Need some help deciding

[c48c48s48]

Okay, Im building my first gaming pc. Im looking to spend around 1500. So I`ve concluded a few things about my pricing, mics, monitor headset ect will make it cost more, I realize that.

4.4 (non overclocked) GHz 8 core processor AMD fx 9370 vishera

Asrock fatal1ty 990x.gaming motherboard

4 sticks of 2GB ram. 8Gb total (already have, ddr3)

240Gb ssd along with a 1tb harddrive.

BenQ RL2455HM 24" 1ms response time <10ms

Evga torq mouse

Razer Mouse bungee

Standard dvd drive

Perixx px 1000 keyboard

Atr2500 mic with stand

Athm50 headphones

(I need help on what video card I need, I want to run games that come out in the future at >60fps.

Thank you all.

Something like a amd 280x/nvidia gtx 770 would be nice with this build. But a 290 or 780 would be better if your budget allows it.

 

You sure you want that amd cpu? I would get something like an i5-4670 or Amd 8350.

Do you really need a mouse bungee? and a dvd drive?

I would Recommend not getting that CPU, you would need some serious cooling for that thing as the TDP on it to achieve 4.4ghz is insane

 

IMO look at Intels CPU line up, im personally an AMD fanboy, but I switched to intel, just because of the fear of AMD not producing anymore CPU's 

 

you could save a bit of money on stuff and get the other things you need for example:

 

do you need a 240gb SSD, why not a 120gb?

 

do you need a CD, personally I dont have 1 and just have a laptop with a cd drive if i cant find the thing i need on the internet

do you currently have 4 sticks of RAM or are you buying 4 sticks of 2gb RAM? IMO you are better to buy 2 4gb sticks of ram just for better compatiblity and a slight performance increase

for your video card, this is your personally preference to your budget, either NVIDIA or AMD will offer you great performance 

 

Good Luck

So, is that cpu bad? Its rediculously fast isnt it? Oh well, and in video cards, I was looking at a 290.

Yes, I already have the ram. Ill get better ram in the future, whats wrong with the processor? And okay,

And a 240gb is to put all of my games that run hard, my operating system and video files.

The Processor requires alot of Cooling, sure you can get it, but you will definately need a High end air cooler, or a Liquid cooler at least

 

they run hot as hell, just to achieve that speed, 

 

the decision is up to you in the end, but I recommend reading more about the AMD 9370 and its TDP

I decided on the 8320.

I put the money I saved into a sapphire r90x vga

[Chris_nz]

Cool any reason you didnt Pick the 8350?

 

and great work on the R9 290x

 

you could save a little more and get the R9 290 not much difference between them both
