Hello,

I wanna new PC and I decided to build it by me so ..... "core" components searched....It is
CPU : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113374
GPU : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127741&cm_re=msi_770-_-14-127-741-_-Product
RAM : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104457&cm_re=hyper_x_ram-_-20-104-457-_-Product (4x4=16 GB)

But i dont know what is best motherboard for those components in overall and in budget under 100 dollars (plase...if u can,send me best from those options....best in overall and best under 100 dollars)
 
If you get an 8300 series CPU, get the 8350.


Buy a 970 or 290 instead of a 770.

Also, why do you need 16Gn's of RAM. What will you be doing with this pc?

For the motherboard, the ASUS M5a970 r2.0 pro is a good choice, and the 990fx version is even better if you ever having two GPU's, overclocking, etc.
 


Why 8350 instead 8370 ?? ;

I dont like Radeon cards and now i checking that 970.....in my country paying in euros so 770 is 110€ cheaper than 970.....is its big performance boots in 970 ...or .....can i on that graphics play today games on even "better" than ultra setting?? xD ;

and...about RAM....i think a little bit into future xD today i saw Witcher 3 minimum req....6 gb of ram .....or...what is enought gb of ram for upcoming 2 years of gaming?? ;

and no... no ovelocking....max what i maybe do is use turbo boost feature and a single gpu
 



He should have suggested 8350 probably because it is a proven proc..and 970 is equivalent to 780 which obviously is faster than a 770

 


8Gb's should last a while and you can always upgrade later.

Also, the 290 is a better card than the 770.

And for gaming, consider the 4690k.

Why the 8350? because the 8370 is $50 more and offers nothing but a little more efficiency.
 




4690k is for me too expensive....220€....8350 cost only 160 € .....and intel is only 6% better than amd so i think its worse of moneys....

And guys.....what is good power supply for that build?? (msi 970,fx8350)
 



I will buy from my country where si difference 60 € what is something about 70 dollars

 


You don't need a 46xx k to beat the FX8350. Besides, you're likely to spend less on a good motherboard and you won't need a cpu cooler. You won't be losing money on an Intel i5 build.

I will be home in an hour and check which components you are going for and what would be a better alternative.
 


it must be modular.....about watts...i dont know..i planning later buy another 970 into SLI....can you recommend any good PSU...? max 110 dollars
