Posted July 16, 2015 So I've had to say goodbye to my Intel System due to some specific reasons. And I'm going to go AMD..(Alot of the things I do for school and different courses requires more cores and these have been more performing than Intel Imo) Build; CPU: AMD FX 8350 CPU Cooler: Corsair H75 AIO Cooler RAM: 16GB Hyper X Fury (2x8) 1866Mhz MOTHERBOARD: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 PSU: Corsair CX500W Builder PSU GPU: GTX 960 EVGA Superclocked (1455Mhz) or Gigabyte Windforce R9 270X 4GB CASE: NZXT Source S340 Black & Blue STORAGE: WD GREEN 2TB I have enough to buy these, But I was thinking if it'd be a good enough build, I'll play games like GTA V Or so (I'm not trying to get as many fps, I'll play on like Mid/High/Ultra or of a mix) The 8 Cores comes in hand with me to be helpful for multicore rendering tasks.

Posted July 16, 2015 you can normally get a 280X for only slightly more than a 960, and it sure as hell outperforms it a thousand ways to sunday. I'd really suggest that, everything else seems totally fine. 280x no longer openly available in EU. Nvm. 960 is fine, other option would be a slightly more expensive 380 for roughly the same gpu horsepower. Don't go out of your way to get either over the other though.

Posted July 16, 2015 fx8350 is complete and utter trash for gta v. Just saying. Many people on this forum constantly complain with fx's and gta. also you should render with gpu. also green drive is not recommended even for secondary storage, only for archiving photos and stuff. I will keep recommending you intel even if you say you don't want intel, because when you start noticing amd sucking you will remember me telling you how you are making a mistake and it will eat you in your sleep.

Posted July 16, 2015 Wait, you have a 4770K and you are switching to an 8350? ... why? Your gtx 780 is better than the 960. Way better, in fact... Also, the 4770K's 8 logical cores are much, much stronger than 8350's 8 physical cores. You'd be making a significant downgrade, both CPU and GPU wise. i7 4790K || R9 290X + R9 290 || 16GB G.Skill TridentX 1866 || Gigabyte Z97MX Gaming 5 || Crucial MX100 256GB || WD Caviar Blue 1TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2015 how much did this cost because the gpu would have cost alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 16, 2015 Author It cost about £500 in total, I already have a few parts. @joshua.pearson I didn't have a 780, it was a 760 (Liquid Cooler split, shit went down etc etc, long story) @Litargirio I'll be fine with CPU, a mate of mine runs two 760's with the same PSU, #KeepTheAMDLoveAlive @revsilverspine I've seen different opinions, I'll see what the outcome is, it'll do me for now. @ZetZet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2015 Ofc its gonna be some Intel fan boys. I hate those guys. As for build get i5 When I shopped for parts situation was like this : fx was cheaper then i5 but decent am3+ was more expensive then 1150 mobo. When I calculated all it was same price. Well that was the price here cant say for sure for your place. Catman - a Wolverine wanna be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2015 Lay off the RAM and get a better Power supply ... ... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

It's just a personal opinion on the performance. if you play a single game i5 is instantly better, because rendering times you can wait for, framerates are gone and they won't be coming back anytime soon. i5 is slightly more expensive, am3+ mobos are more expensive and you are buying a liquid cooler, you could easily fit in a xeon in that budget.

Posted July 16, 2015 Author Oh, and the reason for the not so well on the LGA 1150 Side ,is im looking for MICRO ATX If i'd go for LGA 1150, But none of them offer a good amount of USB Slots, it's my main concern, as alot of things are being used lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2015 Whats the budget and specific use that your using it for? saying school stuuf that requires more cores is not a good answer.

If I'm right, from what you've said you had an accident with liquid cooling and stuff is dead? Have you tested all the parts to be sure? I have, they're not posting at all, GPU Is dead somehow, Motherboard & CPU. i cried erytiem | And the school stuff was for Engineering and Computer science, the developing of the projects we made, was more helpful due to more cores, I found from a friend of mine running the same CPU. Oh ... That's a shame ... Because CX series have a bad thermal threshold ... If you can get the Xeon , it would be great ... Yeah, i've heard about that. I've had a second thought on a Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4Ghz with a ASUS H97-I As it has everything i need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
