Hi,

I have some plans to build a pc:

Cpu: amd fx-9370 (not gonna oc)

Mobo: asus m5a99x evo r2.0

Ram: 2x8gb kingstone hyperx fury ddr3 ram

Cooling: noctua nh-u14s

Graphics card: Nvidia geforce 960 msi 4gb

Storage: 1x seagate barracuda 2000gb 7200rpm hdd

1x kingston v300 ssdnow 240gb

Psu: seasonic m12ii 520w bronze

Cheapo optical drive

I've heard some stuff about that cpu about the power consumption and stuff so i was wondering if this system will run stable

Thanks

If you're getting this pc to stick with, get an 8320 or 8350 AMD FX, or go intel if you're planning to upgrade.

I have already bought the motherboard so it has to be an amd cpu, the rest of the system ive done extensive research on, i was really just wondering if that cpu would run well with my motherboard because ive heard some stuff about some motherboard simply not being able to handle the fx9370 also psu. Power draw on fx9370 is huge and was wondering if psu would be sufficient.

If you bought the motherboard return it. I highly can not suggest a FX cpu especially since they will bottleneck cards as low as a GTX 960 or R9 380

Yeah little problem i bought it a year ago. I thought it would be smart to already buy some parts and i regret that because the psu and the cooler i bought both turned out to not be good enough and i had to sell them for less :'(

I am not a smart man.

this is funny Op asked about the power supply and all the replies are about cpu and gpu.

It's called helping because the build overall could be improve if it isn't bought yet

Well with Intel you do not need to spend as much on the CPU Cooler ect.. You might be able to get a decent rig. What is you max budget for the whole?
