if you are going to use this for anything other than gaming I suggest an Intel processor

i would get a low end i5 instead od the fx

Change the CPU with an I5 (most probably the I5-4460) 

Unless you will get 32 GB of RAM a 2x4 kit will be better

I searched about that PSU and you won't need an 80+Silver

well not really im only getting this so i can play games like dayz standalone do you think it will be able to run dayz on hight settings ?

Like we said, the CPU is not great at all for it's price point nor performance

What's your budget and location?

Gaming- I5s are better because they give almost similar performance for a smaller cost

Multi-Threaded Gaming with slight CAD work- I7s are better for slight rendering and with games that require multi-threaded performance

Switch the CPU for an I5 if you're looking to game

If you are getting an I7 switch it with the K version because you can't overclock on non-K

The Z-Board is used for overclocking CPUs 

 

Never cheap out on a GPU if you're looking to game as it is used more often in the modern games

 

So get either:

 

I5-4460 with R9 380 or R9 280x

I5-4690k with R9 380

I5-4460 with R9 390

i7 is waste of money for gaming because the performance gain is very small and theyre more expensive than the i5. You would be better off spending the omney on a better gpu, maybe and r9 290?

Well it really depends on what game it is so this isn't entirely true

Some games require a few threads, but the newer games are requiring more multi-thread performance

 

But then again with his budget he could settle for an I5 as it fits his budget quite well

what GPU would be best for a open world game like dayz ? if you know if not its okay and thank you for the advise

[Guest]

Price for performance: AMD R9 380

Best performance within budget: AMD R9 280x

A little bit faster but budget will be higher: AMD R9 390

the website i am useing don't have the Amd R9 280 but it has the radeon R9 380 2gb ? is that good

yaay i did it i got an intel i5 and a R9 380 thanks for every one's help

Games are just starting to take advantage of 4 phisical cores. A high end i5 wont bottleneck any single gpu on the market. i7 is waste of money because in gaming youre going to get like 3-5fps over an high end  i5 and its like 70-100$ more expensive. You are going to get much more fps if you spent that money on a better gpu.

what is your budget? do you need any peripherals? are you going to overclock the cpu and gpu?
