Not sure what RAM you're going for, but if it's 16GB (guessing from the 'x4'), just go for 2x4GB and then put the money you saved into a better CPU. The FX-6100 is old now, you want to get the FX-6300.

Otherwise certainly looks OK. :)

Sorry the RAM was supposed to be G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL

Any reccomendations for cheaper RAM?

Crucial Ballistix Sport might be cheaper and is quite good. I've used it several times, also used the RipJaws too.

They're both about the same in price:p And I'll definitely go for the 6300 thanks for that. Also would you happen to know some cheap but nice looking and effecient gaming keyboards? As well as a cheap monitor at least 20" and able to run 1080p?

I'm not really interested in keyboards, so I probably can't recommend you one, sorry.

Same with monitors really. Dell, Acer, Samsung and ASUS make good ones, have a look and see what they've got. The lower the response time, the better.

Sorry I can't be much help here. :D

I know that Razer makes some great Keyboards, might get one of them myself pretty soon.
Also BenQ make good monitors, not sure if they're too pricey or not.

Click to expand...

I got a 24" Asus 1080P Monitor with 2ms response time on sale for $130. Idk if that is cheap enough for you but it is really nice for the price!

someone mentioned antec 300/ the better one is the 302-or 300two cases

the 300 has very little room for cables, etc and seems flimsy either way
make sure you get a usb 3 to usb 2 adaptor when u get case they usually come with one.
