I need to build an xp machine I love playing knights of the old republic quake Doom pretty much anything pre 2005 but I also play league of legends and more recent stuff too

I appreciate it it's a build for my lil bro to play fortnite and stuff and for me to play retro games on I think I'll go with the fx given it's cheaper on the used market

I 2nd the idea for threadripper or possibly a cost savings mesure and go ryzen 7?

I think I understand what's up I would go with ryzen personally but I'm a amd fan boy

For what your doing seems like a great built to be honest I'm a huge amd fan boy but to be honest if your gaming a bit more than working I might look into Nvidia

I have a new in box msi 990fx motherboard as well as a 890fx mobo and I'm trying to build a super cheap gaming rig I have 16gb ddr3 laying around as well as a r9 280x and a spare 1 tb HDD. Tldr; should I get a phenom ii x6 or a fx8350 or any other ideas. I got 90% of a old amd gaming PC just need a cpu . PS. It will mostly be playing fortnite and starwars knights of the old republic with some newer call of duty games @ 1080p. I'm hoping not to bottle neck the 280 x and hoping to be in the medium to high settings.

For the love of god man get the ryzen 5 1500x overclokable use stock case fans save a $ and swap the gpu to a rx 560 (if new) but check out local used sales adds and find a gtx 780 970 1070 or r9 285 380 470 480

Ty very much

Thanks for the easy answer jw will it bottleneck my card?

I was wondering if a fx 8150 is better than a 1090t phenom ii x 6. Sorry I'm sure this has been asked but my motherboard only supports up to a fx 8150 will not support fx x3xx series CPUs or I'd go 8350 and for centamental reasons I'm not upgrading to an Intel plat form or waiting for am4 platform Tldr: phenom ii x6 vs 8150 for modern gaming also GPU I'm using is a Radeon r9 285/ 380

My chances of winning are slimmer than the blade stealth be that as it may I would love the blade because I want to game on the go! Also I wish everyone else good luck.

im keeping the card for a while since i just game at 1080p i plan on upgrading cpu and i dont like nvida.

yes but the only cpu intensive game i play is dying light and i have 3 hrs in that im more interested in indie games casual shooters and tomb raider 2013 which i could max out on my old 750k

new build i am going 860k corsair h80I (already got 1) r9 380 8gb of ram and lots of overclocking

I love the way you think do you know how the 860k oc's? ill just do that and grab a 290/380/280x what ever i can get for the best price.

OMG I HAVE SUCH A DIRTY MIND "beat the pants off"

that actually is pretty good idea, especially since most of my games are like fallout 3, dota 2, league of legends. lol the most graphically demanding game i play is dying light and tomb raider btw tomb raider runs great on those athlons.... i wish i didnt sell my old rig :'(

love it and yea i can swing a 8320 for sure just wondering though arent those like hella old chips lol.

i think that would do nicely and i am a big amd fanboy like i said but im secretly exited for skylake :3

i will let you guys know what i decide and post pics in the build logs i was considering mineral oil cooled or maybe just some shexy straight pipes

yes i know its a huge difference idk abt the 6600k i havent seen it on newegg. but I like the 860k because that little chip is a beast and i loved my 750k also was thinking to go that route just until amd releases the new chips or maybe just go intel and not worry about it its soooo tough deciding these things!

thanks but can you over clock the 4460? its not that big of a deal i just like to not that i need the performance or anything more or less its a because i can sorta thing.

i had my 750k @ 4.7 ghz and during the winter @ 5 ghz so no probs overclocking

why not save the money and just do this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835888112&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Case+Fans-_-N82E16835888112&gclid=CJTB5uWjkscCFQ4paQodJ48DqA&gclsrc=aw.ds or this if you need it out of the case http://www.frozencpu.com/products/19418/slf-14/Akasa_Sytem_Blower_Slot_Fan_-_Black_AK-SB-BK.html?tl=g40c18s62&id=RhsssqTb were I work if a gaming rig is over heating instead of moving it to a new case we throw the fan that blows on the card underneath it and two exhaust fans on top as far apart as they can go i swear they work it would save time and money and it cools verry well I have one in my secondary rig (mine is a dell) and my card hits 70 at max load also side note my secondary rig has a 6850 in it and my house is fairly warm

also sorry this is like a 5 part question^
