please help !!!!!!!!!!

[kizoku_95]

My first plans for a INTEL based gaming system was a failure so i made up my mind and went the AMD side as i now do some gameplay recording using FRAPS and edit it......... I wanted the most horsepower on the lowest budget !!!!!!!!!

please tell me if this build will be good enough to suit my needs.

 

AMD FX-8350

 

MSI 990FXA-GD65

 

KINGSTON HYPERX BLU 2X4GB 1600MHZ RAM

 

COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 EVO CPU COOLER

 

SAPHIRE HD 7850 1GB 

 

COOLER MASTER THUNDER 500W PSU (FROM MY PREVIOUS BUILD)

 

SEAGATE 500GB HDD 7200RPM  (FROM MY LAST BUILD)

 

WD CAVIAR GREEN 1TB-- FOR RECORDING GAMEPLAY

 

WILL PLAY AND RECORD AT 1080P AND ATLEAST AT 30FPS

 

 

PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS WILL BE FINE OR IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE MY BUILD THEN PLEASE TELL ME

CAN SPARE ONLY 40-50$ MORE !!!!

Have you got a case  :P it might help but not necessary.

I would personally step up to a 7870 at least and an SSD is always a nice addition to any build!

change the cpu to a fx 8320 & overclock it instead of paying a price premium for a .2ghz factory overclock ( unless it's less then 10$)

change the motherboard to a Asus M5A97 R2.0 / Asus M5A97 R 2.0 LE , unless you plan to do crossfire ( but you will need a new power supply)

check if you can get a 7200rpm hard drive for the same price for recording gameplay.

 

what games are you looking to play & record btw?

What's your budget in general?

Green drives are not good when recording with Fraps.  For the best performance, you're going to need a drive to run Fraps off of, another drive to record to, and another to run the game you're trying to record.  I have mine set up this way:

 

Fraps on SSD

Game on 1TB 64MB Cache 7200 RPM HDD <-- Will change to SSD when I don't feel like being lazy

I record on a caviar green 1tb at 1080p@40 fps which is moooore than enough

Yep. A green is enough if the hard drive is dedicated to recording and not running anything else.

I prefer getting a 7200 rpm drive though since it's reusable for running games off of and such.
