    Stay away. Cyberpower is a mediocre unit at best, and that FX-6300 is god-awful at this point.

    The thing is, I have to order it all from 1 place really. Also; Cyberpower allows me to use my amazon credit card, thats why I went with them. What makes the FX-6300 awful? Ive read good things on it.

    Wow needs ipc, intel chips IPC is 40% better then AMD hence AMD is bad for Wow and most MMO's.

    the only way AMD CPU makes sence will be if the upcomming ZEN architecture ups their IPC by like a shitload.

    That CPU came out over 4 years ago. It's dated technology.

    Most of that stuff is prime eligible so you can deduct about $50 in shipping costs if you have Prime. All from amazon. I dunno if you need an OS and peripherals since you didn't fill out the sticky though. If you don't plan on overclocking you could also get rid of the cooler.
    I actually really like this list! Thank you! It came out to be like $834 which isnt bad at all! Saves room in the pocket for a new mouse and the sorts! Ill need an OS, but I heard you can get them for like $30 or so, so its not that big of an issue. I currently have dual monitors already so I'm good on all my peripherals. Going to order this now. And a CPU cooler is always nice. I dont OC only because I dont know how to and dont want to ruin my equipment haha.
