Friends' build : basilisk

[Bajantechnician]

So over the weekend, I had gone over to my friends house, and built him his first gaming pc( he's always gamed on Mac)

So everything starts with the case and motherboard.

Motherboard is a 970a sli krait edition

Cpu is a Fx8530

120 gb muskin ssd

Progress so far

Psu is a roswill 500watt psu

1 1tb Seagate hdd(would of personally used WD, as he was on a budget)

Gpu is a msi gtx 960 2gb

Progress with ram

Ram is 2x8 gb 1866mhz dominator platinum

Back

Closed up. Was originally black and white. He decided to add red as accents.

Because the bottom was red, and the inside white, he wanted something like a transition

Red leds are placed on the right sure, white on top and bottom

Result

I can spot two things the rest of everyone will disagree with.

1) The 8350

2) The 960

[Bajantechnician]

Also to note, the encase is the NZXT s340. A good case to build in, if you don't have a lot of stuff to put in it like mine.
personal build log coming soon

Upgrading from stock cooler to NZXT X61

What does reserved mean in this context?

With source games, yes because an Intel CPU would give higher average FPS and higher minimum FPS. Also, if @op's friend decides to play more games then a 380 may perform up to 15% better depending on the game.

[Bajantechnician]

fallout 4 at med settings, 1080p 60fps?

That will be the most demanding game he will play

That is true due the fact Intel CPU has better single threaded performance which most games needs. I have presumed all my friend to go with Intel like i5 and they never regretted it won't be a bottleneck for a while.

If you had i5 you could get stable fps, as my previous FX6300 OC drops down to 10-20fps but after changing to I7 6700k and had no problem(stable 60fps). Personally he could have waited for Zen if you he wanted to go AMD, a intel is still a much better option for gaming.

It's already built, get over it.

 

Are you one of those people who has to shit on everyone else's fun? It's a build log not a discussion on what should be in the build...

Yah, now be a good boy and behave lol, personally I would of put an 8370E in the 970 Krait due to the VRM but if it's stock it should be okay.

also, sorry, it's a Fx 8350.

[Benji_w]

also, sorry, it's a Fx 8350.

 

I know, personally wouldn't put anything over 95w TDP in the 970 krait. But it will be fine stock, gotta say it's looking good!
