No. AM+ is a dead socket, PSU is shit and the case is nothing special.

$10 more expensive after rebates, but much better.

i dont like that case at all

Change the case then. Don't buy a case based on it's looks though, that's stupid. The case you originally looked at isn't as good as the N200, the N200 has lots of room for cable management and is built very well. Don't make the mistake of buying a ricer case.

cases are all preference though.

and build quality and features far outweighs looks.
all of our first cases were ricer cases with LED's etc, there is a reason why we all switched out to more sensible looking, but far higher quality and far more features with our cases.

He's right about it being a dead socket BUT who keeps the same CPU for more then 3 years if they game? No one. You have about three years with that CPU and board. After that it will be outdated for games. Craigyy is really negative about AMD and AM+. If you want cheap get and AMD, if you want power get Intel, but for the price AMD is OBVIOUSLY better.

That's exactly what someone who knows nothing about cases would say.

Lots of people keep the same CPU for 3 years, in fact, most people upgrade on the 3rd year of owning a component. AM3+ is already 2 years old and out-dated, there is no reason whatsoever to go with AM3+ anymore and everyone should just let it die in peace. Sandy Bridge will still hold it's own in games, against a Haswell CPU but you're not going to go with SB, are you? No, because it's old, and out-dated, the same as AM3+. No chance is that CPU going to last 3 years, especially not with Skylake coming at the end of this year and K12 coming next year. If you want cheap, get an APU. If you want a budget rig, i3. If you want a gaming rig and have a bit more money, i5. You are "OBVIOUSLY" wrong.

With the whole AMD vs Intel Argument....
AMD is still decent, for the price they are good. However for the most part Intel is the wiser choice. I say this (I have AMD FX-6300 btw) because if you are on a budget, get a decent B85 board or even Z97 board and a Pentium K... Why? Because if you get more money you can throw in an i7 without having to get a new mobo to boot.

I will still stand for AMD because although an old socket, the 8370 is a more efficient 8320 which isn't a bad deal tbf, plus for gaming, AMD is more than enough. Plus, AM3+ being older, it's really cheap right now which can mean a good CPU with no chances of a bottleneck (like G3258) at a really affordable price.
However as soon as productivity is mentioned, I will be rooting fir intel because of Hyper-threading on Xeon/i3/i7 and an overall higher per core performance.
Just my two cents.

this is a budget build, im just looking for a build that will run games higher than very low or low settings. the pc im using now runs my games at 10 or 20 fps on very low settings.
