New build.

[Zin Gaming]

I'm planning on a new build since all my hardware is starting to show its age. Ive done all my research and I can't find any issues so far but if anyone else can find a issue before I order the parts that would be great. The build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tWLcNN

Scrap it, FX is horrible and a dead end with no future.

2 hdds? it is better to get one high capacity, or an hdd and ssd

[Fungal]

Don't ever spend $200 on ram unless you actually need it for like work use. Get only 1 hdd and 1 ssd. Swap out that cpu for a 6600

[TheLagDidIt]

Also, throw in some rgb lights for aesthetics. really nice

This is much better.

I will be getting a SSD instead of 2 HHDs and I do also do some work on my computer so I need the $200 of ram. Plus I'm going with AMD for the slightly better performance (8 cores at 4.0GHz) I'm not going up to a 1070 because Im trying to stay in a certain budget because I'm getting peripherals to go with it. I was asking if anyone could see any compatibility issues.

I am telling you, the parts you picked like everyone previously mentioned is overpriced. Why a 200$ RAM? No, you haven't done reasearch enough

More cores is not equal more performance. AMD has low IPC compared to an i5/i7 which means each of 8 core will perform significantly slower while an i3/i5/i7 would do much faster with their each core.

wait for ryzen

this will do far better than the fx 8350.

more cores does not equal to better performance. the FX 8350 uses an outdated architecture from 2011 with weak IPC that wasn't even the best at the time as it couldn't beat an i7 3770.

http://wccftech.com/intel-skylake-6700k-6600k-amd-fx-8370/ loses out on almost every test compared to the 6600k and 6700k.

Except temperature  

[SkilledRebuilds]

Minimum FPS is important.

 

Moreso....<> When it's NOT a AAA funded game dev/pub and you have to brute force the game within a couple of cores usage,..where that IPC helps.

 

You WANT the most out of your other hardware as well right....?,then go with Intel or Ryzen.
