Build!

[Skyfliyer]

Hi all! 

 

So I'm planning a build that would be around $1,300 USD (Can be a little higher or lower), that would include a bit of content creating (video editing, photoshop, illustrator), and obviously gaming as well, so I came up with this build:

Are there any improvements that I should make to that? Any recommendations would be awesome. Thanks!

More cores. Good performance. Cheaper than Intel.

It would be USD, just I live in Canada while parents live in US, so I'm trying to convert it to make it easier for them.

more cores hasn't always worked for amd though has it?

 

but with Zen being so close to launch it is worth waiting to see how it performs and the price of it.

Yeah cause single threaded performance was bad. But we know that this aspect will be different this time around.

Well we wont know until actual reviewers and tech channels get some benchmarks done on them.

yes it looks good. wait for kaby lake / zen. but if you need to buy now, then its good. I would save money and get a h110 / b150 MBD if not overclocking. You have to get a Z170 MBD if overclocking

I think it's safe to say that at the very least it won't be utter garbage.
