Building AMD FX-8350 based system on a budget. - Page 2

post #11 of 46

The best argument in favour of the 8350 would have to be that it is favourable for those wishing for a consistent experience thanks to enhanced multitasking ability. The extra cores provide oomph that could be allocated to another task during gaming sessions, such as background virus scans or transcoding or what not - an oomph that is not easily had on Intel processors at the same price.

Why would you run a virus scanner during gaming? As a matter of fact why would you do anything at all while gaming? A lot of amd fans state what you do and it doesn't make any sense. You want to run a virus scanner? Do it while you're sleeping or in the bathroom

Enough! This is about Red Dog and the fact that he has already told us that he wants an FX 8350-based system. He's asking for help in building one, and Vishera is not a bad platform for gaming. I know there are benchmarks to suggest that Ivy is better by 20% in some games. Horray. That's great and all. Now please, let's get back to helping him. Is Ivy a better platform for gaming? Yes, I think it is overall. But Vishera is NOT bad.

If you can buy from Newegg, I would take a hard look at the Rosewill Capstone series. They have modular units that are Gold certified for efficiency and are superb SuperFlower built units that will serve you very well. I've been very impressed with what they've been able to do in the PSU game. I'd recommend this:
Modular 750 watt unit
Non-modular 750 watt unit

This RAM will serve you well:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147096

Clocks like a monster, or leave it at stock. biggrin.gif And it's dirt cheap too.

I bet you will need a video card at some point if you want to game. We can help you find one of those if you give us a budget too. wink.gif

Thread Starter 
Stay Puft

To quote DBZ abridged... "Goku.. where did you get that muffin?O_o". I completely missed that combo... oh well.. overpaid 20$ it seems.. to late to do something about that now...

On the other note,
Thnx for help guys ^^. Currently system is has been bought as such =>

FX-8350 on a GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 with Cooler Master Hyper Evo[the legendary budget freezer] servicing it [greased with arctic silver 5 of course].

Sporting CORSAIR Vengeance 2 x 4GB 1600 [$34 cheapest i could find and I generally trust Corsair]

Powered by COUGAR A-Series A560. (I Wanted to give COUGAR PSU's a chance. I usually go with Antek, but decided to switch.)

Graphics card is a HD6450... for now its just there in place of anything on-board. But I am pretty sure it should be "ok" (hitting 40FPS, as I wouldn't need more than that]. If it will chug, than I'll step up to HD6570[almost carbon clone of 550Ti according to GPU review, but nearly twice as cheaper).

So yeah, this is the set up that's on its way! ^^

Red dog,
I've just yesterday received my components :
Amd fx8320 Vishera
Gigabyte Ga-990fxa-ud3 motherboard
Mushkin enhanced Silverdrive 8gb ddr3 sdram
Seagate barracuda 1.5tb 5900rpm
Raidmax Blackstone 700 watt modular PS
Cooler Master Hyper EVO with artic silver thermal compound
Also some extra fans, an optical drive
For now I plan on reusing my Radeon 6670 ddr5 1 gb GPU at least til I can afford something better.
I hope you continue this thread as I'd really like to follow along. This will be my first attempt at building a PC and I wouldn't mind any advice .

Hi, if you already ordered then maybe it is too late but G.Skill Sniper is onsale $45 then $10 promo code. $35 for some nice ram. Don't really know how it compares to what you already picked though. I just know you where looking at G.Skill at one point.

budget and fx-8350 dont go together tongue.gif
you should go with something like fx-4300 or fx-6300
its not like fx-8350 is gonna give you any boost in gaming that other cheaper chips cannot
