Max $900 gaming pc

jayrad2013 · Apr 16, 2014

Hello everyone, I would like your assistance in helping me make a gaming/3d modeling pc. I already have a case, monitor, keyboard and mouse so all I need is the OS and parts. I am hoping to use a Amd 8350 in my build, but if you can make a better one without it feel free to change it. Edit: I also do not need a Hard drive.

this should play most games on ultra, and have no problem with 3d animation, and its easily overclockable.

I dont think you can Overclock FX-8350 with a Cooler Master 212. You will probablu get at least the max of the stock clock (4ghz).
To overclock this heat beast you need Liquid Cooling 100%

Danbuscus25 · Apr 16, 2014

lol you must not know that much about that cooler and chip, you can easily hit 4.5ghz no problem, but above 4.8ghz would need a liquid cooler.

I dont think this is matter. I5-4670k can outperfom FX-8350 easily.

3Dns :

I never intended to overclock it. I hear a whole lot of stories about how it is to hot so that is why I would rather have air cooling. Remember this isn't only for video games, it is also for 3d modeling and game development.

Danbuscus25 :

Wow dude thanks for the build it looks fantastic. I'll start ordering it soon. You also fit an SD in there which is pretty good.

Danbuscus25 · Apr 16, 2014

yeah, and even if you dont want to OC much that cooler is way better than the jet-engine stock cooler XD and i know, i5 4670k wiil be better for gaming, but unless playing a very cpu-intensive game, the 8350 can handle games on max settings. and if the program you use for 3d modeling can use more than 4 cores, the 8350 can out-perform the i5 4670k at stock speed.

Danbuscus25 :

I planned on getting that specific cooler to. Blender and Maya(the two 3d modeling suites I'll be using) use all 8 cores so that is why I thought the 8350 was the best CPU in its price range.

Danbuscus25 · Apr 17, 2014

yup, the 8350 will perform better in most tasks that can use 8 cores

and yeah, its a great bang for your buck

happy building!
