Help with new system?

[ThatOneRussian]

Hello users of Linus Tech Tips Forums

I'm planning to build my first pc but I'm not sure if it will be able to run the programs and games that I want to play.

 

My build

CPU - AMD FX-8350

CPU Cooler - Kraken X61

Video Card - Gigabyte 980Ti G1 Gaming

Motherboard - Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z

HDD - Barracuda 2TB

SSD - Kingston SSDNow 240GB

Memory - Crucial Ballisitix Tactical   http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/blt2kit8g3d1608dt2txrg

Case - Phanteks Enthoo Luxe

PSU - EVGA SuperNova 750 Watt G2

 

Planning to run three 1080p monitors. http://www.amazon.com/Acer-H236HL-bid-23-Inch-Widescreen/dp/B00AZMLIDQ?

23 Inches.

 

Any help is much appreciated thanks.

The 8350 is gonna bottleneck that 980Ti like hell. I strongly suggest you to go Intel, i5 at the very least.

[Mahmud Reza Utsas]

I thing this configaration enough for gaming

[Muz]

Go for a cheaper GPU and a better CPU.

[ThatOneRussian]

Any idea what kind of CPU to go for? I live in New Zealand and the prices are different to say the least.. 

[ThatOneRussian]

Ill save around 254 US Dollars if I go for the 980. I'm just worried if it will run the monitors.

Do you want to run a game across all 3 or just 1 for gaming and the other 2 for programs or something?

Games and Photoshop will be the most intensive things I'll do. Games on the three monitors and for work and some programming. Just starting to learn programming

You could always go with a Fury X, slightly cheaper and the performance is about the same. As for the processor, get a i5 4460 or anything better.

If you're just gaming, replace the i7 with an i5-4690K.

Will the 4790k be okay with the gigabyte 980ti or bad because if I go a bit cheaper on the case and mobo i can make it around the same price

Going cheapo on the mobo and case won't affect performance, imo i'd do it. Just make sure the GPU fits in the case.

[ThatOneRussian]

Also Czex ill post the link once ive done editing it to NZ prices and making it a bit cheaper

This is the eventual part list. Its 100$ New Zealand more but its worth it I think. Thanks for the help.

Pretty much everyone on this forum will tell you to go intel no matter what, id say you are better off just doing some googling, id give you my thoughts but someone would claim im a fanboy for doing so, pm me if you really want to know.

The 8350 is gonna bottleneck that 980Ti like hell. I strongly suggest you to go Intel, i5 at the very least.

nope. 8350 does not bottleneck any single or dual card. even 2 980tis. Its only once you hit 3 gpus that you may run into a problem, please before saying something with such confidence, be sure you know what you are talking about. People need to remember what a cpu bottleneck is. if your gpu is not hitting 99 to 100 usage, thats a cpu bottleneck. some games running better on intel cpus IS NOT a cpu bottlenecking a gpu, it just means the game runs better on an intel cpu no matter what gpu you pair with it, that wont change. some games just dont take full advantage of the 8350, and its lower per core performance starts to show when that happens, that IS NOT again i repeat NOT a cpu bottlenecking a gpu, that is simply the case of a game running better on an intel cpu.

Feel like arguing? Dont. i did more research than you, and i actually OWN the chip myself.

It's okay, I always have the argument of "the performance is shit and the heat output is way too high".

Personally the highest you should pair it with is a 290X or 970...
