is my specs good?

[therevenga]

i have a gaming rig it has on it

amd fx-9370 4.4 ghz eight core processor

16 gb desktop ram

and an evga sc signiture 2 nvidia geforce gtx 660 2 gb ddr5 gpu

are those specs good for gaming?

Yes it's pretty good but you might want to add a good CPU Cooler b/c I've heard that the FX 9370 gets unreasonably hot. And if you're going to be doing heavy gaming you might want to beef the GPU up a little bit.

 

[Roxas_Boy]

Wow you went overkill on the RAM and didn't make an informed decision on the CPU and if you did a bit of research you get have saved quite a lot and gotten better performance

 

[Priva]

Those specs are fine but you made the same mistake I did when I first built my PC too much ram lol. You could of got more GPU / Better CPU performance and got like 8GB of RAM instead

If you did your research and got better parts you could have gotten a solid gpu like the GTX 770

what if i had picked an amd fx-9590 5.0 ghz processor

yeah but the gtx 660 is decent i dont have to upgrade the gpu btw im low on money man they dont grow on trees

Since you already have it, there's not much we can do now. But to answer your question: It's a yes. Your specs are good and it could play all the latest games at decent settings. However, you will need to spend quite a bit in order to gain better performance in the near future.

 

[rolandzhang3]

He means that you could have balanced it better, you could have bought an 8320/8350 and a GTX 760/770 for example

It'll definitely get the job done in games though, make sure you have a good cooler for that CPU, they tend to run very hot, and should last you a GPU upgrade cycle or two

so i could have picked out this card? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8511614&CatId=7387

fx series are bad and sli config is bad too due to micro stuttering..
your pc is not good

Stop getting so defensive dipshit. A FX 9370 is a waste of money because an i5 4670k is cheaper and will crush it in games not to mention will run cooler and overclock far better.

 

[rolandzhang3]

Yeah for that money you could have bought a 4670k, though the 9370 is an overclocked 8350 so it's still quite good as long as you have decent cooling

The 660 could be considered a bit outdated by some people but it's still a great performer in games, 16GB of RAM is also a bit of a waste for pure gaming unless you do video editing as well

All in all it's an alright build, just not the most balanced one. If you're doing productivity like video editing/streaming as well then that's pretty good, with a GPU upgrade in a year or two you should be fine for the next few years

If you're getting the results you want in games then that's fine, since that's all that matters

Nothing's really "wrong" with it. I never said there was anything "wrong" about it. I just said you MIGHT want to beef it up b/c it's not exactly future proof. But I guess since you're on a super tight budget stay with it.

And yes, why the heck did you get 16 GB of ram? That's like $160 and you never really need 16 GB unless you're doing a lot of video editing or something. You should've gotten 8 GB And save $80. You could've put that $80 extra towards a better GPU. Maybe like a 760 or something. Even better, you could've gotten an AMD FX 8350 for $200, instead of a $250 9370. So that's $50 saved and if you add the $80 saved from the ram that's $130. the GTX 660 is around $200, and if you add that $130 you could've gotten a GTX 770.

I guess your build is decent, but you could've done a little more research sir.
