[bacon9479]

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/bacon9479/saved/4xkl is it really good? how bout now. if someone could take the time to edit my build so i could get my moneys worth.

$2400 and no SSD? No OS?
$250 for a keyboard?
PSU is far too large

Looks slike a very good AMD build to me. If you are a gamer, you won't be disappointed. You have more Power supply than you need. Look for a Seasonic Modular 750w ( which is plenty ).

the os im not getting through this but should i get an ssd

its not bad. You would be better off saving $100 and getting an i5 4670k and then paying an extra $100 and getting a GTX 780 (not to sure about the GPU recommendation though). Also better to save a bit more and get a ROG Hero

and why such a overkill PSU? And that cooler is overpriced.

as an editing/CAD/multi threaded machine? ok, though the power consumption is a bit worrying.
as a purely gaming machine? a waste considering an i5 for ~$80-100 less can outperform it in most cases or perform on par;

For any new build over $1000, if it doesn't include an SSD, something is wrong.
IMHO, of course.

for the sake of performance/cost, yes. it should leave you enough room for something like a 120gb Samsung 840 EVO at least.

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/bacon9479/saved/4xkl what about that and should i switch to intel processor and the motherboard.

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/bacon9479/saved/4xkl i added an ssd but i need to get my moneys worth and get a good machine but a little cheaper like around 2000

 

[Mac266]

overkill mate im doing up a build for you to look at now

 

[USAFRet]

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/bacon9479/saved/4xkl what about that and should i switch to intel processor and the motherboard.

You almost certainly don't need a 500GB SSD. Something smaller. A 120 for the OS and applications. Maybe a 256.
And you still have that overpriced liquid cooler.
And there is still that $250 keyboard.

thank you because ive never built a pc before and i want to get my moneys worth.

Ive left out the keyboard, mouse and fans, its a personal choice thing. And you could drop the Liquid cooler if you wanted. Kept your Case and Monitor, as well as the video card. A 780ti would be better, if you want to spend more.

What is your actual budget?
And don't say "whatever"....how much do you really want to spend? $2500 is actually quite a lot for a first PC.

my budget is 1800 and thank you for taking your time to help me out.

 

[Mac266]

my build is ~$1700 but without a keyboard and mouse.

That case, btw, is a bit pricey.

im not going with my build for sure but i really liked your because it looked like it could kick some ass and i saved it and do you think it could run crysis 3 on ultra setting with at least 30 fps

 

[Mac266]

not sure. That is mostly a GPU thing. The GTX 780ti is the best, but is an additional $250-300.

 

[Mac266]

cut down the case to allow a 780ti.

[USAFRet]

So based on the above build:
Cut off 1/3 the price, and get better performance
Win-Win

 

[coastie65]

Actually, you don't need to go to the 780Ti for some really good performance. You can save some by going to a GTX 770 card. I am running a GTX 680 and can pretty much run anything on Ultra with no issues. The 770 is pretty much a 680 on steroids. It has a faster Turbo for one thing. The upside is that it is cheaper than the 680. As for Intel, the i5 4670k is a good choice on a Z87 board as that will give you overclocking abilities, should you want to do that. With a $1700 to $1800 budget, you can put together a kick ass machine. You also may want to consider a Seasonic Full Modular PSU. They are High quality at a good price. Full modualr is handy for wire / cable management as you only use the cables you need and don't have a bunch of extras in the way. The object is to keep it as clean as possible in there for good air flow.
