I am building another gaming PC (nothing extreme), and am choosing the AMD FX-4350 cpu. My first build was back in 2003 using P4 3.0 cpu.
I don't care about a fancy case, just something compatible and accessible.
Would prefer an SSD and liquid cooled.
Can do without any disk drives, if possible, and looking at a price range of up to around 750$ w/o monitor and mouse/kb.
So I need ideas for graphics card, cooling, SSD, MB, and RAM
Any hardware ideas on building around that CPU?
Thanks

PS, I don't OC

So you want a liquid cooled machine for 750? Good luck with that. I just quickly priced a basic machine for gamin, no liquid cooled, no case, no extras, just he basics and I was at a grand already. You're going to have to spend a little more then that I am afraid.

Have you checked tiger direct for barebones kits they sell ? Your biggest deamons will be the processor and the video card.

Also these people sell some nice setups that you can customize.

What I failed to suggest is to look at refurbished or YesterYear technology. Refurbished is a good machine, but has gone back once. Yesteryear is using components that are a cycle or two behind the current generation. You can get a good deal on them and build a decent rig, just not using the best technology. I would almost look at a dell type system.
