Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs

[TheSolidMoose]

I was building my first PC but then this incompatibility note comes up, I have searched a little bit and my question is what if they don't have an update? This is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FD9LnQ

 

[MeteorsRaining]

That's a video of a PSU failing due to high load. Here's a simple equation, of sorts:

High wattage < High quality.

With the build damric suggested, you need a good quality 600W+ PSU in order to not make your build fireworks. PSU tier list is linked in my signature.

 

[TheSolidMoose]

Alright, so damric's build is much more safe, powerful, and just overall a lot better than all the builds I have made, anyone disagrees? Good, ima build my PC using your rig

 

[TheSolidMoose]

Meteor, so is damric's build safe enough not to creat fireworks in my house?

 

[TheSolidMoose]

Goodnight damric's, thanks for the help! Please come back Tommorow incase I have any other questions!

 

[MeteorsRaining]

That's a safe, high quality, plenty wattage and a great value/money PSU damric linked to you. Go ahead with that build, you won't be disappointed.

Having a LGA1150 is a plus, you can upgrade to an i5 or i7 down the road to increase CPU performance with the then top tier cards without having to change Motherboard

 

[TheSolidMoose]

OMGGG!!!! METEOR AND DAMRIC!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!! I think I found my new friends on the Internet ^^

 

[TheSolidMoose]

Meteor, ima make a list of everything I'm going to buy for my new gaming setup, including all the accessories, do you mind giving me feedback on it?

 

[MeteorsRaining]

Sure thing, SolidMoose, we love giving our feedbacks.

 

[TheSolidMoose]

Meteor, if you go back to damric's explanation to every pc build part, what's with the liquid nitrogen tanks? 😵

 

[TheSolidMoose]

I'm looking for the cheapest and the best!

My other question is that why are there no fans in damric's PC build? Won't it overheat?

 

[MeteorsRaining]

"It would take massive overclocking of about 6GHz to be on the same level as the Haswell i3. Maybe you have a few tanks of liquid nitrogen..."

Well, Overclocking the FX by a few 100Mhz is a bit too mainstream, so extreme Overclockers OC it by a couple GHz, and since our conventional EVO 212 can't keep such a setup cool, a few tanks (not many, just a few) of Liquid nitrogen along with an OC bench help those overlcockers with keeping that setup nice and cool.

His point was, you'd need to seriously OC the FX to put it on par with i3.

 

[TheSolidMoose]

Ah. I see

 

[TheSolidMoose]

This guy said that this rig was the best: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Ljtdcf
What do you think?

 

[MeteorsRaining]

The build seems good, a great value for money. Great choice on monitor, I'm not too fond of changing keyboard or headsets, so I'd leave that to you.

No fans: Good point. The case does comes with a stock rear exhaust fan, I'd add another 120mm fron intake fan to complete it, you don't need to put 7 fans in there.

What do you think?

That's a good build, but simple logic says R9 280 won't beat R9 290 in real world scenarios. And then he has a non-K SKU with a Z series (overclocking) motherboard and a CPU cooler which isn't really needed.

 

[TheSolidMoose]

Great! Now it's just up to me and build it huh? xD

 

[TheSolidMoose]

When you say fan do you mean the Cpu fan or what?

 

[TheSolidMoose]

Can you send the link of the fan? CPU fan or is it the PC fan?

 

[TheSolidMoose]

As far as I am concerned, there is no cpu cooler nor case fan

 

[TheSolidMoose]

Do I also need sound card or optical drive?

 

[MeteorsRaining]

You got a case fan which comes with the case. You got a stock CPU cooler which comes with the CPU.

For case fan, this would do:

You don't need a sound card, optical drive is optional but desirable since you'd need to install Windows through CD.

 

[TheSolidMoose]

Sweet! Is there anything else I am missing? Even the slightest of things?

 

[MeteorsRaining]

I don't think so, you got a solid build there.

 

[TheSolidMoose]

😀 ima start binge shopping Tommorow! If I have questions about building the PC, should I ask you for help?
