    I'm currently running an i7-4790k being water-cooled by a Corsair H80, overclocked at 4.6 ghz.
    Totally recommend, but it is expensive. AMDs are monsters in overclocking, but they heat as hell. I had a FX/8350 and it was a volcano, didn't work out a lot for me.


    edit: Here, just so you guys don't call me a liar, or something like that.

    Get an i5 4440/4460 if you can. FX 6300 only has 3 modules.

    Playing with a 1366x768 screen is a pain in the ass. You should upgrade to a 1980x1280 screen, in my opinion.

    ... Omg I am having a mental breakdown
    YOU SONT NEED LIQUID COOLING YOUR MOTHERBOARD CANT EVEN DO HEAVY OC
    Also 32g of ram? Lmao wtf it really looks like you watched a video on YouTube and went off to buy stuff 32gb of ram are more than likely never needed (specially for your system specs) if I were u and had that extra money to spend I would go back to 16gb but make it 4x4 for better results
    Or just spend to extra money towards ur CPU which would be the smartes

    It was an also dumb decision to get rid of the SSD idk what ur rlly thinking

    The six core won't really make a difference against an Intel 4 core except that if you rendered with your CPU it would have SLIGHTLY better times
    But I hope you are planning on rendering with GPU rather than CPU u already got the am3 socket compabiloty so maybe just upgrade it to a FX 8350 since u would probably mess up if u start over again

    (Fitting all of this in one so people don't say I'm farming)

    First of all, I picked 32 gb of ram to save 16 for other pcs I will be making.
    Second off, I am really stingy about my computer getting overheated. I know that I don't need the liquid cooling, just feel it may be necessary for future upgrades.
    Third of all, the six core WILL help for my intensive rendering and editing.
    If you would like to change up the list, then go ahead. I will look at it and tweak it to my liking.

    Horse power on the 6 core will come close to a regular Intel quad core and like I said it will give you slightly better rendering times and you should probably render using ur GPU rather than CPU anyway and please describe "intensive" Sony Vegas and Adobe premier pro aren't intensive if that's what Youll be using , something intensive will be something like cinema 4D which still gives hours of rendering for 13 second clips, pc won't ever overheat unless you are playing in a very hot room and OCing the fans in the case + the CPU cooler should keep your build at regular temps

    Also it's better not to buy the other 16gb and use that moment towards a better processor

    I won't edit your list since I find it to be Erm nice term not experienced

    But I already have 2 lists of my own that you can take a look at if you want still not sure why you removed SSD btw

    http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jkbb/saved/LzTG3C

    A more budget friendly build I did

    http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jkbb/saved/xWKzK8

    As you can see both builds have a higher PSU supply than needed explanation for that is I chose SLI supporting motherboards which will allow me to add 2 GPUs which will obviously need more Watts
    None of my builds are to be good looking but just well performing Ofc I didn't not include an SSD like you did for obvious reasons and yeah I agree with your choice of the 960 SSC as it is a good budget card

    I just wanted to say first off, thank you for your time. You have been the most helpful person yet.
    I am still a bit of a noob when it comes to building/picking out pc parts. Can you explain why I would need a SSD as well as a hard drive? I am picking some stuff off of your lists, so thank you on that note.


    Thank you for your time,

    Well as you've probably been able to tell SSDs cost more than HDDs even when the storage space is lower
    This is because SSDs are made for speed and efficiency HDDs are just for storage
    what most people do and is recommended is that they put their OS (operating system) in their SSD and make it a boot drive, which leads to way faster launching times with your system, SSDs are not only for your OS doe you can move certain programs like let's say your minecraft your editing program and maybe your recorder to an SSD and they will run faster Than they would on an HDD he amount of programs you put on your SSD depends on the storage
    Of the SSD, 250gb should be enough to as you are only putting special programs in there
    If your really in a low budget keep in mind SSDs are NOT Required but will increase your performance.

    I thought they were something like that but didn't know exactly what they were. Thanks!
