Is my build good?

[TheFanis]

I decided to build a new pc and that's what I'll get:

Case: Bitfenix Shinobi 3.0
CPU: AMD FX-8350
MOBO: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
COOLER: COOLERMASTER HYPER 212 EVO
RAM: Corsair Vengence LP (2x4GB) 1600MHz
GPU: MSI GTX770 N770 TF 2GD5/OC 2GB
HDD: SEAGATE 1TB BARRACUDA 7200.14 (In the future I'll be getting an SSD, but now It's out of my budget)
PSU: Corsair CX600M 600W 80Plus Bronze
MONITOR: 21.5'' PHILIPS V-line 226V4LSB2 LED

All that, for the price of 1145Euros(local prices from where I live)

SO, IS THIS BUILD GOOD ENOUGH TO PLAY GAMES ON ULTRA WITH HIGH FPS?

Your build is very similar to my build that I just made (Check my specs) I opted for the 8320 as its the same chip as the 8350, just lower stock clock but I over clocked mine with a slight voltage change to 4.2Ghz stable as anything. My build came to about 800 with my G600 Mouse. I'm blown away with my specs and all the benchmarks. I have the same PSU and went for the Kingston beast ram as it was cheaper and you can get an ssd for around 80 - I would advise the SSD first then the Hard drive as the difference is very noticeable. Very good build never the less but I would get the 8320 and SSD first.

Thank you for your response! I forgot to mention that within the price I included a 22'' monitor. So I think that's good. By the way, I want an SSD but I'll get one in the near future. What fps you get? Can you give me some examples of performance??

I get max settings on Bioshock, Theif, Hitman, Splintercell, pretty much haven't ran into a game I can't play 30+ FPS on max everything. And as I said, if you're getting one in the near future, just get a 120GB SSD, that should last you as long as you don't hop between too many different games, also a big pain to re-install everytyhing again when you can just pop in a 1TB hard drive and start saving things to it straight away. And as for the monitor I would advise this one after all the research I've done it seems to be the best. You can look at other reviews yourself. It is also the one used at most MLG events.

Performance: The fps you get is really good and that's what I want.
SSD: Also, I was planning to get a 120GB SSD, Kingstone especially that costs about 77 Euros.
If I get the SSD first, the problem is that I will have less space untill I get a 1TB HDD. Will 120GB be enough for Windows, 2-3 Games(let's say BF4, COD Ghosts and Minecraft, and some file saving? Hmmm, I also have an external HDD 500GB. I may save files on this one until I get one for my pc. What do you think? What storage did you get?
Monitor: The monitor you listed for the price of 113 pounds, here where I live is 207 Euros. So, I don't think I can afford this 🙁 The monitor is not the big deal here, at least for the time being.

You have paired an AMD CPU with an incompatible Intel MB. If you want to stay with that MB, you will need an Intel CPU, like the i5 4670K. Someone else will have to recommend an AMD MB if you decide to keep the AMD CPU.

God, I'm sorry I wrote the old one. Here is the mobo I'm going with: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 I edited it on the topic.
Thanks for the notice!

You're pretty much copying my build, I've been looking into building mine for the past year (Feb 2013) and I can honestly say the parts you're getting are the best price for performance. And apart from that monitor, I would recommend either stick to the BenQ brand or an Asus. I have a 240GB Hyper x 3k (200GB when installed with Windows 7) and I have all these programs with 40GB to spare (Note I have Elders scrolls which is a higher than average 60GB install and Dota 2, 4GB with Path of Exile which I think is 4-7GB) so 100GB Hyper x should be more than enough. I get the highest marks on benchmarks for write and reads with mine also.

SSD then HDD

So, you suggest me to go with Hyperx 3k 120GB first(for the read/write speeds), which will be enough for Windows and 2-3 games and then get another 1TB HDD?
By the way, what is the picture showing?

 

[Jonnyzord]

Showing that I have like 10 games installed on a 240GB, games that take up a lot of space, each of them are between 9-25GB each. So if I have that on a 240... You should be fine with a 120. And yes, if it was me it is what I would do, having done the HDD first then the SSD. Was a pain installing everything, ended up wasting an entire day. *Sigh*

Now you have only 240GB SSD?

 

[Jonnyzord]

I have almost everything on my 240GB Hyper x 3k SSD, but I also have a 3TB Seagate Barracuda. I had my Seagate to start with (Came in the post first and was impatient) then my SSD came the next day, only got my P.C last week. If I have 40GB left on my SSD and elders scroll is 60GB that makes 100GB, so everything else you see on my desktop, you should be able to download and install. So you should be able to get at least 8+ good games on a 120GB SSD. Minus around 20GB for the windows install and the HDD/SSD Shrink (No HDD/SSD come with the full listed storage for example mines a 240 but when its plugged in, is only a 223GB SSD and when I install windows 7 64 it has 200GB free).

Ok. For now I will get a 120GB SSD and when I have the money for the HDD I'll get one. Thank you for your help!

You're welcome. Vote as best answer to show your appreciation. And considering your build is practically the same as mine I can already tell you that you will be very pleased with the performance. Happy gaming!

How you vote? 😛

 

[Jonnyzord]

There should be a big green button on my posts saying vote as best answer! 😉

 

[TheFanis]

Unfortunately there isn't. ;(

 

[Jonnyzord]

Damn, no green button, pick as the solution? God knows, I'm new lol.

 

[sora]

There should be a pick as solution 😵

 

[TheFanis]

there's not!
