Hey, I am taking the dive to build an AMD System in comparaison of my sister's PC which is an Intel build and it's doing.. pretttttty good!

So, normally I wanted to build with an 8350 (for a lot of gaming, video rendering, game making, audio recording and emulation of plenty PC's*virtual box* & Game Consoles Emulation) but now at the moment of this writing, I'm able to catch an 8320E for 130$. SO.... I was thinking of probably getting that and pitching some extra dough for a good CPU cooler probably a H100I or Noctua so I can overclock if need be.. Then down the line upgrade to a 9000 series if need be.
When it comes to GPU card.. I'm looking at maybe a R7 370 or R9 380.. If NVIDIA I'll look at the 970 due to PHYSX and the CUDA cores..

What's you guys opinion on the E series of FX series?

 
another alternative it to get a used xeon x5677 or x5687. both of them have 8 threads and about the same multi threaded score as the 8320. they will game a bit better then the 8320E too. you could then skip on fancy cpu cooler buy a cheap motherboard and have significantly more money for a video card. later on you can upgrade to a 12 thread xeon and keep the same motherboard or make a meaningful upgrade to a new i7. upgrading to the 9000 series is never the best idea it will be expensive and you wont get much from it.
 


Thanks for your opinion mah dood! But dayum dude I ain't up to pitch out dough for a Xeon System.. JUST YET!
I mainly want to build with an AMD system for my own experience.
