Hi,
So I am a novice to this whole computer building and hardware thing. However, lately I've done quite a bit of research and benchmarking so I have an idea of the basics at least now. xD
Anyway, what GPU and CPU should I get? My budget is not certain but I'm aiming for around $1000 (including all other components. not including monitor/ keyboard/ mouse). I can spend more or less so it's not rigid. I however would like to get the most bang for my buck and so I am strongly thinking of AMD. The goal is to be able to play current high demanding games and games that will come out in the future on maxed out settings.
These are the ones I'm thinking of. This is a list I complied and I decided to benchmark some statistics.
P.S. stands for Performance score (retrieved from http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html)
The CPU/Mark Value and benchmark price is based off this site. There is a second price as well from Canada Computers- the most realistic price for the region I live in (Canada). It does really suck how it's noticeably more expensive than other countries.
I am strongly thinking of going with the AMD FX 9370 as a CPU. Second choice is FX 8350 or 8320, and third is FX6300. Is this a good decision? And what GPU would go well with it so there is no bottleneck?
GPU:
(P.S 6198) (CPU Mark/Value 19.99) Consider GeForce GTX 770 Benchmark price - $310, $380 @ CanadaComputers
(P.S 4997) (CPU Mark/Value 22.21) Consider GeForce GTX 760 Benchmark price - $225, $280 @ CanadaComputers
(P.S 5137) (CPU Mark/Value 17.12) R9 280x Benchmark price - $300, $350 @ CanadaComputers
(P.S 4651) (CPU Mark/Value 18.17) Radeon HD 7950 Benchmark price - $255, $250 @ CanadaComputers
(P.S 4521) (CPU Mark/Value 24.44) R9 270x Benchmark price - $185, $230 @ Canada Computers
CPU:
(P.S.10 267) (CPU Mark/Value 31.11) AMD FX 9590 Benchmark price - $330, $315 (Original price $345) @ CanadaComputers (Would buy but Intel has better CPUS at same price range)
(P.S 9683) (CPU Mark/Value 42.10) AMD FX 9370 Benchmark price - $230, $250 @ CanadaComputers (Not far off from FX 9590 in P.S., great price, intel cpus of same P.S. are much more expensive)*
(P.S 9038) (CPU Mark/Value 36.15) AMD FX 8350 Benchmark price - $250, $220 @ CanadaComputers
(P.S 8092) (CPU Mark/Value 50.58) AMD FX 8320 Benchmark price - $160, $175 @ CanadaComputers (Great price, much lower P.S, Intel CPUS of same P.S. are much more expensive)*
(P.S 6367) (CPU Mark/Value 58.96) AMD FX 6300 Benchmark price - $108, $140 @ CanadaComputers* (A bit too weak though in P.S)
(P.S 4317) (CPU Mark/Value 53.97) AMD Athlon X4 750K Benchmark price - $80, $80 @ NewEgg.com
