[nomnom123qwe]

Before u start reading this note i live in india and everything is about 50 $ more from us rate's

 

so 2.5 years ago i built a pc i cheap-ed out on some things and it came biting me in the ###

 

the things i cheap-ed out on pc case , cpu cooler , motherboard , psu and monitor 

 

now i got 510 $ to fix it up and i need ur valuable opinion on parts guys 

 

the rig i made two years ago 

 

 

• Cpu - 8350 
• Ram - CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9 x2
• Motherboard - GA970A DS3 Rev 1.1
• Gpu - 7870 Ghz edition sapphire 
• Hardisk - 1 Tb Samsung SATA 
• Case - elite 310 'standard' by Cooler master 
• cpu cooler - 212 evo 
• psu - 500W cooler master thunder 
• Monitor - 1600x900 monitor by AOC

 

 

so for this fixer upper my first job was to rma everything to be sure the parts i am using aren't bad of any sort ...

 

now i need to select new parts and thanks to this awesome community i already have selected some of the parts which i can manage to buy !

 

but here are the part's i am looking to change motherboard , psu , case , cpu cooler  and **monitor if i have any budget left**

 

and before u tell me to use some of the old parts which i want to change i should inform u the issues i am having 

 

u can just skip this part if u want to no bigge ...

ill start with

 

motherboard - everything external does not work eg - external hardisks in usb 2.0 ports for some reason , it runs my ram on 1333 mhz by defualt if i oc it then it wont boot if i oc it manually it will boot but will increase cpu temps by 10 c , it does not support my cpu officially yeah i know i am idiot i bought it in the first place ..

 

cpu cooler - well the room temperatures is so hot here even with 6 fans in the case it went 80 c while playing cs go and it would even go higher if i played without v sync

 

psu - no issues yet though its cheap quality so maybe its causing issues i just  cant tell 

 

case - its just shit and i just want to change it

 

monitor - no issues yet  

 

ok u can continue reading now

 

 

now the parts i have selected 

 

motherboard - MSI 970 gaming 

 

psu - Seasonic S12G-650 650 Watts PSU

 

case - NZXT Phantom 240 Mid-Tower Chassis  will my gpu fit in this case ?

 

cpu cooler - Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX Extreme will this install on 8350 ?

 i do not know much in this area can anyone care to explain heard alot that water coolers are just pumps waiting to fail ?

 

 

also i need some one who can tell me where i can buy cheap dust filters as there is no site which sells it here in my country and my pc gets really dusty since i am opting for a window case i really do not want it to get dusty thanks

 

ps - i live in india thanks again ur help is appreciated 

 

if u want to know where i shop from 

 

theitdepot , flipkart  , snapdeal , primeabgb , mdcomputers , amazon,in 

 

 

i basically buy from which ever one is selling it cheap 

[nomnom123qwe]

I feel you !

I am from Kerala in India

Also try newegg India they have all types of pc components compared to the websites you listed.pc specialists to be exact

-SNIP-

 

Everything looks good overall, for fan filters if you could get a hold of silverstone filters they are very fine filter or DIY it with pantyhose material.

isnt dual rail better ?

Well the 8350 is still a champ and aged quite well I think, good to see your still able to use it

[iHardware Shelden]

isnt dual rail better ?

In reality, yes, yes it is. I learned when a system I worked on the 12v rail shorted cause of a form of bad connection. Luckily it was dual 12v and only lost the hard drive, nothing else. Also that psu is a tank

[W-L]

isnt dual rail better ?

 

They're about the same theses days, usually before you would have to balance your systems components on both rails to not overload a single rail, most PSU's are single rail theses days or have multiple rails joined together to make it a single rail so you have nothing to worry about balancing.

[nomnom123qwe]

well if it does the stuff i want to do on it and does not give any issues i certainly do not have any issues with it 

 

 

ps - besides i can not sell it lol

Dude the 970 Gaming is shit board due to shitty VRMs and Mosfets, best off getting a UD3P, M5A97 R2.0, or a 990FX non MSI/Asrock board.

He had a thread earlier talking about how in his case its really the best/only option. Also he is not overclocking so he should be more than fine.

[nomnom123qwe]

any one care to explain this cpu cooler - h100 ? maybe i do not know much in this area can anyone care to explain heard alot that water coolers are just pumps waiting to fail ?

??? though i heard kraken is the master race  NZXT Kraken X61 140mm Liquid CPU Cooler or NZXT Kraken X60 CPU Water Cooler

 vs h100 ?

 

NVM KRAKEN ISNT AVAILABLE IN INDIA SADLY

It's still going to be a shit board.

This would be better to buy

well i think i have told u  those boards are not in my budget + for the price they just aren't worth it + i wont be overclocking

Yet your going to face a risk of the board catching on fire...

Here's a example...

well how many times have we been through this ? it was wrong cpu and wrong board

 

i have been running my 8350 on stock for last 2 years the board still works fine its 4+1 ur argument is invalid !

Haha nope, you had a GIGABYTE board which is different that the MSI board that you want. 

The VRM design is way different from MSI's which is shit. 

I'm not going stop you buying a 970 Gaming, but i'm going say it's not recommended at all. If it blows up then don't go to me blaming as i said avoid MSI AM3+ boards. 

The 9590 is basically a 8320 clocked at 5GHZ. 

[Mew]

Do not change your motherboard because you're just wasting money spending any more on a dead platform.

k hows this ? 

nvm brb

[Aniallation]

Here's a example...

That's not a very good example, the 970A Krait is only a 4+1 board, you are NOT supposed to run a 9590 in it so that fire was because that guy is stupid and didn't buy a board that has good enough VRMs to support his PC. The 970 Gaming is a 6+2 and the 8350 uses a lot less power. It will be fine.

970 Gaming is better then M5A97 R2.0, MSI's older VRM designs on AM3+ were shit I do agree, but the 970 Gaming is much different and improved from their past garbage. 

 

i have been running my 8350 on stock for last 2 years the board still works fine its 4+1 ur argument is invalid ! 

4+1 will handle 125W stock. I've been running my Phenom II X6 on 4+1 with a slight overclock (2.8 to 3.2) for the past 3 years, on an Asus M5A88-M (no VRM heatsinks) and have not had a single issue, still going strong today. However personal experience != real-world results, so the higher quality of a board you can buy the better.

So @Gofspar is stupid?

hmm was probably thinking some other board

But still the 970 gaming is crap from what i seen as the board may still fail because of no VRM overvolt protection unlike other boards.

If in a 1st world country and bought FX instead of Intel, yes.

Should not be an issue at stock speeds though. If overclocking I would definitely suggest the UD3P instead but at stock I wouldn't mind the 970 Gaming especially if looks is a concern

 FX is a garbage platform anyway.
