I also have a wireless card for the interwebs and Turtle Beach x12 for audio.
I will be getting a Hyper 212 EVO a bit later, but just not right now because I don't plan to overclock right away.
Now all I have to do is wait. |

| I don't like to overclock because it can ruin your hardware. |

@par
I have not actually received everything yet (expect for the monitor) so I can't speak for myself.
But the benchmarks say its an awesome card. Best bang for buck.
@4lucky

Should've gone with Intel d00d Good card though. Was about to get it then I went for the GTX 980 since it'll be better and be around the same price If I just built a PC for myself. GTX 980 on iBuyPower would ramp the cost up to 2000 dollars. Building the exact same PC with a better PC Cooler, It's only 1700. |

plus the fx 6300 can be overclocked to amazing lengths since it's unlocked
although you'll need to buy a decent aftermarket cooler for that |

@Anti
then it's not worth it.
I hate coolers.
I lost my desktop from these things...
They are too risky to install.
@OP

Believe it or not,
for a guy in your age,
you are pretty bright.
My classmates don't even know what direct X is. and this tells me why people think that all 14/15 year olds are idiots. |

well from my experience turtle beaches have been okay
it varies depending on what you buy
i had a px21 headset that lasted like 2 months whilst my p11's on the other hand lasted a year |

"Turtle Beaches.."
You were talking about a head set?
I thought you were talking about literal turtles in a beach XD |

@ici
I got a Turtle Beach headset for Christmas when I was into filthy console gaming. So now I just have a decent headset for really nothing else until now.
@fdf
You need coolers.
It's something optional.
Plus most of them are a fairly easily install like the Hyper 212 EVO. |

not really. the fx 6300 is lucky if it manages to beat the i3 4340.
yes, i know thats at stock. however, the fx 6300's cooler is such crap that it would sound like a screaming banshee once you overclock so you pretty much have to buy an aftermarket cooler. however, buying that cooler negates the value you are getting out of using it |

I use an FX 6100 and a GTX 650 and i run all my games fine.
You don't need some crazy intel CPU to do stuff. |

if you want anecdotes, here's one. my mom thinks her core 2 duo computer is "good enough" even though it struggles to even keep two windows of Chrome up without huge lag.
while i'm glad that you are satisfied with what you have, anecdotes aren't really appropriate when we are comparing objective data
also i don't get why people perceive intel to be really expensive. the i3 4330 is only $138 on amazon. thats a small price to pay over the fx 6300 which has a long list of downsides compared to it. i'd rather buy a 7850k or 860k to be honest. |

| I can play most games at 60 fps at medium settings, but the cpu has nothing to do with graphical capabilities, that's my 650's problem |

" but the cpu has nothing to do with graphical capabilities'
CPU has everything to do with graphical capabilities. the CPU is responsible to sending draw calls which allows your GPU to actually work. if your CPU is weak enough, it will be overwhelmed and your FPS will drop because your CPU will be sending out less draw calls. |
