Combination of old and older

[Jason 57]

This is Part 2.

 

This started off with:

Rosewill R5 case

Cooler Master Silent 700W PSU

msi fm2-a85xa-g65 MB

 

AMD Athlon A10-5800K 3.8Ghz FM2 SOCKET with stock cooler.

 

G.Skill 32GB DDR3 DRAM 

 

MSI R7770 2pMDIGD5 X2 in Crossfire

 

WD 1TB Black

 

WD 3TB Green

 

 

The old mother board without the GPUs in the way. and I had clean it out at this point.

 

 

 

Here is my old Cable Management, which was the style of make it fit!

 

 

 

 

Here is the front and top of the Rosewill Gaming R5 case. Yeah, I still haven't used the eSATA port on top.

 

 

 

This is the combined components and I added a GTX 1070 Gaming X from MSI I got off eBay for $200.

Because my daughter said playing games had terrible FPS.

 

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed this update.

I have a LONG way to go for more. And I will keep posting as things change!!!

 

Thank you.

This CPU is a one hell of a bottleneck,as it's not really a quad core (AMD was sued for it and lost),

It's just 2 modules and 4 threads,similar to an old i3.

And that is why I am planning/WAITING to add a Ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 7 3700X with a preferred MSI x570 Tomahawk and 32GB (64GB if I can afford) 3200 or 3600 Memory.

Still a debate about do I go faster, or do I getting a lower CAS latency. I think GamersNexus has an article on this, but I can't access it at my work to read it! LOL

 

I wonder if I need to change out the PSU as well????

 

And my debate is still about a case. but that post is in the Prebuild threads.

I'd say the psu would be fine tbh

Any 3600MHz CL16 kit will do fine.

OK.

But would a 3200MHz CL14 be better. That was the debate I put up in the Memory threads.

There has been some validity of the lower speed running better with a tighter timing.

In theory it's faster,but when considering how the Infinity fabric frequency is tied to the RAM frequency,then you might get higher performance with the 3600MHz CL16 kit.

What i would do in that case is to buy the 3200MHz CL14 kit and overclock it to 3600MHz.

and that is one of the debates I have been having for awhile now. LOL

And I am sure I will continue to have it until I ACTUALLY purchase the memory. Until then, I keep watching sales.

I don't think I really care about RGB. Most likely going with a GSkill Ripjaws V 64GB. Problem is at that size of memory, I don't they sell it in CL14. I think it is only CL16.

And if your wondering, I have always bought half the Memory size of the MB potential. And since I don't only game, I figure the extra memory (anything over 16GB) will help in taskwork.
