850 euro build

[Raggisuer]

Hello everyone i got some questions about this build i live in Belgium,

Prices in euro are close to what you pay in dollar the main purpose of this build is gaming/video editing/streaming

and i'm currently using 2 displays 1080p.

 

 

The Build

 

CPU: Amd FX 8350

 

MOBO: ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0

 

RAM: Crucial Ballistix sport 8gb 1600 mhz

 

GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 280 DUAL-X OC 

 

CASE: Corsair Carbide SPEC-01

 

PSU: Be-Quiet Pure Power L8 730W Modular

 

HDD: Seagate Barracude 1TB 7200RPM

 

CPU COOLER: Artic Freezer 13 CO

 

SDD: Samsung Evo 840 120GB

 

TOTAL: 810,92 EURO

 

 

 

NOTE: I know i could have gotten with a gtx 970 and a i5 4460 for around the same price,

But i would have to use a 50 euro mobo no ssd lower tier psu so this is why i prefer this build over the other one.

I know the hyper evo 212 might be better to cool the cpu but the case is to small to fit it.

Purpose? Location? Preferences?

 

"futureproof" is a terrible and almost meaningless word

carbide spec 01 and what kind of videos well nothing big really just a mmo and add some commentary's on them but the render times with my current pc takes a really long time

 

50 minutes for a 12 minute long video in 720p no wonder since it's a really low tier dual core ;p

Do you have the case already?

 

CPU: I5 4460

Mobo: B85M DS3H

The bios would need to be updated before the 4460 can be used.

The bios would need to be updated before the 4460 can be used.

 

Easy to do. Oh, and not necessarily since gigabyte released newer mobo revisions with new BIOS revisions.

Nope i don't have the case but it's one of the best looking / options wise for they money i have and i don't really have a huge choice of cases on the site but don't wanna order from another site,

since i will have to deal with paying money to send the parts over etc....

dont get that acrtic cooling cooler. its bad. keep the stock cooler until you can afford something like a 212 evo.

The boards in stock aren't necessarily the most recent revision.

That looks really nice is the cx 600 good enough for the r9 290?

since i did read some bad things about it

and switched the case from a n200 to a n300 since i like it more no idea if it does matter.

The N300 would be worse due to being larger and having more distance air would have to travel before being cycled.

[Raggisuer]

The cx600 is plenty.

well people saying it failed after 1000 hours

it only provides 430-450watt and their systems crash sometimes

 

short life time all cons i'm reading from newegg about the psu ;p

Keep in mind people who have issues complain while those who don't stay quiet so take those accounts with a grain of salt. There are plenty more people who have CX psus that are running just fine. 

The cx600 is able to provide up to 552w on its 12v rail which is easily more than what the system needs.

probably will switch to the cx600 modular psu and get a i5 4460 in there instead of the 4440 87 cents difference ;p

Stick with the 4440. The motherboard needs a bios update before you can use the 4460.

oh but isn't it possible to just stick the 4460 in there and start it and then grab the update from the site or is that not possible?

[WoodenMarker]

No. If the 4460 booted fine without a bios update, you wouldn't need one.

[Raggisuer]

oh but is there a motherboard in the b85 series that does support a 4460?
