What drive should i get ? , Seagate or Western digital ??

NOT that CPU!

Drive doesn't matter, both brands are good.

[bodoy]

Both are equally very good Hard Drive brands. If you can get a 3TB Seagate drive for somewhat the same price as a 2TB Western Digital one, I suggest the former all the way.

[Tedster]

Please don't go with the 8350. It's the equivalent of an i3 for gaming.

WD, and get something like a 4690k instead

I know i know 

 

 yes FX 8350 have poor single treat performance , games not utilize . 

 

         first off , im not juz gaming LOL , no in my school , i need a new pc becuz i'll do content creation , and i believe that the program i used can utilize those 8 treat .

           as my roommate have i7 4770 non K version ,  intel sure will be better , but i dont really have all dat kind of money to afford an i7

 

         second , maybe i see 10 FPS increases but i think thats not worth the money , i really need to pay everything myself , i feel like i5 is not gonna do well on my MULTITASKING          need  , like streaming and open a google chrome all in the same time . 

       

         third , im amd fanboy xDDD

 

 

   so is seagate reliable ? i wish i could get my storage becuz i will work alot of video file with my project

Pretty much the same in terms of quality, so whatever fits your budget better. I have used both and have never had any problems.

With an Nvidia GPU?

[Tost TheGrenade]

AMD GPU sucks xDDD

  

         and i know dat FX 8350 only have Quad core CPU dat can run up to 8 treats tho

[Tost TheGrenade]

i think i would go with Seagate

Actually you have it completely the other way around, AMD Cpu's suck and their gpu's are good...

The Barracuda BTW nice AMD rig.

[ictdude1]

western digital has better warranty period and the speed is only slightly faster but my main reason for getting the wd would be its warranty
