Final thoughts on build

[KevinG4]

Here are the parts for my planned build. Thoughts and/or suggestions ?

 

CASE: Bitfenix Neos

MOBO: Asus M5A97 R2.0

CPU: AMD FX-8350

GPU: Gigabyte R9 280

RAM: 2x4gb Corsair Vengeance

PSU: Coolermaster G550M 80Plus Bronze

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO or Cryorig H5(Will have to check if it fits in the case)

Monitor: Asus VX239H

 

I am going to get a 240gb SSD in a couple months but for now i dont have the money to get it .

just for gaming?

Looks good, The 8350 is pretty much a amped 8320 with more overclocking potential.
The 8 cores will also make you able to run more applications at once without experiencing much performance loss.

The r9 280 is a little weak with the 8350 according to me but that is mainly up to preference.
It is still a Great card.

Id say, Go for it.

I would go with a locked i5 instead of the 8350

Mostly gaming but not only that , will look to do some editing in the future , mostly Adobe.

What do you exactly mean by weak ?

What do you exactly mean by weak ?

I mean that I personally think the 8350 can push a 290/x with the right settings.

Most people would say my current system is horribly bottlenecked since at the graphics pre-sets my GPU barely reach 60% usage.

You could swap the 8350 and put the 8320 in. It is basically the same cpu with a factory overclock on it. You can overclock the 8320 yourself and save a bit of cash

If i was you i would go for the i5 over AMD, i went with the 8350 and now I feel like my pc is out of date.

just swap the 8350 to 8320 it's cheaper and just OC

Ok so i am thinking of changing my Power Supply to the Seasonic M12II-520 Bronze since its a lot better . But will the 520 watts be enough for my system if i overclock the 8320 to something like 4.2-4.4 Ghz?
