Help Choosing Motherboard !!!!

[Zuber Khan12]

hey guy... i have decided i will go for > AMD FX 8320
>ATI Radeon Dual-X R9 270X
>Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB ram .


i want a decent motherboard ( i am very tight on budget now ) ,and a PSU (how about this PSU http://www.flipkart.com/corsair-vs550-550-watt-psu/p/itmdg36xx8yzgjrs?q=Corsair+VS550+550+Watt+PSU&as=on&as-show=on&otracker=start&as-pos=p_1_psu&pid=PSUDG34775NHYDHK )


suggest me a good decent motherboard . i am not going to upgrade or overclock anything .

 

[tambeshakunt]

That isn't the best PSU to go for with the 8320. Get a tier two class B unit from this http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html.

What is your budget for the motherboard?

A good budget friendly board for the Am3+ platform is always the ASUS M5A97 R2.0.

I dont have any specific budget all i want is a motherboard which can handle all this thing nicely ,and i guess this ASUS M5A97 R2.0. is in my budget

 

[tambeshakunt]

Yep then go for the M5a97 Pro r2.0

 

[Zuber Khan12]

Yep then go for the M5a97 Pro r2.0

thanx.. and what about PSU ?? how much watt is sufficient 500 i guess??

 

[tambeshakunt]

No I would go for 600W. Look at the PSU hierarchy link in my signature and get at least a tier two class B.

how about this http://www.flipkart.com/corsair-cmpsu-600cxv2uk-cmps-cx600w-600-watts-psu/p/itmd5xz4efxtqng7?pid=PSUD5XZ4EFXTQNG7&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=corshair&ref=bb22ad02-ead6-445e-b7ee-1946e9f2b095 ... this is tier 3 class psu but i cant go far then this .. so this is ok ?

 

[tambeshakunt]

Yes that will do. You won't be able to any overclocking with that but for normal use that CX600 is fine.

Cheaper ,good PSU,plenty of power for a 8320/270x
Nothing wrong with the cx 600 though so if you'd like the extra headroom for if you ever upgrade the GPU the choice is yours.

 

[Zuber Khan12]

@tambeshakunt: neither i am interesting in overclocking and check this one also http://www.flipkart.com/corsair-vs650-650-watt-psu/p/itmdg36xznfnesye?pid=PSUDG347RBUYNCFK&otracker=from-search&srno=t_2&query=corshair&ref=db80e14a-4c83-478a-9e82-abcc07fef0ad

@MADMATT .. wow.. 3.8k nice are you sure this PSU will handle my specification ?

 

[madmatt30]

^ it will handle a 8320 & a 270x easily mate with some spare headroom.
For a 500w its the best PSU on there at the price easily.
There is not a lot of upgrade room on it if you ever wanted to go for say a r9 290 GPU in the future it would struggle.
Fairly sure it would manage a 280/280x though & a gtx970 easily.

The CX is a better PSU than the vs if you prefer the corsairs.

so why people are saying that go for 600watt PSU ?? and this is 500watt PSU so whats the difference ?
But thanx mate you are a Expert 😀
you aslo from india ?

 

[madmatt30]

People overestimate component wattage & underestimate PSU wattage output.
This is a failsafe way of doing things but can lead to putting you over budget when money is tight.
Give me an hour or so mate - I'll rig a power meter upto my fx8320 build with 280x just do you can see how much power it actually uses.

these reading taken at the plug

stock fx6300
-------------------
idle load 120w
full load cpu 242w
turboduo 280x oc full load gpu 380w
whole system stressed 560w

fx6300 oc at 4ghz
---------------------------
idle load 120w
ful load gpu 380w
full load cpu 260w
whole system stressed 582w

take the stock one ,allow for 80% efficiency on the psu
works out to 448w power wide system draw of 448w including 3.3v /5v /12v lines

a good 500w would run this setup mate with a 280x - no headroom for overclocking at all though.

the 270x draws pretty much 120-140w less than the 280x so err on caution & call it 120w less & your system (fx 8320 with r9 270x ) is pretty much going to max out at 340w full system draw even under 100% load stress testing.
seeing as the seasonic has over 400w on the 12v rail alone then it will do the job absolutely fine mate.

I was just going to suggest as you have no interest in overclocking,that you could save some money & go with this board

the m5a97 is better but prob not worth the extra to you personally if you're not going to push every last bit of performance out of it.
This would even allow you to throw in a half decent aftermarket cooler which will perform a lot better than the one amd supplies

as long as your case is big enough??

Woh.. thats a Hell lot of info for a PSU ... you are a PC GEEK 👍. and a savior of my money too 😀 thanx ...

Hi mate,I dont know why I put 6300 above for those readings when its a 8320
also my 280x is bios & volt modded so runs a lot more power than a standard card.
case wise,there are too many,did you have one in mind??
I would suggest a case that has at least a 120mm intake fan & a 120mm exhaust rather than 80/92mm fans
8 cores run warm & a half decent case is a necessity imo.
most of the coolermasters are decent from the k280 upwards you wont go far wrong for budget cases.
depends where youre buying from ,I know over in india you have very limited choices sometimes.

Hey .. mate thanx for all your information but now i got a change to get R9 280x in 15k xD . on of my friend who live in USA is coming this march . so my question is should i go for R9 280x ? and its is worth it ?

the 280x is definitely worth it mate 9thats like 160 pounds sterling so is a good price imo
All I will say is iof yovue already bought the 500w psu it will be close to the limits,you wont have any headroom at all for overclocking etc,
If you dont have the psu yet then Id look at a 550-600w to be on the safe side for a little more headroom.,

I got it in my head you were going with a 8320??
If you're going with the 6300 then the seasonic will do the job with a 280x.
Ran a 6300@4ghz with a 280x for ages on a corsair cx500 myself with no problems.
