Do what you want and many say it isn't when OC'd but I am not sure I would give up the performance at stock and not sure how soon Finch will be OC'ing anything anyway.

I'd take the $50 savings and stick it in the video card or SSD

That's another thing bothers me, no SSD. OS on a caviar blue is like eeeuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Well take off the 8350 for an 8320 and add an SSD.
Not sure what you could find for that savings though outside of maybe a refurbed SSD?

With this budget its hard to squeeze one in. Finch won't know the difference between a 7200rpm and ssd.
I don't think performance should be docked to make room for a SSD.

$100 or so will net you a perfectly fine 120 GB drive. hell $110 will get you a hyperX on newegg.

I got my 120GB Vertex 3 for $69 after rebates last year. I have never seen that deal again since then. I got lucky I guess but now I want/need a bigger one.

I know the difference and ive seen the difference. I would like to have an ssd just for windows at least. Makes start up alot faster.

Ssd's are awesome but I agree not to hurt performance for the ssd. Especially if we are talking about someone that has never used one, he won't notice.

For once you agree with me
I would stick to the 8350 just based off of stock performance between it and the 8320 because he will more than likely game at stock for a long time. Not everyone OC's.
An SSD is a fairly easy addition later down the road.

yeah best deal i can find on newegg right now is a mushkin enhanced chronos 240GB for $165

Even my wife can see the difference in speed, and I gave her an oooold corsair SATA2 SSD.
But if the budget is strict, I will agree that the configuration is optimal. I would just strongly suggest looking for change in the couch, mowing a couple of lawns, or sucking a dick or two to get the money to add an SSD, like a regular Samsung 840 120gb.

i reject the premise that he will have a performance drop in 1080p by going with the 8320 vs the 8350

If I had to choose an ssd, 1tb hdd, 7870, 8320 or a build with 1tb hdd, 8350, and a 7950 I would choose build 2 hands down

Might not now but with the new consoles also being 8 core there is a pretty good chance that future games will take advantage of all 8 cores on a CPU. In that regards a faster 8350 would be beneficial.

This has prompted me to ask a question in the PC thread about the guide I'm writing.

I understand I'm at fault for the confusion but I meant in general not specific to the 8320 vs 8350. There is an under 10 frame difference between those 2 and sometimes none at all.

Stout, that power supply went up in price. And what about the cpu cooler. Is that needed immediately?
Posted on 7/20/13 at 4:30 pm to finchmeister08
It's $94.99 on the site minus $15 using promo code COMPNTSAL21 and then you also get a $30.00 mail-in rebate making it $49.99 so no it has not gone up in price.
LINK
Yes get the cooler for $20 right away.
