AMD talked about this earlier and he is the article I believe: http://videocardz.com/44408/amd-radeon-hd-9000-series-to-feature-new-naming-meet-the-radeon-r9-xxxx

If you can try integrated graphics or another graphics card to rule that out.  Sounds to me either a GPU or PSU problem but it could be a mobo issue as well.

once it crashes or gets infected with lots of viruses i say a year

mine usually gets fatal crash every 6 months and i have to reinstall OS after that

This pretty much, that's why I keep OS on SSD and all other files on HDD.

ima gonna be a daddy!!! do's that count as new's :D

Congratz dude!!

I personally have an I7-2600K and I love it because I task pretty hard core when gaming.

So what happened last week

The Olympics might be moved out of Russia due to the amount of lesbians on the USA women's side (they threatened to capture any people that are LGBT and torture them).  The WAN show had a bandwidth failure as well.  Other than that not much.

Either get another 670 and SLI or go 780.  Honestly, most games now days except planeside 2 and wow scale about 60% or better and I don't see this changing much in the future negatively anyway.  2GB of Vram per die is plenty for 1080p gaming, the extra horse power will be nice.  Remember, to achieve 60 fps, each GPU has to render 30 of the frames, so if you get around 30 FPS with 1 GPU depending on the scaling you should get close to double.

 

 

Guys, the 760 has a 256 bit Memory bus. It cannot use the full 4GB of VRAM. Fail. :|

 

The 760 is newer and is basically a rebranded, slightly overclocked version of the 670. They are basically the same GPU with a different name and slightly different settings.

I would get the 2GB 760. Because it cannot utilize the 4GB on that version of the card, so it is a waste of money.

 

This. Prices will drop and AMD usually has more VRAM anyway with the memory bus width to back it up.

Most of this is correct except it being a rebranded GTX 670.  From my understanding the GTX 760 is a rebranded GTX 660 TI, it uses the same GK 104.225 as the GTX 660 TI, but a wider bus slightly improved ROP's and clocks but less cuda cores.  The GTX 760 TI should be a rebranded GTX 670 if they ever decide to make one.  The GTX 760 should be close to a 670 but I don't believe it's more powerful.  the GTX 760 can utilize about 2.5GB of Vram so to say 4GB is a waste is true, but not a complete waste.  I'd still get an HD 7950 as they are 220 now.

Here is my personal take on the matter.  If I was doing this for myself I would lean towards an I5-4670K.  Reason being is, I am too new to AMD CPU's and their architecture design is kinda meh, and their temperature sensors on their boards are terrible.  However that is what I'd recommend for myself not for you.  The FX-8350 offers a better value, in most games except World of Warcraft, an FX-8350 should be able to perform VERY close to an i5-4670K while offering about 6 full cores of performance.  Meaning tasking and video editing should be a bit smoother.  Add in how much of a better value it is, I would go that route.

I'd say do a new build. 

 

Edits to your build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1qjf2

Crossfire ready.

This build looks solid, wouldn't really change much other than OCZ PSU's aren't the greatest, but not bad either.

OP, a few things to factor in.  What is the make/model of your PSU?  What's important is how many Amps are on the 12V rail.  You REALLY need to only have a single 12V rail for this setup.  I'd say if you're at 35A+ you're fine, that's 420V allocated to your CPU and motherboard and other major components.  Here is a breakdown if you will"

HD 7870 uses 2 PCI-E 6 pin connectors each capable of pulling 75W each and the PCI-E slot can pull up to 75W as well.  That totals: 225W

An FX-8350 @ 1.45V @ 4.5Ghz pulls about 175W give or take.

That's 400W, and you're extras ram mobo drives fans etc add about 50W depending putting you at 450W.  So you could overclock BOTH your CPU and GPU to a very high amount and have some left over depending on your 12V rail.  So at stock OP you're fine IF your PSU is decent.

Hey guys, which motherboard with socket AM3+ in price around €100-120 manufactured by MSI/Gigabyte/Asus is the best? I know that motherboards around that price are pretty basic, but are enough for what I am building right now with FX8320 and GTX770. I've found these options: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3

                                                                                                              MSI 990FXA-GD65

                                                                                                              Asus Sabertooth 990FX (maybe R2.0)

                                                                                                              Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0

Here's the thing OP, the FX-8320 is binned a bit lower than the FX-8350.  So chances are, any 990FX board will have sufficient VRM cooling and power phases to handle any OC, I think your chip will be more limiting.  That being said, I wouldn't spend more than 150 bucks, get the features you need, don't overpay for what you don't.

Ok, I'm looking to find a Decent Mobo between 170-270$ (110-180£) Im not going to do extreme overcloking.(about 4ghz.) I have a R4, and i want to do a silent build so im going to invest in noctua fans and a awesome and silent cpu cooler in about 2-3 months. (i used to have a Acer apsire x3990 with a sandy-brigde i5 and a gt 530. So i got myself a gtx 770, a 600w PSU and a Define R4, but kept the motherboard and ram and harddrive)

The parts im sticking with 

Gainward Gtx 770 2gb Phantom

8gb of unknown acer ram... (going to be replaced if i find a crazy sale for new ram.)

Seagate Baracuda 1TB (Mine might be special and is LOUD! going to be replaced in the next month)

 

New planned parts

Noctua Fans (Going to look more into them. IDK whats the best ones, don't remember which ones linus always talks about D: . )

Either a Dual Rad, or a silent heatsink (I want to see how hard/easy it is to fit a dual rad on the top fanmounts in the R4)

new Mobo. (help!)

