Hi All,
I’m building my first computer. This rig will be for gaming and general everyday use on a 1440P monitor. I don’t see myself ever getting into video editing. My Build is as follows
• GPU: R9 290 x2 crossfire Sappire R9 290 Vapor X, x2 in crossfire
• CPU: AMD FX 8350
• Mobo: MSI 990FXA-GD80 V2 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
• Hard Drives: SAMSUNG 840 EVO 120GB + 1.5TB mechanical drive from old computer
• Ram: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB + 8GB from the old computer
• PS: Antec HCP Platinum HCP-1000 1000W
• Case: Corsair Graphite Series 760T White Steel
• CPU Cooler: CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm
I have a few concerns though
1st: Will my processor bottleneck my rig? Should I get a more powerful AMD FX 9370? I’ve considered Intel but you have to pay $550 to get a 6 core ivy bridge. I’d like a multicore setup bc I believe as games get more optimized for new consoles that they will utilize more physical cores on the consoles and in the computer versions.
2nd Will my case and closed loop WC for CPU be enough to expel all the heat from an all AMD setup.
3rd should i reuse my current hard drive and ram instead of adding on and throw that money into a more powerful processor?
