Rhezner's build is pretty much better in every way and a much better way to spend $700. That build would be very good at 1080p. Med-high settings at least.

ask any questions

dual core? will i run into trouble with that? also hows overclocking on that build? should i add a cpu cooler to it? case any good? motherboard reviews kind of scare me. i dont see many reviews on the parts. thats mainly my concern. any reassurance would help.

 

[CTurbo]

Yes dual core. It outperforms the old 6 core FX in pretty much everything. You can overclock the 280, but not the cpu. You won't need to overclock the cpu anyway. The case is great. I'm using it now. All of those parts are high quality. A+ build.

i would personally trade the ssd for an i5 but the i3 4160 is a very good match for the r9 280. If you want to game you should probably get a 280x or 290 instead of an i5 but the trade is completely personal preference.

soooo you think i should get the i5 and one of those gpus? i want to keep the ssd for boot. mind drawing that up for me? i dont mind spending an extra $70-100 if it increases performance.

An i5 wouldnt increase gaming performance much, i am not sure how reliable these videos are but here are some comparisons the first with a 4130 which isn't quiet as good as the 4170 and the second two are 4160s i also see no reason why someone would want to lie about the performance.

so there is only a few fps difference, but upgrading the GPU would give you many fps difference.

here is what i would get for 800$
