Should I go For it?

[Asad45]

Well I am going to buy this build
Processor - FX-8350
Mobo - MSI 990FXA-GD65 AMD chipset
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8x2 GB 1600
PSU - Corsair CS 750 M Power Supply
Chasis - Cooler Master RC-K350-KWN1-EN Mid Tower
VGA card - MSI GTX 980 GAMING/SAPPHIRE R9 290 4GB GDDR5

Confused which VGA card I should pick. Okay so many of my friends are poking me that not to take FX-8350 as they they perform worst when it comes to single core and they say this CPU is outdated and can't be compatible for further usage in years of games. I have seen many videos over youtube but still in headache where some says its bad while some says it good for the buck. So I am pretty in a tight budget and will play games like Shadow of mordor, BF4, Crysis 3, COD AW etc at 1080p over 60fps, while doing some programming listening to music and chrome opned with 10 tabs. Can this processor go longer for like 2-3 years for the stuff I do and will this CPU be good for future games? Honest opinions needed 😀

VGA card is the graphics card listed the gpu will come with a vga adapter if you need it. As for the cpu it is good. AMD has good budget cpus if you cant afford a intel build. Your computer will last more than 3 years so it should be fine. The only thing I do not see listed is a hdd. If you can afford one get a 850 evo and a 2tb wd green. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147372&cm_re=850_evo-_-20-147-372-_-Product

There is little to no price advantage by going with AMD.

The i5 wins hands down. There is literally no reason to consider AMD at this point.

Your build is fine. An i5 may be better but it would not be cheaper.

In my counter AMD is way cheaper than Intel 😀

 

[jonzoo]

Yes unfortunately different economies different prices unless you are willing to travel and get parts cheaper

Thanks for helping me mate 😀

I could have gone for newegg or amazon but our Government puts high tax so better buy from the stores

 

[jonzoo]
