WIll all those work together?

Perry1538 · Jun 2, 2014

Processor: AMD FX 8320

Motherboard: Gigabyte 990XA-UD3

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo

GPU: Geforce GTX 760 OC 2 GB

Case: Corsair Carbide 400R

PSU: Corsair CS series 750W

HHD: Seagate Desktop SSHD 1TB.

RAM: G.SKILL F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3

So, will all those parts work together well? Also, the PSU is semi modular. Are there going to be enough ports for all the parts?

Yes, but don't get that PSU, get a better, lower wattage one from Antec, XFX or Seasonic.

RobCherry · Jun 2, 2014

i have quite alot of the same parts as you have in your spec, and i run all the latest games at 1080p on high/ultra setting getting around 50+ fps. so its quite a good system, i agree with dylzan tho, change that psu. i had a cx600 corsair psu and had alot of problems with it, so i opted for the XFX.

Perry1538 · Jun 2, 2014

Thanks for the answers! Are the seasonic's PSUs any good?

aarnav · Jun 2, 2014

They are really good xfx psu are seaonic.. thet are really good probably best...

RobCherry · Jun 2, 2014

if you could afford it id defiantly but a seasonic, or like aarnav said above, a xfx as they are made by seasonic.

Perry1538 · Jun 2, 2014

So, how many wattage does my system need?

RobCherry · Jun 2, 2014

your system would prob be ok on a 500 or a 600watt psu. i got a 600watt corsair originally for mine, but when it failed i got a 850watt xfx with the intention of using sli in the future.

RobCherry · Jun 2, 2014

try this link for a 550watt xfx psu. - https://www.google.co.uk/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=EX2MU9HPCYbR8gfr5oCwBg#q=550watt+xfx&tbm=shop&spd=8412913939943668124

RobCherry :

Alright. After some thought, i think i will probably purchase a XFX XTR Series P1-650B-BEFX 650W ATX12V.

It is fully modular. I have 2 questions though. Are there enough ports in this PSU in order to connect all the other parts? And the cables with which i will connect the PSU to the parts, will they come with the PSU or with the parts themselves?

RobCherry · Jun 2, 2014

yes that psu will have more than enough connections for everything you need and more, so you will be ok in the future if you ever decide to upgrade, what model gtx 760 are you getting?
all the cables/connections come with your psu, as you can see from the 4th picture in the link you sent me. the onlt cables you will need is the sata cables which link your cd to your mobo and your hd to your mobo.

This is the gpu: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-2GB-WINDFORCE-GV-N760OC-2GD-REV2-0/dp/B00DGM8B6O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401724419&sr=8-1&keywords=nVidia+GeForce+GTX+760+OC+Rev2.0+2GB+DDR5+PCI-E+Dual+DVI+HDMI+DP+%28Gigabyte%29

RobCherry · Jun 2, 2014

yeh thats a good card, i have this one... http://www.yoyotech.co.uk//Asus-GTX-760-Direct-CU-II-2GB-GDDR5-Dual-DVI-HDMI-DisplayPort-PCI-E-Graphics-Card-GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5?var=16457&utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=purenet_feed&gclid=CL-J__3H274CFRQctAodvmMAsA

and the psu you chose would easily play that card, and better and more expensive cards too.

Perry1538 · Jun 2, 2014

Also, will the gpu fit in the case? I've heard some people saying that it barely fit in a full tower. So, will it fit in my midi tower?

RobCherry · Jun 2, 2014

if you click on the tech specs on this like, which is from the corsair website it says the largest gpu you can fit into it is 318mm.
http://www.corsair.com/en/carbide-series-400r-mid-tower-case

and if you scroll to the bottom of this page it tells you the length of your card. it says its 295mm long so it should fit in with 23mm space left.

hope thats a help

Perry1538 · Jun 2, 2014

RobCherry :

It helps a lot, thanks.

RobCherry · Jun 2, 2014

Perry1538 :

no problems, you will have to let me know how your system performs when you get it up and running seen as we have the same cards and cpu's

Perry1538 · Jun 2, 2014

RobCherry :

One more thing. Since, i'm buying an aftermarket cooler, the thermo paste will be included in the package, correct? So, do i have to spread the thermo paste all over the CPU? Or all it needs is one drop?

RobCherry · Jun 2, 2014

the new aftermarket cooler should come with new thermo paste spread all over the contact areas already. so no need to worry about applying more ect.

WIll all those work together?
