Good build?

[Butterfish]

Herrow, I'm building a system for my friends little brother and i need your opinion on the parts. I want to build a powerful system for the budget of 7000 kr (DKK). Using the website www.proshop.dk

 

What do you think of this build, and are there any things you think i should change. This is the very first time a made a AMD build so i need to know if i did good

 

The PC will be used for gaming mostly. Things like Arma 3, DayZ, CS:GO and plenty of other games.

 

Total price is around 6.920 kr.

Not bad at all though you might want to swap that PSU out for a CS550M from corsair If you can. I'm not a big fan of XFX, friends had XFX PSU's and they all died or fried a component pretty quickly.

Looks good i think,

you may not need 4 gb of ram on your GPU

 

ps. er fra også fra Danmark

970A motherboards do not perform well with the 8000 series. Get a 990FX.

[Thorium19]

I would get a 990fx motherboard instead, as it can handle the higher TDP and overclocks better than that 970 mobo. Not sure which, but that would certainly improve it.

R9 290 a bit overkilled (although DayZ and ArmA 3 are quite hard to deal with I believe) ? I'm in it's fine anyway, you can go a bit down and get the 280/280X. Plus try getting a 990FX board since you are getting the FX-8000 CPU

And this. Personally I really love Corsair products so. There you go mate

[Archangel1994]

Would recommend going to 990FX mobo though yeah.

[MetaDrow]

Just like the people before mentioned, try to get a motherboard with the 990FX chipset. It's more up to date than the 970A with higher CPU TDP support of 140W vs 125W. Get something like Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 or M5A99X EVO R2.0 for example

[Phoenix70]

dont get the xfx pro 550 watt, a friend of mine had it and it was REAAAAALLY loud... also, if he isnt going to overclock,he could get an i5 4590

I know, but the 290 doesn't come in 2GB versions. At least i think so

Might be overkill with the GPU, but he gave me a budget and why not build the most powerful pc within the budget?

Is he going to OC with that CPU ? I'm thinking about Haswell-refresh Core i5s, would be totally fine as well 

If you can find a good H97 board with gaming capabilities like strong on-board sound and networking and then pair it with a Core i5 = strong gaming PC right there

He will not be overclocking. Is it better to go with intel then?

[Butterfish]

Updated the components

Well, if the build is specific for gaming then I would go with Core i5, that's about it. You wouldn't want to buy that FX CPU if you're got gonna OC it.

Made this build instead on a different website. Actually cheaper than the AMD build!

 

EDIT: Forgot the damn ram hah

Okay, so here is the intel version. I've got to skip the R9 290 since its above the budget now. 

 

[NationsAnarchy]

Get a non-K CPU man, that 4690K is overclock-able. Get a cheaper 4690 (without the K), then you'll got money back to get the R9 290

I looked for it! No where to be found

 

EDIT: Apparently the website i used, was the only one that didn't have the non-k version...

[NationsAnarchy]

That's gonna hurt like hell right there. I'm a bit out of clue right now, or rather just stick with the early AMD FX build as the last choice. 
Probably we'll wait and see if anyone here have a better idea.

Tried making a build on another website with the non-k 4690. Still about 250kr above budget. Going to hear them out if it's okay

Cool. I'll be eating my dinner real soon though (look at my location and you'll know why). I'll keep myself posted up here to see if I can help you anything man

Thanks a lot mate! I made this build instead and i think it will be great for his gaming needs.

Bam! Well done man, nice build right there. Sadly a good SSD cost like 500-600 more I think right ? 

P/S: Dinner delayed a bit longer lol.

True, but his littlebrother is not that good with computers so he doesn't know how to use C: Drive (SSD) for OS and D: (HDD) for storage. I'll just throw in a single 1TB so i wont confuse him.
