Need advice on a build

[doskido]

Planned Build:
ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
AX860 Corsair Platnium Rating PSU
32 GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE 1600 DDR3
RADEON R9 390 STRIX DDR5 8 GB
Corsair 100i v2 Extreme liquid CPU cooler

My question is:

Can this motherboard and cooler sufficiently accommodate for the AMD FX -9370, or should I just get an FX 8350 or 8370?

Why AMD? Switch over to Intel gimme a budget I'll get something 10 times better lol. AMD is worst right now.

I appreciate it, but I really would like to know about the AMD processor.

I have everything on the list except the mobo, cpu, and cooler. I'm not spending more than 500 bucks on it all.

I agree, Amd is a waste of money for CPU s, go Intel or don't build a PC.
And you should wait for the release of pascal before you get a graphics card, prices may drop a lot

Since you don't have mobo, cooler and CPU get this. It's fully compatible with your other parts. This stuff is so much better than AMD can offer, even the 9590, and runs cooler and more efficient

 

[-HH-]

I disagree with the others entirely. You're on a good track if you already have the CPU. If you didn't have the CPU i'D recommend intel but as said there's no point spending more money on what you don't need. CPU cooler and mobo are fine together. I'd personally go with this though:

^why did you say you disagreed, then you said you agree with us? Please read the post because you obviously didn't. He doesn't have any parts yet.

Intel over amd by far

 

[doskido]

After being an AMD customer for 10+ years, I think it's finally time to go to the darkside.

Intel Core BX80646I74790K i7-4790K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz)
MSI Performance Gaming Intel Z170A LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard (Z170A Krait Gaming)
Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler , Black

I went almost a hundred bucks over my budget, but instead of being too scared to make the switch, I'm finally just going to do it.
I'm still sticking with AMD cards, though. 😛

You can save money on the CPU cooler, Cryorig h5 is only $45 and can easily get the job done

Wouldn't a liquid cooler be better in case I decided to overclock in the future?

I can't stand this anymore I need to apchange my signature

A good air cooler will easily match the performance of a liquid cooler. Like come on a good dark rock pro 3 or a noctua nh d15 will be as good as a h100i in terms of performance, and also 30dB quieter. For 20 dollars less. Liquid cooling also depends highly on ambient temps. If it's hot indoors, then the water is hot too. Less efficient.

This build go get this. This is not over budget at all. If fact it's 20 bucks under.
19.03 to be exact.

 

[DustinV]

He said "planned build". Doesn't sound like he has the parts. Sounds like he plans on buying those parts.

Also you need an Lga 1150 Z97 mobo if you want the i7 4790k.

I realized that it was an incompatible motherboard when I was looking up the QVL for the memory. So I got this one instead:

[DustinV]

Good choice, that's a high quality motherboard

I think it'll do well. Welp. Thanks for y'all's help. I'm looking forward to seeing how my Intel rig is going to run.

Hey Dustin, I read the post but not the reply as I generally don't look into some of the replies as I like to just configure something. Look I saw after I configured that parts list about the OP not having a CPU, anyways my refined parts list as a full build: - Side note, GPU is not added as it'd be better to wait and drop a GTX 1070 in it.
