I have an ASrock 970 extreme and an MSI 970A-G46 motherboard.

I also have an fx 6300 and a phenom 965.
I have a hyper 212 cooler and an h80 water cooler that has a shorted out fan controller, but still runs fine.
and a random assortment of memory.


Im wondering what would be the best choice out of this setup to use, and which to sell.
 
I think I'd keep it all and just play.
the 965 is a good cpu for real work.
the board fits both processors well.
both coolers will do the job for both processors.
paired with a fair or better video card the 6300 will game well, and I perfer to game with my 6300 rig over my 965,8120 and 8350.
The 6300 games at high clocks without making excess heat to have to deal with.
pair the 965 with 1600 ram and the 6300 with 1866 ram and your good to go.
