OP APU system

[Simenr2812]

Hey I am low on cash but want to try and make custom computers, therefore I have some questions before my first atemt.

How will the 6800K stack up as an gamer??? (would it be better to wait for next gen(heard it was gonna be a lot better))?

Is the 450w PSU too overpowered???

Is the h90 a good solution for some overclocking???

Any other suggestions??? (especially motherboards)

 

Specs:

APU: AMD A10-6800K

MB: MSI FM2-A75IA-e53

RAM: corsair venegance 1600mhz 2x4GB

PSU: silverstone SST-ST45SF 450W

Cooler: corsair H90

SSD: samsung 840 120GB

HDD: WD mobile blue 1TB 2.5"

Unless you are planning to drop a GPU in to crossfire the psu will be overkill but rather get it since it give you upgradability.

 

Edit: Try get ram with 1866Mhz or higher since APU's benefit for faster speeds.

 

Edit 2: The H90 is probably the best AIO for you in the kind of case design. If you can put it in push/pull it should drop a few degrees.

No I am not planning any GPU upgrade, the case is not build for that.

 

The RAM tip I will take, dident know that. THANKS!!!

 

Don't plan on doing push pull it is not ment to set any records:) (I am just gona use a great noctua fan instead!)

What case are you planning to use?

[Simenr2812]

The case is build with plywood by myself;)

So you are using that case in the OP?

[Simenr2812]

Edit: Sorry, I miss read your one post. (I worked out the case is not designed for a gpu :D)

yeah, that is why I ask about APU performance;)

APU's can be little beast pcs. RAM speeds is a must. And like I said, you can always add a gpu if you find you need more power :)

Not sure what your budget is but a few recommended changes: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1dVCR

Thanks, I am going to change the memory, but there is no room for an standard PSU in the case, so i have to use the sfx one.

Alright. Just so you know, you could get a weaker psu.

I would still get the 450w due to the small price gap but just...saiyan.
