[Prashant Subedi]

Hey guys, I am trying to build a new pc and wanted to know if its worth it to invest compared with my current setup.

Amd quad core

you do not need that high of a power supply go for a 600 or 550 watt gold psu. And you dont need the cpu cooler but the amd ones are loud and cant keep it below 50c. Its up to you

better performance than the setup you listed
the FX9000 is a pretty bad and outdated CPU
also threw in a better SSD and one of the best boards in it's class

Nope the IPG sucks this is why I've not upgrade my T960 unlocked to a thuban 6 core at 3.72Ghz. Clock for clock the fx-6300 is no faster than the much older AMD's. I for example would only get about a 25% gain in total performance from the fx-9590 that rarely would show in games. I'm waiting on Zen and if it fails to impress ill get a new 7600K kabylake build.

I would wait to do a build until amd zen comes out.

Cant figure out this:
Your old gpu: GTX 750 Ti. Nice. ok.
But why there is an old GTX 690 in your new build?
No point in building a new gaming rig if you start that buying an old obsolete gpu.

I just have it laying around. So just was going to use it until I buy another one perhaps some time later.

hmm thats certainly a possibility. They are usually reasonably priced also.

honestly, AMD always fails to deliver.
I remember when it was said "wait for Bulldozer, it'll be awesome". and they delivered pure disappointment.
then they said "the Rx480 will be awesome!" and we got a card that could barely keep up with the 1060
now it's again the ZEN hype - I reckon it will be just another big let-down by AMD who are apparently better in generating a hype than to produce supreme hardware, sadly

but yes, if timing is no issue, wait for ZEN & Kaby Lake
