What do you think ?
 
A couple things,

1-Do you ever plan to overclock ?
2-Do you plan to use you computer for intensive tasks other than gaming ? (video editing, rendering, 3d modeling)
 



 


Doesn't really answer my questions there for doesn't really help me suggest the appropriate parts for a build.

Based off the parts i see in front of my I would say that the 8350 might be overkill, the motherboard you have selected is fairly cheap quality and the power supply is a little under rated, I would shoot more towards 600 watts.

The Graphics card you are referring to is the GTX-650Ti Boost Edition and yes it is a good card that trades blows with the 7850 for slightly less money.
 
Clearly you don't know well about parts, my friend

1-The motherboard brand (Gigabyte) is NO.1 nowadays and it's known with high-quality components (UNlike Asrock for example, with Asus MOBO's nowadays has many faults{ turning up warped, nitpicking with ram, double reboot/ reboot at bios, higher power consumption...etc} and repeatedly returned for refunds ) .
If overclocking is the purpose, ASUS is the one,Their boards usually use less Vcore to OC and it was used for AMD FX-8150's world record breaking overclock, multiple times.
Gigabyte mobos are usually stable, offers good SLI/CFX better than Asus. So it's the best choice in this area.
Asrock is basically Asus subsidiary. Being more towards budget, And it's generally hit-or-miss purchase .

2- Seasonic also is TOP BRAND (can stress it enough) PSU with more wattage than recommended by Nvidia & AMD websites for their cards (being GTX 650 ti boost and HD 7850 right here, respectively).

3- FX-8350 might be at the moment an overkill, but when technology advances and games get more demanding in the future it will be great for the task.

If the OP wants to get GTX 650 ti boost, then by all means he should.
It's definitely more powerful than 7850 and when SLI you reach and sometimes surpasses the GTX 680 and HD 7970 levels.
Keep in mind -though- that you should get good cooling system because 650 ti boost works @high temps sometimes.

Best luck :)
 


Really? That Seasonic is a great PSU and plenty for a single card setup. I would probably go with an Asrock 970 extreme4 for motherboard. 8350 isn't overkill, but I would probably go with an 8320 and save a few $$.
 
Eh i don't go to work everyday and do this for a living what the hell would I know right, don't listen to me obviously I'm a dummy. The 970 DS3 from gigabyte first off is junk well known for it's VRM overheating issues especially on a 125W cpu with a 4+1 phase setup... haha have fun overcooking, whoops I meant overclocking, but I guess someone that doesn't know much about hardware like me wouldn't really understand any crazy stuff like that... Simply put the GA-970A-DS3 is not gigabyte's greatest achievement. If you want a GOOD gigabyte board for a mid range performance system try this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128519. It's the 970 UD-3 witch has an 8+2 phase system MUCH MUCH more suited to overclocking a big chip like the 8XXX series. Actual heatsinks on the VRM's and North/South bridge cooing that is FAR superior to the D3 as well as vastly improved build quality all around which is clearly obvious at a glance.
I wasn't saying the seasonic was bad, i run one... What I was saying is that 500W doesn't really allow for much upgrade room in the future for a gigantic card or maybe another card or raid set ups, who knows. Yasser use your head and think a little bit before you jump to assuming I'm trying to bash your parts selection..
 
cmi86. My dear friend ..

As I clearly stated in my previous reply:
" If overclocking is the purpose, ASUS is the one,Their boards usually use less Vcore to OC, and it was used for AMD's FX-8150's world record-breaking overclock, multiple times."

So I wasn't trying neither to falsify your opinions nor to say that gigabyte is best for Overclocking, Actually i recommended gigabyte because it " offers good SLI/CFX "...not for OC'ing .

But thanks for the valuable info about the gigabyte board that suits OC purposes ....😀
No hard feelings ? :)
 


No worries, I was crabby yesterday lol. I have learned the hard way trying to OC FX chips on 4+1 phase boards lol. I have gone through 3 4+1 boards on my 6300 Rig and they all have VRM issues over 1.4v even the heat sinked ones, 4+1 just doesn't cut it with FX. I finally gave up and spent the extra cash on the Asus M5A99FX Pro R.2 that i knew in the back of my head I should have got in the first place and my entire system is alot cooler with alot less voltage.
 


Hi razorgeek,

You should get the AMD FX-8320 processor instead of FX-8350 because not only it'll we be cheap but also it's the same chip as FX-8350 but is just a bit underclocked. Further, you can overclock it at home without much trouble.

As for the GPU, try to purchase Nvidia GTX 650 Ti Boost because it is the best budget GPU available right now which offers playable framerates at 1080p with quality settings maxed out.

A good reliable 500w PSU will get the job done. I advice you to get Seasonic or Corsair PSUs.

You won't need an aftermarket CPU fan unless you plan to do crazy overclocking. The stock one is good enough to handle a nice overclock, say upto 4.40GHz or even more.

Yes, the ASUS M5A97 R2.0 motherboard is a good one but I recommend you to get a more cheaper motherboard so that you could extend your price limit for the GPU.

Enjoy your new build!!! :)
