Well hello there guys!, i just signed up here, kinda new in this whole world.

 

I can give you guys a quick summary of myself before introducing the actual rig:

 

  • Im 23 years old
  • Im from Buenos Aires,Argentina
  • My name is Juan Pablo
  • I love gaming
  • New in the whole "build pc/rigs world"
  • Hi!:D

 

So there!, now that we got that out of the way lets get to the real talk here, i have a pretty bad PC at the moment, i got it in 2012/11 cant really remember, it looks like this:

 

Intel core I3 540 3,07 hz

4 Gigs of ram

Cant remember the motherboard

Amd Radeon HD 5700 series card

and a 500 Gigs storage

 

All in a Sentey case. Problem is, i cant run games, at least not how i would like, hell it even began to have trouble alt tabing from games, its slow as a tortoise now, wich brings me to my new pc wich is a: 

 

  •  Procesor: Amd FX 9590 
  • Graphics Card: Ati R9 290x Sapphire tri-x
  • Motherboard: AM3+ - Asus SABERTOOTH 990 FX R2.0 
  • 2 DDR3 - 8 Gb 2133 Hyperx Savage - King
  • Power Supply: Sentey MBP 850-HS 850 W
  • Phantom 820 Case
  • I also bought a Corsair H110 water cooling device for the Procesor
  • O and a 4 Tb Sata3 - WD Black Hard Drive

 

It took me a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time, i really mean it, so what do you guys think?

If you are going AMD then I wouldn't bother with that god aweful CPU, get rid of the 9590 and buy an 8350. Your old computer specs aren't terrible, I bet a nice reinstall would do wonders for it.

 

EDIT: Shit you've already bought it, ohh well apart from the CPU (FX-8350 would be better) the rig looks pretty decent as a first attempt, congrats ------> *gives pat on the back :)

Well i heard wonders from the 8350, but i figured more hz and "number" would be better, im really new to this, my head almost explode, took me like a month to do this haha

 

Thx so much!

 

EDIT: Oh nono, the procesor and the graphics card are not here yet, my dad is going to bring em from the US, in about 2 weeks from now, i have the rest already waiting, should i make the switch then?

No worries, the problem is the amount of power the 9590 sucks. TDP of 220w is insane.

Yup, i heard it heats up a lot, thats why i got the Corsair H110, to try and solve it, i cant still switch tho to the 8350

Thanks!, it was extremely daunting at first, with such a huge list of things, was a real excercise of search & compare madness!
