Hey guys,
Was looking at reviews on this page with some of the products I bought - Just thought I would list my new PC (Have currently bought it, waiting on some parts) and just wanted it rated.
Would like to know how it'll go gaming wise and what weakness's I might encounter - List as follows:
Thermaltake Overseer Tower with additional fans
Seagate 3TB HDD
Corsair 250GB SSD
Corsair 1000W 80 Gold Power supply
Corsair 16GB Vengeance Pro RAM x 2
Corsair Vengeance Fan
Corsair Hydro series H110 CPU cooler
AMD FX-9590 BLK Edition 4.7 GHz CPU
Sapphire Dual-X R9 270X 4GB Card x 2
ASUS Crosshair V-Formula-Z Mobo (ROG version)
I currently run Logitec gaming mouse and keyboard - Looking to upgrade soon.
With a Sony Bravia 32" as a monitor.
Wanting to upgrade to a 3 monitor system for games - Thoughts?
Look forward to hearing (I just checked and bought a system I could afford and assumed it would be decent haha....)
Thanks in advance.

Heh, I feel sorry, but I have to tell that.CPU: i5 4690k
GPU: R9 280x/290 x 2
Would give you much better gaming performance.
Don't know where you live, so can't compare prices.
I live in Australia.
I've already purchased the system - So not too fussed - Just wanting to know what issues I might come across?
I thought overclocking to 5.2 would have around the same performance? (I'm not very computer literate)
And I admit, I did no research at all.

I like AMD too, but its current products just don't fit my needs ((
Be very careful with the "cheap" hardware.
When you receive your build, run stress tests for cpu, gpu and ram.
As for intel.. no, you can't install intel cpu into amd motherboard.
If you wanna change, then: i5 4690k or i7 4790k and any of z97 motherboards, depends on your price range.

The i5 4690k and i7 4790k should be available soon but it looks like you cannot wait.
You didn't tell your price range, that is why I recommend what is the best and not too overpriced.

So im down to another 2 choices:
Reviews say the Saphire is better, as it uses Hynix memory and can be clocked to 1260mhz
http://umart.com.au/umart1/pro/Products-details.phtml?i...
There as the below may not have Hynix and doesnt run as cool (Actually costs $44 more)
http://umart.com.au/umart1/pro/Products-details.phtml?i...
Thoughts?
Looking at the stats tho, the ASUS one is 1250 standard?
I don't know enough to pick one

What will the 2 differences be on that one for me? (Gaming, not mining)You mean what would be the difference between your build and the one I recommended?
If yes then:
FX-9590 vs i7 4770k, read this article: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-r...
R9 270x CFX vs R9 290x, read this article: http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/5984/sapphire-radeon-...
Keep in mind:
R9 290x has 4GB of ram compare to 29 270x has only 2gb of ram.
i7 4770k supports PCI-E 3.0 and FX-9590 does not.
i7 4770k consumes much less power and not that hot.
You still may overclock i7 to 4.2 - 4.5 ghz and it will be a beast.

Yes, Saphire might be a good choice.
Just I have had some bad experience with Saphire cards, that is why I can't recommend it.
But that doesn't mean all of the Saphire cards are bad.
