Now, the only problem I see, or I guess its a problem, is that the details say the grpahics card require a minimum 500watt power supply?

The CX430 is good enough for that build and AMD gives those PSU recommendations with garbage units in mind.

Since today is the 7th and the promo has expired, the FX4300 is now the same price as the FX6300, so get that instead.

Is the FX 4300 better than the 6300?

The FX6300 is the FX4300 with three core modules instead of two.

The FX6300 is significantly faster.

Alright. I'm waiting on my next paycheck, and figuring out what to do with my money. This build may not be purchased for another week or so, but I'm getting a basic idea. I upgraded the graphics card to a 2gb version, seeing as it was only an extra 10$.

How much of a difference will that make? Also, will I be able to overclock the 6300 ?

In most games at 1080p, the extra VRAM will have little effect, but in the future and in more demanding games, it should improve performance.

And yes, you'll be able to overclock it if you buy an aftermarket cooler, but the motherboard that was recommended to you (Asus M5A78L-M/USB3) is a no-go for overclocking because of its lack of a VRM heatsink.

Well, I still have about 3 weeks to go until I'll have enough to build this thing. I have a couple of tickets to take care of first. (No insurance and expired tag.) I got my ticket a DAY after it expired. >.> I also have a few DL's coming in for my console so maybe some games will hold me over.

Won't all this inflate the price? I recommended a cheaper board so I could fit in a better graphics card. Same with case.

If you count rebates, the price won't be much higher.

Then I say he should go for it.
