abbring92 · Jul 10, 2014

i'm planing to build my first gaming pc soon (within 2 weeks) and this is what i'm planing to get

CPU: AMD fx 8320
CPU cooler: cooler master hyper 412s
GPU: asus 280x dc2top
RAM: kingston hyperx fury 2x 4gb 1866mhz
HDD: segate barracuda 1TB
motherboard: asus M5A97 evo r2.0
PSU: seasonic m12II bronze evo edition 520watt
Case: cooler master CM 690III whit window

I'm buy this in the Netherlands. should i go whit the m597 evo (€83,90) or pay more for the ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 (€139,99) and why?

and for the psi is the 520watt good enough or should i get the 620watt ( only €5 difference)

any help hill be appreciated

use this popular gigabyte mobo
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+
m597 evo (€83,90) is a good choice too
sabertooth mobo is for Nvidia SLI (dual gpu)

using 280x, at least 550W psu
seasonic m12II bronze evo edition 620watt
