    Currently trying to build myself a new rig.

    I broke up with my gf and my machine got lost in the crossfire :<

    Sooo

    So far I have

    700w ACE Black Edition PSU (40a on dual 12v)
    Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 DDR3 AM3+ motherboard
    GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked FreezerX2
    1TB HDD / 500GB Slave

    No CPU / RAM as of yet because im broke lol 🙁
    Any recommendations?

    It really depends on your budget, but I would get off of the AMD platform and get something like a 3570K if you can swing it.

    I’m stuck with AMD atm i’m afraid because of my motherboard :\

    Managed to get some OCZ Platinum RAM however…
    Anyone got an AM3 or AM3+ CPU spare? lol

    Then in that case I would suggest getting AMD’s closest equivalent, which I believe is still the FX-8350

    It should work out well enough for you in the long run. It looks like next gen consoles are getting 8 core AMD APUs running at relatively low clock speeds. So no doubt this will be able to handle all of those ports. It might do it even better then the 3570k given that it has more cores and those games will finally start taking advantage of more then 4.
