Is a prebuilt pc with AMD FX8300/8-core/3,3 GHz worth it?

[MarcusPhlman]

So I'm thinking of buying a pre-built pc with these specs:

 

AMD FX8300/8-core/3,3 GHz
16 DDR 3 
1 TB HDD
AMD RX560/4GB
10/100/1000 lan
LED Chassi fan

 

No more info is given, I am going to call them tomorrow to ask if I can add a ssd. Is there anything else I should ask them?

 

I am planning on using this for video editing etc. and it will become my main pc. Do you think that it is a good one for the price I pay or should I just go and build one myself?

 

Here is the website and you can see what it looks like (it's in Swedish): https://fyndiq.se/product/3622581-ultrasnabb-spel-dator-fx8300/?gla=true&gclid=CP3V_siqhdQCFR1kGQod3ioAxQ

nope, waste of money buying FX, build a ryzen system.

I'd stray away from it. However how much are they asking for the system? Just curious.

[Loot]

you could build a better system yourself for the same Krona

Nope dont go for it.

Build yourself a ryzen system for the same money

AMD's old FX line is at clearance prices and i just googled 5900 kr to my currency and WOW do not buy this. You vikings must have ridiculous taxes. you must sail over to britain and raid their computer stores.

Quick build at Prisjakt.nu, should be better.

[MarcusPhlman]

Sorry for not mentioning the price: it's about 685usd, and with the ssd and operating system it will reach about 780 usd.

 

The ryzen CPU's are a lot more expensive though. I thought it might would be good with 8 cores for rendering (although I have heard that they were pretty slow). Do you think that ryzen are better than intel? And as for the other specs what can I improve with them in my build?

 

thanks!

Woah! Thank a lot! I'll be looking in to that more tomorrow. Quick question: will that 4 core ryzen still be better for adoring than the 8 core FX?

 

thanks

Userbenchmark.com says it's +49% faster. And the FX-8300 is a 4 module/8 thread CMT CPU and the 1500X is a 4 core/8 thread SMT CPU.

Okay, just to be sure I understood you correct, I should start focusing on building a boat and after that I can start my pc build after returning from England  haha, thanks for the help, will definitely build a pc now
