Is this a build that would work?

[KasparsN]

AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Asus GeForce GTX 960 2GB Video Card
NZXT Source 530 ATX Full Tower Case
EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
TP-Link TL-WDN4800 802.11a/b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter
NZXT Air Flow Series 83.6 CFM 140mm Fan (x 1 for more air flow in my build)

This is my first build and atm I have the GPU, motherboard and ram and going to buy the rest of the parts soon, wanted to wonder if this would work.

Seems like a decent build. I built something comparable to this, using the same CPU & motherboard for a friend, but with an R9 290. One question, why a gold standard PSU? That just jacks up the price when you could get a 750W for headroom later on down the road (assuming you will overclock and get a newer GPU).

Also, that Hyper 212 Evo might not be enough cooling for your 8350. While I'm not 100% on this, in my friends build I used a Noctua NH-D14 with the 8350 overclocked to 4.5Ghz. His temps max at about 60C under full load in a hot room, which is 2C off from the max temps of the CPU. If you do no overclocking it might be enough though, but I'm not sure.

well I am buying a gold one because my friend had a silver one and it wasn't as efficient and couple days later stopped working and I also want a gold one because I intend to buy another gpu later on and improve something. also the cpu cooling noctua nh-d14 isn't it too big for my case? I read some reviews people saying how it is really big and was difficult to install and handle.

If you have the money for a good cpu cooler I would recommend getting the swiftech 240x or smaller depending on the dimensions of your case. Temperature is key to a build it lets your cpu work harder without it being at risk. Right now at full load with my cpu I'am getting a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius( overclocked 4.6 multiplier x45 1.1-1.3 volts)

It is water cooling, don't know how to install them etc :/ I am kinda new to pc building but I know how to build it except for things like cooling.

As long as the power supply you buy is simply 80+ certified, don't worry about the exact efficiency. The efficiency just makes it so it draws less power from the wall, it doesn't give you any extra power for your parts. Aka the Wattage is as high as it'll go, so buy more watts if you need it, not more efficiency. I would just check the reviews on the power supply you decide on and see if other people have problems with it.

As for the NH-D14 being hard to install, it's actually easier to install than most smaller coolers. I've dealt with multiple coolers that were much smaller and the NH-D14 was the easiest install I've dealt with. But it fitting in your case is a whole other matter, which you'll have to find the max CPU cooler height limit of your case and compare it to the NH-D14.

All-in-one watercoolers aren't that hard to install. It's just a little bit different because you hook it to both the motherboard and the case, versus the air coolers that only attach to your motherboard. As long as you follow the included instructions on any cooler you pick you shouldn't have a hard time.

Does my case fit with the NH-D14? I think it does since it's a full tower, also, what would you suggest. Me to use NH-D14 or the water cooler, (note - I don't know how to install water coolers 😛 )

Like Datguy20 has stated it is not that hard to be honest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYKdKVxbnp8 > This is the installation for the swiftech 240x. Keep in my that I just built my first computer as well and I installed this into my computer. The only thing you might have to do different is switch the brackets. As for the power supply you need to make sure it has enough AMPS to provide power to you Graphics card you want. If it doesn't have enough amps it will not work or kill the gpu.

 

[datguy20]

The NZXT Source 530 does fit the Noctua NH-D14 with room to spare. The NH-D14 is 160mm high, your case supports up to 183mm height coolers.

As for if you should do air or water, it's up to you really. The NH-D14 is actually better than most dual 120mm fan watercoolers. It beats things like the Corsair H100. For something better at the price/performance of the NH-D14 you would either need a dual 140mm fan watercooler (or larger), or you would need to go with custom watercooling.

I should point out, the Noctua NH-D15 is about 3-5C better than the NH-D14, and has better RAM clearances than it too. The price difference however is about $30 extra.

If you do want to overclock the 8350 heavily (like above 4.6Ghz), which is doable with that motherboard as it's arguably best in class, you would probably want something like a 120x3mm watercooler. That case actually supports triple 120mm fans on the top. Triple 120 All-in-one coolers aren't cheap though. I think they start around $150. Otherwise the NH-D14 or NH-D15 will cool the 8350 very well up to around 4.5-4.6Ghz overclock.

Don't forget, if you choose either Noctua cooler to check ram clearance with your specific RAM. They have data sheets on their website for both coolers and the RAM that works with them.

Thank you guys for your help!

[strike]Also, I just looked at the specs of your power supply, and I would recommend changing it. You will want to look for a power supply that has a single 12V rail.

While the multi-rail power supplies aren't terrible and some might say it doesn't matter, I would still say to go for single rail volt power supplies as they are the same price usually.[/strike]

What definitely matters the most is the watts you need, with at least 80+ certified, and great reviews. Reviews, reviews, reviews. Always read up on the power supply, it's a very important piece of a computer.

Anytime KasparsN and happy building 😀. Indeed reviews are key if you see something about coil whine in the reviews I wouldn't fret too much. The capacitors in the psu itself is electricity and it will tend to do that, but if this happens to you don't fret you can RMA it. The seasonic 860 xp2 I bought had reviews as such and I got the lucky end of the stick with no coil whine at all. completely silent

What is the difference? is it a huge difference because I prefer using the one I have listed above :/

Don't worry about it. It shouldn't really matter to be honest. Not sure why I mentioned it.
