EXCELLENT OR FOOLISH

[donsleeq]

With a budget of $2500 someone followed the "more GPU power YAAAAAAH! " approach and did this disaster what do you think??? Good idea or absolutely terrible build .. i think this is the worst build i have ever seen in my life

Well, i guess it could be worse, but it's bad, very bad.

8350 with Hyper212+

Not ideal for chasing the ultimate topend overclock.(past 4.5Ghz)...that he WILL want.

 

 

/Imagining a $2500 spend.... holy shhhhhhhh

You know what's more stupid than buying $2500 amd build? Buying $2500 iMac.

At least with an iMac you get a decent CPU (Intel IPC @ 3.8Ghz Turbo), but otherwise overpriced garbage.

 

Buying a $2500 AMD build and using it as a hackintosh?

It's not foolish, if (and its a flippin big if) the system is used for either mining, or rendering or transcoding. The money is in the GPUs. What's odd though is that to render/transcode, you would need at least 2x (and beter still with 4x) the RAM, which should also be rated to 2133.

 

The 8350 beats any I5 in those 3 areas (and only those 3). For video, the 8350 (as it has 4 cores/8 threads) is the same as the 1st gen I7 CPUs, for a fraction of the cost. But, with just months to go until the release of AMD Zen & Intel's next gen too, it seems totally daft to build a system like that now.

But iMac only has 1 gpu at that price.  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Guess which pc is worse. 

Both of them are so bad to define actually.

They should never make a pc, and I mean the Apple, and the guy who built and suggested amd build.

i actually don't have a problem with storage as it depends on his needs anyway ( many people can't make use of 500gb) , but i do agree about the ram . Only budget builds should be using 8gb ...
