What do you think of my AMD build?

[R3bellion]

So this is my list of components for my upcoming AMD build.

 

CPU: AMD FX 6100 (six-core CPU, AM3+ socket, clocked at 3.3 GHz, turbo boosts up to 3.9 GHz)

Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 (nothing special, supports DDR3 up to 1866 mHz)

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury (1600 mHz, 8GB)

GPU: Sapphire R9 270X Vapor X (it performs well enough for my needs, and also it's black and blue... #the dress)

HDD: Toshiba 1TB 7200 RPM

SSD: (it's gonna be coming later in the future)

PSU: Real Power RP600 600W (80plus Bronze, non-modular)

CASE: Akyga Gamer ATX (some chinese brand idk...)

FANS: 2x Cooler Master SickleFlow (120mm)

CPU COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper TX3

 

So this is my build that i will build somewhere in around of May. Please leave your thoughts on this and feel free to recommend for me to change something else on this list.

Welcome to the fourms! What's your budget?

[CoolaxGaming]

Whats it for?

[Zauski]

What is your budget & location? There's one or two things that I'd personally change if I were you, in the name of performance!

[IP man]

Get intel, thank me later 

[Extingquish]

That isn't all that great

 

I'll get a better parts list for you now

 

BTW, do you do video editing? You might be better off going with an i5 4460 if you game more

Something like this might be better if you game more than video edit, hopefully the parts are a similar price in your area 

 

Also, the motherboard might need updating to the latest bios, but I'm not sure

[Mao_Zedong]

Give a budget and I can make something much better, that cpu is terrible and quite a few other parts are iffy.

[Johannes_Lazor]

Do you use USD? Try to look towards the 6300 if you have the budget.

And try to find a board with a VRM heatsink, I would not recommend that board.

[Johannes_Lazor]

Get intel, thank me later 

Dont recommend Intel just for intels sake, Thank me later.

[tmlhalo]

If you really want to have AMD then do not get the 6100. Bulldozer is utter crap. You'll want the 6300, 6350, or Athlon 860. Though my recommendation is an I3.

[Zauski]

Rekt.

[IP man]

What?

[BurgerBum]

dont get intel.

get a chip by intel.

 

lets keep it clear the brand/manufacturer isnt better its the prodcut itself.

[Johannes_Lazor]

What?

One should not overlook AMD just becouse Intel is better in higher end builds, AMD is pretty competitive when it comes to the mid-low end builds.

[Sauron]

i will build somewhere in around of May.

 

Then you should come back in may, always make a list just before purchase otherwise you risk getting outdated parts. By the way, the fx 6100 is extremely outdated, get a 6300 instead.

[IP man]

intel is better in any build. thats a fact.

 

Please keep this clean.

[IP man]

dont get intel.

ofcourse, but in this case Intel cpu is better than amd. dont deny it.

[Johannes_Lazor]

Why is it "better"?

[BurgerBum]

ofcourse, but in this case Intel cpu is better than amd. dont deny it.

...not... really.... 

while we all understand that a low-mid end i3 or the g3258 are good or even great choices, there are options from AMD that will outpreform or preform similar for much less. 

 

i see straight up ''intel is better'' and shit like that as ignorance. 

 

an intel cpu isnt better. and i3/i5/i7 would be better. 

intel is not what makes it better. i will say that over and over.

[DimasRMDO]

If you want AMD you can go with FX 6300 or 6350, FX 8320 or FX 8350 would be better.

[dadasmithywinkle]

Here's a decent adaptation of OP's build. The 6300, a better mobo, better PSU, (imo) better case. All together, it's sub $500.

Ok you guys win,

 

im too tierd to start a flame war.

[Briggsy]

in b4 the intel parrots arrive. 

 

that being said, if you can, bump it up to an 8320. 

[BurgerBum]

If you want AMD you can go with FX 6300 or 6350, FX 8320 or FX 8350 would be better.

6300/8320 i personally see are the better choices from there. or perhaps go on ebay and find like a q8200 (like i do, i got my C2Q q8200 for 30 dollars, buying new it would be like 170$ and I KNOW its old, but it wont hold back my 7870 ghz)