New Storage-drives ( I want to run one ssd for OS and games i always plays/ programs i frequently use. Prefromance Drive to save games and programs. Then I want to run raid 0 for files/projects and recordings)

                                 (The SSD and raid might be something in  the future and not in the next month)

I'm sorry if i misunderstand something i have only been heavily into pc and building them for a year or so.

 

If you guys want to help me or suggest something else for anythign else than my motherboard please go ahed ill take all help ;)

As JJ said in the stream, pretty much any Asus board will overclock to any gaming enthusiast level.  However you will need something like an Evo 212 to hit anything past stock.  I have an I7-4770K @ 4.2GHz with a Dark knight CPU Cooler (performs pretty bad) and only hit 81*C on prime 95, and 75*C on AIDA.  Probably mid-high 60's with an Evo 212.  Remember, since the VRM controller is integrated into the CPU die, overclocking within like 4.6GHz really won't matter much between boards.  Since voltage is far lower than Ivy and Sandy, the VRM can handle them fine.

Despite me not really being here I feel obligated to add to this just to benefit the community.  As stated an AMD FX-8350 has 8 cores, 2 cores on each modules totally 4 modules.  Each module shares L2 cache unlike Intel cores.  The reason why FX cores drop in productivity is because each module has 1 floating integer for execution and this creates the bottleneck.  The theory is, FX cores are 100% efficient at 50% load, but lose HALF it's efficiency from 50-100% load.  That is assuming, you can max out 1 core on each module up to 50%.  This effectively makes an FX-8350 about 6 cores worth of power give or take.

What hurts the FX cores even more is they have I believe 32 pipelines and HALF the IPC's as Intel, where Intel has I believe 12 pipelines.  Think of this like ECC ram.  Data sets have to go down the pipelines to be executed, Often times data sets go down the wrong pipeline and have to try other pipelines.  Increased IPC's makes this process more efficient.  So having MORE pipelines and far fewer IPC's is the reason why a Pentium G860 can execute a quad threaded task more efficiently than an FX-4100.  The architecture improvements in Piledriver increased IPC's and along with an unlocked multiplier (which helps on the execution level), they can offset some of this deficiency.  They also improved cache latency as well with Piledriver which helps a bit for gaming especially on the second level.  This is the more difficult side of the explanation.

Used is the way to go tbh.

Really hows your basketball team? :P

We don't have one of those.

So here in Pittsburgh sports are pretty big.  The Penguins have 3 cups in 20 years with 5 final appearances.  The Steelers have 2 superbowls and 4 appearance in the past 20 years.  I am 23 so this is somewhat relevant.  The Pirates however, set the record for 20 straight losing series (less than 81 wins, more than 81 losses).  We have the record across EVERY major sport across the world.  So the past 2 years we've done well up to the All Star Game, but then fall off after.  Last year we got to 14 games about .500, then tanked and finished 72-90.  This year we currently stand 1 month after the All Star Game 70-44 12 wins away from breaking the record and 2 games ahead of 2nd place in the MLB.  So this year I've been following baseball exceptionally close, learning a bit about the game and our players and other teams.  I've been to 8 games recently before today, 3 this year and 5 last year.  We've lost every game never scoring a home run.  

So that brings me to today.  I went with 3 other people today and I said, if we win I want a walk off.  The excitement in the park with a team this good is amazing and a walk off is something pretty exciting to be a part of.  And today, the Pirates walked it off sweeping the Marlins in a 3 game series with me at the game.  I can finally die happy knowing I completed my goal this year!!!

He means Hz, 110V is 60Hz 230V is 50Hz.

But the first thing that happens in the brick is AC to DC so Hz should not matter anyway

 

Just make sure its says

 

Input: 110-230V 50/60Hz

 

If its something along those lines it's fine.

Thanks and ty windspeed.

Ummm get the fact that a 780 actually costs that much out of your head plz

 

I live within 10km of the 3 biggest computer retailers in Australia and no GTX 780 us under $800 (without shipping)

Just look at the kinds of prices we are charged: https://www.centrecom.com.au/nvidia-amd-graphics-cards?pagesize=30&orderby=11

Video cards went up in price recently, even the HD 7990 dropped to 700 now back to 800.  bUT HERE: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-card/#c=136&sort=a5

After you convert your GTX 780's are about 720 USD, where ours are about 660 USD.  But the average costing of living in AUS including taxes, gas, food etc (I did an analysis that took 8 hours to compare btw) is 1.52 times higher than ours, while the average wage is 2.48 times higher than ours (as is your min wage is 2.52 higher than ours).  Therefore effectively making AUS paying 35% less than us on average.

herts, cycles - same thing.

Okay so check the voltage and the hertz as well?

Double check the cycles - the wrong cycles will kill it. 99% of bricks that are rated for 240/120 will also be good for 50/60Hz.

cycles?  As long as the brick says 110-240V or w/e I should be fine right?

You could always buy another charger, they aren't too expensive.

Laptop isn't here yet.  He just ordered it, it's the newer version of what I have and it's rated for 110-240V.  If this is the case he should be okay to plug it in no issue.

So my friend is going to Qatar for 9 months and we decided to have him buy a new laptop rather than send his PC due to hassle.  It's an Acer V3 A10-4600M 6GB DDR3 750GB HD and an HD 7670M 2GB GDDR3+HD 7660G crossfire.  It should be rated for 240V like every other laptop in this world.  Does all he need to do is get the right plug and he should be good to go? There's no switches on laptop PSU's to my knowledge.

Interesting note, medium-low load I get amazing temps.  Doing mass installations using about 40% of my CPU power it's around 39-41*C

Nope, still 70*C on the second hottest core.  GG got a dud.
