I am putting together a system right now and because I am disabled it has taken some time to get all the parts I need. But in the end it will hopefully last 3-5 years.
Case: Corsair airflow 540
CPU FX 9590
MB asus sabertooth 990fx R2.0
PSU Corsair HX850i
Cooler Corsair H100i
Ram Corsair Dominator Platnium of Vengance 32 gig
HDD WD red 6 tb
HDD#2 WD Green high speed (for games)
HDD#3 Samsung 840 512 gig drive for boot drive
Fans 5 NF-F12 3 for intake in front and 2 to replace corsair H100i stock fans as top exhaust
Fan exaust NF-A14 140mm rear fan set to intake
Video-card
well I am running a direct CU2 asus R9 270x 4 gig twin frozen now with 3 gigs extra from ram so in essance 7 gigs
I plan on getting either a R9 290x 6 gig sapphire extreme or a HD7780 6 gig or a XFX R9 290x or last choice is the GTX980 whichever comes at best price in jan
Questions:
1> will this build be good to cool the FX 9590 at stock I do not overclock I let the system take as much power as it needs at the time so the MB chooses when to OC not me.
2>Will the Sabertooth be an adequate MB to run the FX 9590 or should I wait to purchase a Crosshair V formula Z in dec
3> What is the best thermal paste to use with the heat output of the FX 9590 no clear answers to this online, and/or is the pre-applied thermal paste on the H100i sufficient enough or should I use a specific brand.
4>I am going to get a custom water loop after I get my graphics card which is the best manufacturer for a setup for this CPU and motherboard, note either the Sabertooth or the Crosshair V formula Z
****** Note I am only getting the Sabertooth+FX 9590+H100i because they come in a good combo deal at newegg.com right now otherwise I would be using a fx 8350 OR fx 9370.( i KNOW BIG BOO'S FROM INTEL ADDICTS) so quall the comments on the FX 8350 if the I7 will do better. but of you can come up with a intel solution for under $500.00 that performs better then the FX 9590 in all aspects I would love to see your comments because all intels I have owned, personal experience, sucked. I do more then game I run C.A.D and rendering software and do graphics engine creation, so intel sometimes doesn;t meet my standards for cpu usage and have overheated many a intel chip set.
PPS: please don;t let the get into a intel vs amd discussion I just want to know if this build is adequate if airflow would be above optimal and will it last note no real overclocking here, I build so stock can do what I need it to,
