Hi guys,
it's time to 'retire' my old pc and buy a new one. I don't need anything special really. Those are my specs:
MB: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P Socket AM3+
CPU: AMD FX-8320 8-Core Vishera 3.5GHz
CPU FAN: Raijintek EreBoss
RAM: DDR3 Ballistix Tactical PC3-14900 1866MHz 8GB (2x4GB) CL 9-9-9-27
GPU: AMD Sapphire R9 270 Dual-X OC With Boost Core 920
PSU: Thermaltake Berlin 630W 80+ ATX

What do you think?

Thanks in advance

If your gonna go AMD, get the FX-6300 with a 990 series chipset and an Hyper EVO 212 cooler, and overclock it -w ith a bit of luck you'll get better results for gaming than with the FX-8320

... but I would recommend going Intel

please do you think he would get better fps on a 6 core vs a 8 core LOL.

Look the fx8320 is good enough for gaming, just buy a better gpu and overclock you cpu to 4.0 or higher so you wont need to upgrade

FPS is more down to GPU than CPU... so yes quite possibly, depending on the gfx card he buys

Hi guys, sorry my fault! I should have made it clear before, I'm not that interested in gaming. I mean it's ok for me to have a go but really I'm not interested in playing the last title (whatever it's) at full frame resolution. The video card it's just 'cause I heard it has a good feeling with Adobe Suite (from CS6 on, actually) ;)
