Hello everyone,

I was planning on getting an AMD based computer with the following components http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Alejo_47/saved/8GfV3C

My intentions are, Livestreaming, Gaming and having a LOT of Firefox Tabs Open... My questions to all of you are:

·Do you think that I'd get a bottleneck?

·What's your opinion on the MoBo(I'm not very good at it but I was told that any 990 is recomended for an FX CPU)?

·How long do you think this will last until I've to play games in Low just to get 30-45 FPS?

My main games are/will be HEAVILY modded Minecraft, Source Based games(L4D2, CS:GO, etc), Grand Theft Auto 5, DayZ, BF4, TESV: Skyrim, and more...

I'd like to hear your opinions and know what you guys think :)

Please, DO NOT post comments saying "Intel is better cause, BLAH BLAH BLAH", "Nvidia is better for BLAH, BLAH BLAH", etc. I'm hear to hear what you know, no what you faboy/girl on... I'm not an AMD Fanboy, but I already have an AMD CPU and it has been staying up for the lasts 5 years, so I just Trust on AMD...

:)

Greeting, Alejo_47

Edit: I forgot to mention that I play on 2 monitors, a 1080p as my main monitor/TV and a 768p monitor when I'm using my PS3 on the main one

Link doesn't work. But assuming FX6/FX8:

 

-On the games you play you will get a slight bottleneck when using above an R9 280/280X or so. Nothing that will make it unplayable though.

-No, you do not need 990 for FX CPUs. Something like a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P has 8+2 power phase which does just as well as the VRM designs on 990 boards, just with less features.

-Quite a while.

Desktop: Intel Core i5 2380P (2400 w/o iGPU), MSI H61, 8GB RAM, 256GB SP610, 500GB WD Blue, HIS R9 280, Antec TruePower Classic 550W, Inwin MANA 134, QNIX QX2710, CM QuickFire Rapid, Logitech G402

 

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite L40D, AMD A6-6310, 6GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Radeon R4 Graphics, 14" 1366x768

 

 

Phone: iPhone 6 Space Gray 64GB, T-Mobile $60/mo 3GB plan

the only thing i would do is get a case with usb 3.0 in the front just because your board has it but that's just me you dont need too

I was thinking about it... But there aren't many USB 3.0 things that I'd use and I LOVE the look of the HAF 912. Thanks though
