My friend went off on my parts list for my build. Is it okay?

[Samantharadninja]

My friend went off on my build I'm going to make saying I will bottleneck and my processor is lower than his AMD he got 4 years ago and I need to know if it's really not going to work out http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Samantharadninja/saved/8yQzyc

 

[Ryarwood99]

That PC will be a beast... There's no problems I see other than maybe a different Mobo because the kraits had bad reviews last socket but I haven't looked into them for this new chipset. Some may say a smaller PSU but I'd keep it in case you ever want to SLI

 

[Chugalug_]

That PC is alright, but it's not great, you can do MUCH better in that price range.
Will you be overclocking?
I'll post a build below.

Your friend is very dumb to think that his 4-year old AMD CPU is anywhere near a Core i5-6600K.

Leave your build as-is and it will dominate.

 

[Chugalug_]

Well you're right, but that's a little ruder than necessary......

 

[USAFRet]

You need to stop listening to your friends so much.

That parts list is just fine. It will crush his old AMD construction.

+1 your friend is a moron and just jealous.

Just commenting again because for some reason it didn't track this thread

If you ARE overclocking, get this, the motherboard comes combo'd with a free wireless adapter atm.

This thread is just turning into a roast! ^.^

 

[Samantharadninja]

Yall xD hahahha I'm laughing so hard. Yes he totally tore me to shreds about how bad of a performance I'm gonna have with the i5 6600k especially with my video card but it's nice to know that I shouldn't be taking his opinion on it anymore

 

[Chugalug_]

if you give me the name of his CPU I can bring up a comparison if you want to get the point across.

 

[Samantharadninja]

I'm waiting on his reply so I will let you know what he says

 

[Samantharadninja]

He said his is AMD Fx8350

 

[Chugalug_]

Take a look at my builds in the mean time and let me know what you think.
Both are better value than your original post.
Are you overclocking?

 

[Chugalug_]

http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-6600K-vs-AMD-FX-8350/3503vs1489
Cores and GHz mean nothing due to the poor IPC (instructions per clock) of the AM3+ CPUs.
Bigger is not better all the time.

 

[Samantharadninja]

I did check yours out and I'm gonna compare and stuff later on my list. I'm not sure if I'm gonna overclock or not, maybe not. I want to be able to run high and ultra and be able to record and edit videos with it is my main use

 

[Samantharadninja]

Why in the world did he think his was better

 

[Rogue Leader]

Why in the world did he think his was better

Maybe he believes 8 cores is better than 6 (not in his case when the IPC is significantly lower), or maybe he believes the AMD hype based on clock speed, of a processor that is about to be completely obsolete.

 

[Chugalug_]

This is much better if you're streaming/editing/rendering.
What is your budget? You never told us.
I can bring this to $1500 easily if need be.

[USAFRet]

Why in the world did he think his was better

Why? Because he has it.
Obviously, his choice is better than yours.

This happens all the time. I'm right, and all my choices are right, therefore you are wrong.

 

[Samantharadninja]

My budget is 1500 with being able to go up around 1650. And yeah you're right USAFRet, I mean I feel like he was offended almost

PSU is absolute overkill, but otherwise it's a very nice build. You can easily use a 500W and be fine for a single graphics card.
