Hello guys,

 

I'm commited to grab a r9 390 sapphire or msi ,but still looking at 970 evga, i hope sapphire will fit in this case,any other stuff i should change ? This build is mainly for gaming,This all comes about for 1100$ ( psu price isn't setted up for some reason,it's tier2 should be fine ^_^ ). Should i consider taking cheaper mobo ? I will be overclocking CPU at some point.Cheers ! :D

Hello guys,

Overclocking really isn't nessisary for gaming, were you going to buy a 144hz display at some point? because otherwise you'd be better off overall with something like this, that has twice the CPU threads, twice the RAM, and a much larger SSD at under $1000

 

and the 390 is overall faster than the 970, in addition you save money on a free-sync display vs a G-sync display.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

It's exactly the same as an i7 it just has no iGPU and supports ECC if you ever want to build a server with it. you'd need to get a motherboard that supports ECC though to do that in the future
