$650 Build - AMD FX-6300 / GTX 960 / Antec One

We worked with Amazon to put together a budget gaming build. Unfortunately due to issues outside our control we were delayed in getting hold of some of the parts. So this build video comes a bit later than we had hoped. In any case, we hope you enjoy the build anyway.

AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P ATX AM3+/AM3 Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
OCZ Trion 100 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Asus GeForce GTX 960 2GB Video Card
Antec One ATX Mid Tower Case
Rosewill 450W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Keep them coming, never tired of watching builds and get knowledge from you guys. *thumbsup*

[pauliusorentas]

Thank you guys, was waiting for it for a while. well done !

I watch you putting the AMD stock cooler on the card, remember my sleepless nights of listening to an 85 decibel F1 engine for over a year before I had the good sense to get a real CPU cooler, and die a little inside.

[jeewon.]

please tell me how i get a job makig youtube videos of me putting pcs together

[joelrenteria]

Can you guys at pcpartpiker start to do benchmarks on these builds

[xversed]

I would adore building PC's together for a living

[Lovo]

That cable So sexy O; Can't wait to start my next build. AMD for the win! But I'm thinking 8350 or 9590

[johnc]

gigabyte suggest using the 2, 4, ram slots for dual chips.

[Trauma]

This is a very good tutorial video and can you make a video on installing the bios/windows/drivers stuff after assembling the pc because I'm not good with that and it's the only thing keeping me from making my own pc,

[Psicough]

That's almost the build that I'm saving for.

[kb]

it would be better if you guys explain and justify your choice of components (i.e. why u choose this core, motherboard, GPU rather than the other components)

[CDMYHM]

Really stock heat sink? Should put at least a 212 evo n that chip to keep it cooler.

[JRcheesburger]

This build is actually super cheap right now! Only $565!

Will a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 4GB still work in this build? (as oppose to the Asus GeForce GTX 960 2GB. Sorry this is my first build and i am very much a noob at this and in the pictures the 4GB version looks bigger. Thanks for your sick build!

[whazaanow]

Great video! This is probably something I'm going to go for, as PC parts are way more expensive here in India for me to go for something better :( should be good for 1080p gaming though!

[Alnocent]

What about the *ASUS M5A97 R2.0* or the Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P its better (?

[thomas-]

Would an MSI NX GeForce 8600GT 512 mb GPU be compatible with this motherboard until i have the money to upgrade to something better? I also have an older 420Watt PSU already ( from my 1O years old desktop)! I would it do fine or do i have to get a new one?

[extzy]

if i am gonna buy all those components can u tell me what case do i need to replace that one from the video .... i wanna replace it with a case with blue led fans

[zeHatWearingMan]

Just a quick question, how do you install the OS if you don't have a optical drive and the operating system is on discs?

[russsle]

Why did you use the 970A-d3p motherboard when you couldve used the 970A-d3sp for $5 less? the only difference i see is that the d3p supports am3 and am3+ while the d3sp is only am3+ but the fx6300 is an am3+ CPU so it doesnt matter right? am i missing something?
