Will this build work for me?

iammissjacqui · Aug 20, 2013

So here's my completed part list for my first build. I'd be wanting to use it for some gaming as well as 3D animation as I'm into game making/ design. Here's the link: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/iammissjacqui/saved/26eq
Thoughts please? Should I make any changes?
Thanks!

I agree with the previous poster, you need more cores for your workload. Fortunately you have another option and you don't need to spend more for the CPU: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kirilmatt/saved/22Ff
This build has an FX, which nearly matches the i7 in multithreaded workloads. Not only that, but it has a better GPU then your build. I hope this helps!
