Is this Build good enough? Repost, with a better description

[System_Of_A_Game]

Hi, guys. I'm from Mexico and my currency is MXN, 1$ USD = 13.37 MXN as for today. Also My Budget is 720$, the build below cost 702$

So, for a couple of months, I've been think in build a New PC. I posted a couple of threads here and now i've decide what will my build be. I want a Gaming PC, i already have 126+ Games on my Steam + Origin account... I used to have a descent PC ._.

 

I'm from Mexico, so :1 USD= 13.37 MX (Thank you, Siria!!... That build was 500 MXN cheaper 2 weeks ago... Again, thank you, Siria for making the Dollar increas in 3 days!). 9,389MXN its 702$ USD...

I CAN'T STRETCH MY BUDGET ANY LONGER (Thanks to, Siria, again), So... What do you say, guys, is it okay for gaming on 1080?.
I can't upgrade the Graphic card, 2,900MXN= 219 USD, A 7950 is 5,100MXN (381 USD) and a 7970 It's like 7000 MXN. I do have plans to run a Crossfire later on to increse the performance, buy more RAM ASAP and a SSD.

 

BTW, I'm buying from CyberPuerta.MX which is the Cheapest Online Store, so... I won't find most cheaper prices

 

PS: I did flag my old post to the Admins, so... Sorry about the Repost, but i've already told the Admins

You should just edit your post in your other thread next time.

I would really recommend a 2gb card. A 2gb 7850 is about ten bucks more

MXN mean Moneda Mexicana Nacional (National Mexican Coin)... PESO for most of the People, but it's written MXN

Never heard of that motherboard. Other than that get a slightly better card. Looks pretty solid over all, although no case or SSD.

I didn't even know ECS had a 990fx board

I already have a Cooler Master HAF and unfortuntely, that SSD will have to wait... Budget .

It's an Elitegroup Mother Board: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailID=1433&CategoryID=1&DetailName=Feature&MenuID=115&LanID=0 And it has great features, and at a very affordable prices.

Edit:For that price could go with a: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P (970 , at least it has Crossfire) or an Asus M5A97 R2.0 actually, those 2 are 30 bucks cheaper... So, i'm not sure

I did a build for a friend with an m5a97 and it is a BEAST. I would definitely recommend it. If you're happy with your current board though then stick with it!

Well those 30 bucks, could be the diferrence between getting 8 or 4 GB of RAM... Though, i think in the Long run and when i get another 7850 for Crossfire, the Dual X16 Pci Will be better

Didn't notice the 4gb. Personally i would go Asus and 8gb. But it's your choice not mine.

What's your actual budget? I'm avoiding conversions because it's a bad habit and you should avoid it whenever possible.

That build is my Budget, i can't go up even a penny... it's 720$ American Dollars. That build, should give you an idea of the prices on Mexico .

I'd highly recommend switching out the motherboard for an Asus M5A97 or a Gigabyte 970 D3P, as the ECS board really lacks in terms of features and overclocking potential.

I'm really thinking about it, but doesn't the 990FX chipset has more  advantages than the 970, even if it is on a ECS?

 

EDIT: Specially for a noobclocker like me, who also is  planing on making a Crossfire configuration later on?

There is really no situation where I'd recommend the ECS board, except if you intend to run your CPU at stock.

You'll be much better off with a good 970 board as opposed to a very low end 990fx board.

A good option if you want to crossfire later on is the Asus M5A99X EVO, it's a 990X board, which sits between the 970 & 990FX SKUs, it's an excellent board for overclocking & you good enough lanes for good crossfire scaling.

Get 8GB of RAM for 20$ more

Fair enough, i´ll get the Gygabyte 970 D3P and use the extra cash to get 8 GB of ram. I mean, it´s a "crossfire ready", so i doubt the scalling will be bad
