Is this Build Justifiable for My Purposes?

[vibeit]

I'm planning to build a PC for 3d printing, web development, and at the minimum running fallout 4, is this build suited for those?

 

• CPU: AMD A10-7890K 4.1GHz Quad-Core Processor
• RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory
• Mobo: Asus A88XM-A Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard
• Graphics Card: MSI Radeon R7 250 2GB Video Card <- I looked at forums and it's said that this card will work perfectly without bottlenecks with the APU.

My budget must not exceed $1000

Cheers!

32gb of ram why???

i would skip amd and go with intel, or wait until zen is out

@deXxterlab97 is right yet again. good job dex

• 32 GB of RAM -> I just like to fill the slots for the mobo (I might have some minor OCD) and some future proofing, I guess. And I plan to render some 3d models with many vertices on them.

Look my build way better

More budget friendly approach with a SSD. Don't use AMD cpus.

Is that processor on your build faster than the APU I chose despite being both 4 Cores?

it's like comparing a 4 legged turtle and a 4 legged horse

Let's not talk about the tortoise and the hare again. Or my version, the Miata and the Mustang.

Ridiculously faster, yes.

I was looking at the hertz. The APU was 4.1 Ghz and the one you gave was 3.5 Ghz so that really throws off a lot of confusion.

It's not about hertz

Clock speed is only half of the equation.

 

(Instructions per cycle) X (Clock speed) = Performance!

Raw clock speed doesn't really mean anything. The AMD FX-9590 has a boost clock of 5.0 GHz and is an "8-core" CPU, but my i7-980X (a processor that is almost seven years old) still beats it at 3.3 GHz, and destroys it when overclocked to 4.0 GHz.

 

What matters is instructions per clock cycle. Intel currently has AMD squarely beat in this regard.

 

Edit: ARikozuM beat me to it!

It is. The amount of Cores isn't everything, otherwise a lot of people would still be using Core2 Quads. Also clock speed isn't everything ether. My 7 year old old Phenom II 965 (Quad core 3.4Ghz from ~2009) is flat out worse then a lot of the modern CPUs even if they are 3.0Ghz. EDIT: I didn't realize the CPU was that old... damn

The i5 mentioned does have some sorta upgrade path with the 6700k and I think Kabylake is going to use the same socket? - So if the board breaks... Or something, you can still find boards laying around. FM2... I have a feeling will die quickly once AM4 boards come out. - Have they even made new FM2 boards in the past couple of years? I don't think Ive ever seen one with USB 3.1...

Other then that the board has more up to date features like M.2, and USB 3.1.

AMDs CPUs really need an update since they feel like they are really far behind.

Wow! Good thing I didn't buy a PC last year with the whole clock speed mindset.

Yeah. Now you know. Also 16 gb of ram is more than enough. Go 6600k and a 1070 and you are set
