First build proofcheck

[kittenkingofnothing]

Hey there I'm about to order parts for my first build and just wanted the community's help in proof checking. I know pc parts picker had a compatibility filter on it but its not as good as I know you guys can be. I heard a few things about the mobo limiting the processor a bit but i think it was specific to the cpu, not sure. Anywhom here's my list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TNMr23

I'll put you together a build but let me explain to you why the one you built isn't too notch for the price .
Processor(Good choice )
Motherboard ( terrible quality )
^I would try to avoid Asrock as they make low quality products . Gigabyte Or Asus is Recommended
Ram ( Good)
Hdd( Nice brand !)
Graphics card (Terrible Pair)
^Games are going to struggle really hard on these . Graphics cards these days for gaming should have DDR5 memory and not DDR3. Two is not always better than one .
Case(Depends one what you like)
Honestly this part choice is completely up to you but I would suggest saving money by buying the 100R
I'll go ahead and put you a build together

So basically this build will get you amazing gaming performance . You still have tons of money left if you want to add somethings . Like an ssd , cooler or Sapphire 380X brand

If the purpose for this pc is for editing and other batch applications that are multithreaded, then a FX-8350 is a good budget pick.

If it is for gaming, I would not build using a FX cpu today.
1. FX cpu cores are slow, and most games depend on the performance of the single master thread.
Few games can use more than 2-3 threads.
And... there is NO cpu upgrade available.
2. For gaming, you will win fps benchmarks with crossfire, but gameplay is superior with a single great card.
For the same total $200, a GTX960 would game better.

3. Thermaltake TR2 is a tier 5( NOT RECOMMENDED. Replace ASAP ) unit on this list.

Why two hard drives?
I hope you do not think that raid-0 confers ANY performance benefits.

FWIW.
I will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games. If you can go 240gb, you may never need a hard drive.

I would defer on the hard drive unless you need to store large files such as video's.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.
Samsung EVO is a good choice.



My suggestions would be along the lines of a skylake i3-6100, a z170 based motherboard to allow a future upgrade, and ddr4 ram.
Buy only a quality psu like Seasonic.
500w will run a card as good as a GTX970.

Thanks for4 the info on the mobo and GPUs. It was really cool of you to go through the trouble of doing a build for me. it gave something to think about and it did have its charm, though I didnt like what seemed to be a propriatary socket on the CPU which is why I'm building anew instead of upgrading my CPU and GPU I may have to make a seperate request seeking help in picking my new parts,though you could take another crack at it if you'd like.

I do a good amount of multithreaded processing which is why I wanted the octocore CPU, otherwise I'd do a six core and the only reason I had two GPU on there was for adding at some point down the line. I dont nessicarily want a hiigh end gaming pc but one that would do most current games well as well as be able to handle my rendering at a good speed.

Thanks foro the info on the PSU Ireally apreciate you tellinig me before I blew a new build.

Also I do want an SSD eventually but at the moment I'd like to have enough space for my media rather than being able to access it quickly.
