The link is not working and also I am not too sure what you want this pc for. But for general usage and light gaming I would probably use AMD so maybe for the cpu the FX8350 with a fairly quiet cooler and for the graphics card maybe a NVIDIA 960 or a AMD 280... something like this:

I went with the 280 for the video card because it has 1GB more so it should be good if you wan to run higher resolutions. I also added an SSD for your OS so that booting times for your computer are fairly quick. As for the RAM I went with the cheapest I could find from a reputable brand and 8GB dhould be enough for anything even gaming and all type of office work including some light video/photo editing. AMD is not the best at single core performance but depending on what you want to do with your pc this won't matter. For example, if the main purpose is to game maybe the i3 or a cheaper i5 will suffice but I believe that the 8 cores on the FX9350 will give a better all round pc for a few years. Then you can decide to upgrade to the upcoming AMD CPUs if you want and a better graphics card too which is why I went for a 600W power supply.

With all due respect I think that crossfire with a couple of 360s is a waste of space and money considering the rest of your build. I would really recommend that you take a loo at the build a previously posted because the 280 will have better performance overall because it will be paired with the 8350 and it has 3gb which is plenty and if later down the road you want to go crossfire you can do so because the 280 is not much more expensive than the 360 and the power supply has plenty of juice to power it (BTW you forgot your power supply which will take you a bit above $700).

Case comes with one also I have 4gb of GDDR5 so more there and the 280 has a lower core clock then the R7 360

are you completely opposed to going with intel?

No Intel and do not ask for me to overclock this I am too new

why do you like amd so much over intel?

[Nena Trinity]

Get a AMD Athlon X4 860K over that CPU! (looks like you like this best? well beware some motherboards need BIOS update for FM2+)

 

Or if you are gonna upgrade later you can go Intel.  (You can hold out with FM2+ until Zen in late 2016!)

[AmdIsBetterThenIntel/Blue]

why do you like amd so much over intel?

Because Amd has better out the box performance unlike most low priced intel chips witch need overclocking

okay that's up to you...still I would try to fit in some more piwerful cpu at least like the fx6300

[Nena Trinity]

FX-6350 is the best 6-core model also they are gonna make a new FX-6330 but I am not sure how good it is yet...

Number of cores does not mean better performance the current sweet spot for cores is 4 with ram it is 8 you do not benefit from more this is just for gaming not editing and streaming 

6300 3.5 ghz 6 cores 4350 4.2 ghz 4 cores

6300 3.5 ghz 6 cores 4350 4.2 ghz 4 cores

True that is why I voted for Athlon X4 860K!

 

Still many AAA title uses 6-8 cores...

If you are saying that this is just for gaming then I am sorry but Intel would be better value. The reason I went with amd was because the number of cores meant that it would be a good all round pc for anything. But since you are just gonna use it for gaming then I think we all know Intel has much better single core performance, even without overclocking.

Depends how you define 'out of the box performance'. It also varies with different work loads.

If you were building a purely rendering rig, FX-8350 all the way. For gaming, go Intel. Do it, thank us later.

Your statement is actually incorrect, you need to overclock the nuts off AMD chips to be competitive with equivalent Intel chips. Some benchmarks have shown the FX-9590 be beaten by an i3. A fucking i3. The FX-series architecture is ancient and not worth considering for a gaming rig.

 

Case comes with one also I have 4gb of GDDR5 so more there and the 280 has a lower core clock then the R7 360 

Xfire R7 360s is a terrible idea. When you have two video cards working together, they don't pool their VRAM. The data on the VRAM is cloned between each card. So you'd still have an effective 2GB of usable VRAM.

You can't compare the clocks of two totally different cards with totally different GPUs. Comparing these clocks is okay if you're comparing an MSI GTX 970 with say an EVGA GTX 970 SC, but comparing an EVGA GTX 750 Ti FTW with an EVGA GTX 970 SC is pointless. The same applies for AMD.

Who said better? (I am just saying it works!)

Arma 3 needs a i7 or better to run that game is hell I heard!

 

Rest is probably fine...

It does not who did you hear this from maybe to run ultra 

People have run it with a iGPU and a R7250 

[AmdIsBetterThenIntel/Blue]

I have changed my goal and budget I want this for gaming and streaming budget is 1200 I am water Cooling

I may buy Mod cables from ncix 

I plane on Crossfire later that's why the PSU is 750

Arma 3 does not need a i7 or better,who told you this,you dont need to be maxing out fps on ultra,i have arma 3 on a shitty ass hp(some intel quad core 2.6 ghz and a gtx 750(bottlenecks a lot)and i can run it on standard at 25 fps.not here to cause stuff,just to show you you don't need a i7 for arma 3.
