Vamsi Vishwanadh · Jul 13, 2013

i am planning to buy a amd fx8350 with the mobo Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 would that fit the processor or i should change the processor if so please suggest me a new mobo

Tradesman1 · Jul 13, 2013

That'll be a good combo, should have no problems

Vamsi Vishwanadh · Jul 13, 2013

i also have another combo of core i5 3570k and as rock z77 extreme 6 mobo which is better the amd with gigabyte or intel with as rock?

Vamsi Vishwanadh :

That depends on how you use your PC and what applications, games etc you plan on running on it.

Tradesman1 · Jul 13, 2013

No contest - the Rock with Intel inside - I picked up the 8350 when it came out and my 3570K stomped it every which way but in video rendering, and actually my older 2500K had it at a dead heat....

i play a little like skyrim etc..and multitasking is out of my range but i want a pc that would last atleast for 5 years without getting out of date....

Tradesman1 · Jul 13, 2013

Again Intel, it's more powerful now and will always be, plus it OCs better, but a 5 year span, depends on the person.....PCs are constantly changing and game/app requirements continue to grow - there is no future proofing at this point, DDR4 is around the corner and will bring a change to basically all systems in a year or so

Vamsi Vishwanadh · Jul 13, 2013

u know i mean that i should be able to play game with decent graphics atleast after 1-2 years later...

Tradesman1 · Jul 13, 2013

Yes, that's not a problem

Vamsi Vishwanadh · Jul 13, 2013

can u suggest me a good graphic card within 2oo$ for my i5 processor and one for amd 8350

ElMoIsEviL · Jul 13, 2013

Vamsi Vishwanadh :

MSI Radeon HD 7870 2GB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127722

Tradesman1 · Jul 13, 2013

Budget?

ElMoIsEviL · Jul 13, 2013

He said within $200 so I went a tad over at $219 ($209 after rebate).

Tradesman1 · Jul 13, 2013

Well, with the limit of $200, the Egg has the PowerColor 7870 at $199.99 and free shipping (so I saved you a penny

)...which is pretty decent GPU, OC's pretty well, used a couple of these, beyond that, your looking at a 7850, which is a good GPU and there are numerous models available

ElMoIsEviL · Jul 13, 2013

I saw the PowerColor and figured that the MSI presented a better card by virtue of being a more solid brand.

Tradesman1 · Jul 13, 2013

I don't have any problem to speak of with their GPUs, but won't touch their mobos, poor QC/support... and it's just a me thing to keep on/under budget and leave it to my clients to then see if they want to change it, so try and do same here, unless a specific question is asked, I try and hop around this place a lot...for others, building is a learning process, so unless something is out of whack and things look reasonable, I tend to go with their picks rather than changing things they have worked (oft times hard on)

Vamsi Vishwanadh · Jul 14, 2013

u americans are so lucky that u get a free game on the purchase of a gpu but here in india we dont get anything except the gpu and that too u getting it here for cheap in india it costs about 300$ and without a game.... :'(

Vamsi Vishwanadh :

I'm Canadian and know how you feel. About a decade ago the Canadian dollar was worth around 50 cents US. So $300 cards cost $600 Canadian.

I remember buying a 9700 Pro, followed by an x800XT PE then a 1900XTX and then my 8800 Ultra back then. Each one cost twice the amount they did in the USA.
