Im building a rig still not buying it just asking you guys are these components good? a perfect combo? PS no OC
components:
NZXT Phantom 410
AMD FX 8350
ASUS M5A99X EVO R 2.0
KINGSTON HYPERX 8GB
WD HDD 1TB
Msi R9 270 GAMING
THERMALTAKE SPS-630W SMART SE 630W PSU(Not sure is it good?)
and should i change the stock amd fx cooler to hyper 212x?? or any other reliable and cheap cpu cooler?
 
Solution
Actually FX8350 is a good overclocking CPU, so It would be a waste if you don't plan to OC it. You might also want that r9 270 with X.

I've got that same motherboard and its actually a great overclocking mobo. And here's the example:

Just get yourself a decent cooler, preferably watercooling but if not, CM hyper 212 Evo is also good and can overclock to 4.5ghz

You're PSU is enough but you might want to take it further to 750-850w if you are planning to do crossfire in the near future. because if you crossfire that 270x you would get the same amount of performance if not better as GTX 780...


You don't really need that motherboard if you don't want to OC. You only really need that if you plan on running a Xfire/sli setup. Otherwise, if you want to save money get a ASUS M5A97 R2.0 instead.

ok maybe I will try to OC it maybe....but wouldn't it burn out my components? and decrease lifespan??? and the graphics card the r9 270 I heard people saying that it outperforms the r9 270X I think ill just stick with the 270...
