, CPU, and RAM?

$165 CPU

$70 Motherboard

 

$90 RAM (DDR3 1600)

 

Total = $325, spend the rest on booze.

 

 

If you want to go a tier up though:

CPU $285

Motherboard $165

 

Total $540, over your budget a bit but a massive difference in power.

Yeah, it's what I suggest to most people.

 

What case do you have? Normally I'd just suggest this heatsink though, it's a classic:

You're fine then, that's plenty of airflow.

 

Also, for good measure buy some artic cooling thermal paste if you don't have any.

[Gunner412]
