Upgrade from 990fx to X99 (feel free to tell me your opinions)

[Bigst4v4]

So a couple of days ago I upgraded from the following config:

 

AMD FX 8350 

 

16GB of HyperX Fury DDR3 1666MHZ 

 

Asus 990fx sabertooth mobo 

 

850 evo 250GB (boot)

 

1 x 1tb Caviar blue Western digital 

1 x 2tb Green Western digital 

 

CX750W Corsair PSU 

 

H60 Hydro cooler 

 

R9 390 8GB XFX Black ed

 

now baring in mind that I only changed the heart of the config which included memory, cpu and mobo to this 

 

Intel 5820k OC to 3.7GHz

 

16GB of Corsair LPX DDR4 2133MHZ 

 

Gigabyte X99 SLI board 

 

850 evo 250GB (boot)

 

1 x 1tb Caviar blue Western digital 

1 x 2tb Green Western digital 

 

CX750W Corsair PSU 

 

H60 Hydro cooler 

 

R9 390 8GB XFX Black ed

 

Tell me what you think ? 

I will post some pics when I get around to sorting the cable management out (would of sorted it out when I was upgrading but it was like 2 in the morning haha)

I would kinda seriously get a new psu, not that's it's not got enough wattage, but the quality of cx power supplies are abominable, go with something like an evga supernova or rm series psu.

CX 750 is a good unit.

 

They're rebranded CS PSUs.

 

And it can handle this configuration just fine.

nope,

CS/CX/VS are meant for basic builds, like an office pc , not for gaming/overclocking/enthusiast builds.

the x99(5820) is a GODDAMN enthusiast platform.

even in corsair site says that they are for basic builds.

finally the CX over 600w are rebrands of the older GS series, not that bad, but not that good either.
