[Gianluca_4]

Hi everyone.
I'm going to buy a pc with this specific:

Video Card: Sapphire Vapor-X R9 280x 3Gb

- Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A-UDP3 REV 2.0

-Processor: AMD FX-8320 AM3+, 8-core 3.5Ghz

-CPU Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper 212EVO

-Ram: Kingston HyperX Fury DDR-III da 8GB (1x8) 1866 Blu

-Hard Disk: Western Digital 500GB

-Power Pack: Antec VPF 650F EC Alimentatore 650W Bronze 80+, Nero

-Case: BitFenix Shinobi Midi-Tower Bianco

I buying it for 400€.

Is it good? Like for games like the Dragon Age and Mass Effect Trilogy, skyrim etc etc.?
Otherwise can you link maybe some good gaming pc?

Cheaper. Bit better in the performance department. That system is becoming outdated. 😛

(Yes, I know, my list is in USD, but I don't know any sites to build based on current euro pricing. I used conversion, but that's still not completely accurate.)

Also, because I know someone will eventually ask the question, "How the **** is a dual-core Pentium better than a 8-core, 8 thread FX?" Welp, the cores on said FX are weak, and it does a very, VERY horrid job of utilizing all those 'threads'.

@atomicdonut17 thx for the link! I'm going to check out as soon as i can! Also what do you think about the specific i posted?

Most of us here will tell you to stay away from an FX build. It's old, and a dead end platform, and out performed by the new Pentium chips.

Just change it from "United States in the upper right corner to a European nation (i.e. Italia, Deutschland, Espana, etc.), & it'll switch over.

Fair warning, none of the countries seem to have that particular case or PSU available, & even without those 2 items the build is coming in over budget (ranges from 420-430€).

That all depends on the game/application in question. However, I would agree that an FX build is not the way to go for a new-build PC, but more from a "future upgradability" perspective than actual performance.

I'm will just play with those game i mentioned actually, i will probably ise it more for work and for digital drawing.

While FX CPU's are not recommended, a 2 core/2 thread Intel CPU is going to have problems with many games. At least look at an i3, unless building for a specific game which doesn't use more than 2 cores.

The g4560s actually have hyper threading, so they're just slightly weaker (or not really) i3s.

What country are you in? Italia?
