Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

I don't want to be harsh, but if this is for gaming, then you can do much better.

As for the MoBo, go with a 990FX chipset. Go with Asus, Gigabyte or MSI.

Hi.

 

This is not only for gaming! My monitor is only a 60 hz monitor so i don't think i need a huge gpu. 

 

This is also for programming and browsing etc.

 

My budget is 1200 $

I have no problems with my ASUS M5A99FX R2.0. Nice UEFI and is capable of pushing a decent overclock in case you decide to do that anyway. I'd also suggest getting a cheaper cooler and the 8320 and put more money in to the GPU instead.

 

A cheaper cooler? Hmm.. But i have heard that this cooler is the best and i want to make sure that my cpu don't burns down :)

 

Anyway what do you recommend insted of the h100i? :)

Board costing 100$ atleast, CPU 180$ and cooler 100$ so in total 380$. You can get a i7 for that price even or a 4670k/z97.

I would recommend that you go with Intel, you will get much better performance.

Also, stay away from the H100i, it has a bad problem with mounting.  It works for some, and not others.  The Cooler Master Seidon 240M is basically the same AIO and only costs $60 from Newegg.com

Stay away from the H100i, it has a very bad problem with mounting and causes high temperatures.  It works for some, but not all.  The Cooler Master Seidon 240M for $60 is a much better option.

You don't need an i7 for programming.  Buy an i5 + the best possible GPU that you can afford.  If you want a cooler, buy the Seidon 240M for $60, you won't find a better price to performance CPU Cooler.

 

Basically, go with the build I created for you, it is a beastly machine from day one for well under your budget that will last you many of years while being upgrade-ready.

The stock cooler is quiet when it's installed properly and with a proper fan profile, the evo 212 is 25$ just including it for the sake of it. Also there's no point getting a i7 for your use, just complety none and since you aren't interested in overclocking there's also no point in z97/z87 or a K version CPU this is just the best value.

Board would still be more expensive than the CPU and GPU, that's never a good sign! :P

He Should go with a different processor and i wonder why he is going for a liquid cooler though he is not going to overclock.
