build AMD "Morgana" Build

[N4vySc4n]

Hello my fellow LTT-guys!

 

I have been planning my new computer build which is gonna be AMD build and is hopefully gonna serve me for at least 5 years. I have always been AMD-fanboy , don't know why, maybe I just wanna heat up my room at winter I just want to hear opinions about my plans and my planned components.

 

Components for my build are gonna be:

 

Case: BitFenix Neos White/Purple w/ window

Power Supply: Gigabyte B700H Semi Modular 80+ Bronze

Motherboard: AsRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 ATX

Processor: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core

Graphics Card: AMD Sapphire Radeon R9 380 Nitro 4GB GDDR5

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB 1866MHz DDR3 White Edition (4x4GB)

Hard Drive: Western Digital WD Blue 7200RPM 3,5"

SSD: Toshiba Q300 240GB 550/520MB/s 2,5"

WLAN Card: TP-Link TL-WN881ND N300 300Mbps PCI-e x1

DVD Drive: Asus DRW-24F1MT DVD+/-RW

Floppy Drive: Yes you read right, good old floppy drive from my ancient Fujitsu Siemens Scenic P300

Processor Cooler: Deepcool GAMMAXX 400

Fans: Corsair SP120 120mm Purple LED 1650RPM (3 for actual case, 2 for processor cooler and maybe 2 for replacing GPU stock fans if they will even fit)

LEDs: CableMod WideBeam Foam Adhesive 30cm LED-stripe Purple (2 of those for case lighting)

Cables: CableMod or BitFenix SATAIII Cable White (3 of those for my white cable theme, HDD, SDD and DVD)

Keyboard and Mouse: CoolerMaster CM Storm Octane (Keyboard + Mouse Bundle)

Headset: Speedlink CONIUX Stereo Gaming Headset

Monitors: Acer S230HL Full HD 23" (2 of those for dual screen setup)

 

I'm also going to do this "ghetto" cable sleeving so I'm going to wrap the PSU cables with white electric tape

So will my build be "good" and is there anything to do better or tweak little?

 

Thanks already for help and comments!

Buying a 8350 right now is one of the worst things you can do. An i5 outperforms in games and costs about the same. Also, different PSU please. One from tiers 1 to 4 on this list:

I mean, if your adamant on going AMD for the CPU, your call. OC the shit outta it.

are you sure you want to get the 8350?

there's always used Haswell/Ivy Bridge market, Zen is around the corner

Hi it is a good build in the sense it will work and will play most games NOW, but it definitely won't last for 5 years unless you are happy to play at low and / or 30 FPS.

However, you can upgrade it in the future so you're good to go!

wait for zen, also seen very bad reviews for toshiba q300

I don't really actually know it, AMD would be my preference

I had a 9370, and had more than 30fps with a 280x.

My statement about 30FPS was in the future, sorry if that wasn't clear

(e.g 2 years he will prob get 30fps)

Yeah, 60fps is always better than 30fps but i think i can manage with 30

What are you using right now?

like literally Polaris GPUs are launching next month and Zen CPUs should be available by the end of the year, if you wait out for those then you'll be confident that the machine can last you very long.

the 8350 was a good buy when it launched, but right now it's already old and the new stuff is right around the corner

[Castdeath97]

I wouldn't bet on a system with a CPU architecture from 2012 to last any close to 5 years. Wait for Zen and polaris.

For being honest, I'm using my Scenic P300 from 2005 so... I need just "fair" computer so I'm not going to play those "most amazing graphics ultra hd 4k"-games

For my usage I think that build is going to last atleast "pretty good"

It doesn't make since to get now though, it's just a couple of weeks before polaris comes. Just wait.
