COMPUTER

Sharkoon T28 MID TOWER x1

Western Digital WD 3TB 3.5 x1

AMD FX-8350 Eight 8 Core x1

ASUS 970 Motherboard x1

8GB 1600 RAM x 3

1600 watt PSU UNBRANDED GOLD PLUS x1

asus gtx 650ti 1gb gpu

 

[ModernWarfare]

the psu wattage is too much and who knows what quality it is id cut it down to a 550-650watt psu might save you alot of money.

 

[Brycetimothydavis]

i already have the psu from anther build

as an asus pro can i get some advice off you? via pm?

Get a 990fx mobo, not 970.

get 2 x 4gb ram not 3 x 8gb. Get 1866 cl9 1.5V ram

Never buy an unbranded psu. For a pc with a 650ti you need a 430W+ psu. Get a good one per http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html eg Seasonic 520, XFX 550 or Antec HCG 520M

You could probably get a R7 260x for even less than the 650ti

Where are you shopping? Add your prices to the build.

i already have 1 x 8gb ripjaw that im not using still in the anti static
i have one ssd left over from an old build (firmware bug - will be updated as of the new build)
i have the psu from my current build witch is dieing fast

[Brycetimothydavis]

ive got 1350 to spend on this build and have 4 builds in my house and two ultrabooks so complete build ideas would be good

You only need a 990FX board if you plan to crossfire or SLI in the future.

If you get a 970 board, you want one of the few that has 8+2 phase power, such as the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P. This board also supports LLC and has a great BIOS for overclocking.
