AMD build thoughts and or concerns?

[Chillmasterkelly]

Processor – AMD FX 8350
Motherboard – Asus Crosshair V Formula
Graphics Card – GTX 780 (Best possible graphics card, ti is too expensive)
RAM – 16GB Corsair Dominator 1600
SSD – Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (Can be reduced to 128)
PSU – 850 Watts
Computer Case – Something White (Maybe less if you want it to be)
Total: 1280.00~~~Roughly

My budget is around 1300 dollars roughly so the price is right. I am leaving small items that add up to roughly 100 such as any fans or LEDS or whatever else we decide to through in it.

Give me your opinions? What can be improved and Why?
Its going to be a pc used stricktly for gaming. I render and edit videos. Strictly AMD build. No intel allowed.

Not bad...

You only need 650W or so for a single GTX 780. Do get the 850W PSU if you want to add a second graphics card later.
What kind of PSU are you looking at?

Some ideas for the case:

NZXT Phantom PHAN-001WT

Corsair Graphite Series 600T

Corsair Carbide Series 500R

We have a Corsair 750 on ebay on bid currently. It will be purchased for under $100 if we win it.

There's a Corsair TX750 at newegg for $89.99+$6 shipping (after rebate), for example.

or the 650W version for $70+$4 - if you're not interested in SLI
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020

Be careful, not all Corsair 750W PSUs are equal. For example the CX is not as good as the TX.

Currently bidding on a 750 cx because it has better ratings. Why is the CX not as good as the TX?

Cheaper components/capacitors. Some corsairs are oems of Seasonic, much better, esp for oc'ing. Hope it helps.

If only I understood that lol. This is precisely why I am building a pc. To learn about the hardware. Why things are better than the other. Could you reword that for me? It would help me in my learning experience

You could probably shave off a few $$ if you get a fx8320 and 8gb of ram if its just a gaming rig

No worries 😛 Some psu's are made by some companies are rebranded, but made at the same factory/certain parts. Some corsairs are basic&use another company (such as cx series i think) Some corsairs are made by Seasonic(a very good psu company) Alot of ppl often suggest Seasonic, xfx (aslo made/similar parts to seasonic), antec or some* corsair (higher end models- cant remember off top of head) Other than that you're build looks solid! I hope it helps!

Yea the 8320 is a slightly lower clocked 8350(i think some slight differences), for the money great value& you can oc the 8320 to a 8350, really depends on budget etc... you have a top mobo selected so will handle pretty much anything.

You could also cut the price a bit by getting only 8 GB of RAM for now. It is enough for games.

Mind you, this might hurt when rendering/editing videos. Start with 8 GB, render some large videos, check the memory usage in Task Manager. Add another 8 GB if you see it's needed.
