Help building my pc

[MatthewLynch]

Hi guys, I'm planning to build my new pc and would like to ask if AMD 8-Core FX 9590 4.7 GHz Processor is compatible with MSI 990FXA GAMING Desktop Motherboard. I would also like to ask if you would recommend MSI Radeon R9 390 Gaming 8G Graphics Card or what would you recommend instead. All this is going to require a lot of power, of how much should my power supply be? Considering the processor requires 220W and for the graphics card they recommend 400W should I go for a 750W power supply or something a bit more powerful in case I add something else to the pc later? And what brand would you recommend for the power supply?

 

Thanks very much

One, Give us your budget, two the 9590 is trash for the GPU your getting.

I wouldn't get an FX CPU for gaming.

An i5 4690k is a lot better choice.

 

I would say a 650w PSU would be sufficient

 

I would get a R9 290x instead of the R9 390.

do you have a link to a website like PCPARTPICKER to make it easier to read (EG:http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/K4w8Bm)

What is the purpose of this build? Purely gaming?

Budget? Location?

[zzenigmaxzz]

you can use pcpartpicker.com , put all yoru parts in there and it will show you if they are compatible or not but from what newegg says it will not since it wont support a cpu needing over 200w

 

 

with that said i would also suggest not getting that cpu for gaming, youre better off with an i5 which will be at a comporable price point and be much better

[MatthewLynch]

Thanks for your recommendations. So what i5 would you recommend? Should I go for an i5 or an i7? I want the pc for gaming and also working on 3D modeling and some video editing 

[zzenigmaxzz]

im loving my 6600k but you can also get a 4690k for a bit less if you dont want the features the z170 chipset brings

 

an i7 will always be better but your gonna be raising the price about 100 bucks (or more)

[alexhelvetica]

Thanks for your recommendations. So what i5 would you recommend? Should I go for an i5 or an i7? I want the pc for gaming and also working on 3D modeling and some video editing 

I would go for any i7 with a k at the end of the model in a LGA 1150 or LGA 1151 socket.

 

But the FX should be fine for 3D modeling, since multi core workloads is the only thing it is good for.

(It doesn't preform that well in gaming though)

[MatthewLynch]

And what graphics card should I get then? The readon r9 390, the readon r9 290x or what other one? 

[zzenigmaxzz]

both are good cards, the 290 x will outperform slightly but the 390 has more vram which may come in to play a bit later on when games start needing more and more ram
