So i'm doing my first computer build from scratch. I got a bit ahead of myself and fear that i might of wasted 800 bucks when i could of gotten a bit more for my buck. Me and my buddy did the build together (well he did did the bulk of the looking i just made decisions basted on what i thought was best). Well here what we came up with.
To start I'm being a daring one and trying the AMD FX-4170 Zambezi 4.2GHz despite mixed reviews.
Next I have 16 GB of DDR3 ram 1330
750W modular power supply (crossfire ready)
250 gb Hard drive with a spin speed of 7200rpm
MSI 970A-G46 AMD 9 Series Motherboard - ATX
and last important component is (the one i think i could of done better on)
PowerColor Radeon HD 6850 1GB
If you need more info please ask, i posted what i thought was truly important. I also got windows professional. I spent about $800 on the total build. How'd i do for my first build?
Also i placed this in CPU because i did hear alot about people saying that the Phenom II black is actually better int the FX-4150. I took the risk because the AMD came out with a patch recently that increased conformance by 10% and i'm using the 4170 which is much faster.
