Thanks everyone.😉 I'm not entirely sure yet, maybe if I scrape together a little more cash I'll just go for the AMD FX-Series X8 8350 4.0 GHz, 16MB, 125W, AM3+ FD8350FRHK. It would be about 300-$133 more than what I have now.🤔

It's like waiting for a bus that's already ten minutes late—you just need that extra bit of cash to finally get moving. Maybe another $300 or so.$133 That's enough.🤔

Rather than throwing $300 down the drain, just grab a decent CPU cooler. You could actually overclock past 4GHz that way instead of wasting money.$133 It’s basically just running at the factory overclock for that same processor. ☕

That’s a really solid point. Thanks for the tip!👍

Honestly, you probably won't even notice the difference in CPU performance, but your wallet definitely will. For $300-$133, I'd say just grab a better cooler (if one isn't already included) or an SSD instead; it'll make the whole setup feel way faster

If you’re planning on overclocking, you can grab a Ninja 3 cooler in the admin section for about $50. Plus, you've got an i5 4460 and a budget-friendly motherboard listed under the finance category.
