My build

I plan on building a gaming pc for GTA 5 (when it comes out for pc), Call of Duty, CS:GO, Assassins creed, etc.

I opted for an AMD-based pc since it seems like AMD processors have a lot better value.

 

CPU: AMD FX-6300

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212

Mobo: ASUS M5A97 R2.0?? (Maybe)

RAM: Kingston Fury Black Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3

GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB Tri-X V

SSD: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 240GB 2.5" 

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 

PSU: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

OD:Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

 

I haven't decided on the case yet since they're so many options and a wide price range

 

Please leave any comments or suggestions! :) 

:D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

The FX lineup is total crap for gaming. Give us your total budget (and currency) and we can make you a better build

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

The only time to EVER get an FX CPU is For extremely Low End builds/ Massive Fanboyism.

 

Also can we get a total Budget/ Location? SO we can make the build better?

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

i7 9700K (5.2Ghz @1.2V); MSI Z390 Gaming Edge AC; Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB 3200 CAS 16; H100i RGB Platinum; Samsung 970 Evo 1TB; Samsung 850 Evo 500GB; WD Black 3 TB; Phanteks 350x; Corsair RM19750w.

 

Laptop: Dell XPS 15 4K 9750H GTX 1650 16GB Ram 256GB SSD

Spoiler

sex hahaha

or a more powerful amd build

There is no such thing as a powerful AMD gaming build because the FX-lineup bottlenecks EVERY high-end card

tell that to Iamapropos with his 9590 and 290x

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Well then, he has a bottleneck

bottleneck when he has well over 60 fps while streaming?

Having over 60 fps is not the same as not having a bottleneck. @Suika had his 8350 at 4.7GHz (Base clock of a 9590) and it was massively bottlenecking his GTX 780. An R9 290X > GTX 780 so that's an even bigger bottleneck

1-2 fps diffrence

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

You don't think the 8350 bottlenecks? lol get ready for a shitstorm because everybody else is about to tell you otherwise, especially me who's had both an FX-8350 and i7-4790k with a GTX 780.

Skyrim saw bottlenecks, the i7 still technically bottlenecks but the FPS in CPU intensive applications basically doubled going from the 8350 to the i7.

Metro: 2033 doesn't noticeably bottleneck but it does see some terrible low frame rates, which can easily break a gaming experience.

TF2 actually saw bottlenecks believe it or not, I was completely stunned to see just how CPU dependent it became with bots. When I tried to see CPU usage in TF2 a single core spiked to nearly 100% with 23 bots on a large map.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.
