Hi all,
just wanting to get some thoughts on my picks before I go to purchase mode. I wont be listing from pcpartpicker since I live in third world, and have different prices for everything, and some products/brands are not even available at all. Here is what I am going for (more or less):
CPU: FX 8320 (OCd to 4.3-4.4, nothing extreme but I will try to get what I can for 24/7 stable work)
CPU COOLER: CM 212 Hyper EVO
MB: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 rev. 4.0 (please comment on MB choice, locally seems like best buy)
RAM: Patriot Black Mamba 2x4GB (provided I can get it, otherwise Kingston Hyper X 2x4GB)
SSD: Samsung EVO 128GB (will not go for HDD in this computer, no need)
GPU: Sapphire R9 280x Vapor X (I could go potentially to GIGABYTE R9 280x that I could get for 50 euros cheaper, please comment)
PSU: Cooler Master V700 (the new series with Seasonic inside)
CASE: Fractal Design Define R4 (Ill be putting another 2 vents in it, so front/bottom for intake and back/top exhaust)
The only thing I will use it for is gaming (practically BF4 MP only). Im pretty much decided on Dell P2414H for my monitor so will be playing in 1920x1080.
Now the questions. I would like to play on ultra with good FPS, meaning ~60 on average (thus the 280x). Will this CPU bottleneck my GPU and total performance? I could potentially go for 4670k, but this would cost me 80 euros more just for the CPU. Is it worth it really? Im hearing lots of stories about Mantle too, but nobody really knows how big improvements it will bring to both CPU and GPU use.
Thanks for any input
