Hi guys, So im building this PC with some help from a friend and I wanted to get some help on if these parts would be compatible and work with each other.

CPU:AMD FX-6350 Black Edition CPU
CPU:COOLER:Noctua NH-D15
GPU:EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
MB:Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Motherboard
RAM:G-Skill 8GB Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 Dual Kit - Red
PSU:Corsair Builder Series CXM 750W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified
HDD: Western Digital 1tb HDD
CASE:Corsair Carbide 500R microATX (It is also ATX aswell)

I have win 7 and a monitor already

So what do ya guys think would these parts work and be good together, I plan on playing games such as bf4 on high settings, and games such as CS:GO, Garrys Mod, TF2, Spin tires, Beamng, Minecraft (With shaders and MODS) and Assetto Corsa all on high settings

Thanks for the help

Drop the cooler and use the saved money to get an i5 4460 and an h97 motherboard FOR SURE. This will DRASTICALLY help in BeamNG, Minecraft, and Spin-Tires.

Change the PSU to an Antec, XFX, Seasonic unit FOR SURE as well.

Complete agree with tiny voices. Although AMD CPUs do tend to run warmer.

tiny voices · Jul 31, 2014

Actually AMD CPUs run cooler. Haswell CPUs are safe into the 70s and most AMD FX CPUs rarely leave the 50s

123ITS_ME321 · Jul 31, 2014

Also i have changed the gfx card to a EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked 4GB ACX GDDR5 Graphics Card, is that ok?

tiny voices · Jul 31, 2014

Yeah, it is still a 760. They all really perform the same. Get a 2gb one for less money though. For the price of a 4gb one you can get an r9 280x which is MUCH more powerful.

123ITS_ME321 · Aug 1, 2014

So should i get an r9 280x then? Will i see an improvement in FPS etc

Kohwali · Aug 1, 2014

You really don't need the 4GB version unless you're mutli-monitoring. The R9 280x is definitely better than the 760 in terms of gaming FPS, but some programs such as Photoshop work better with NVIDIA cards. NVIDIA cards also come with GeForce Experience which includes Shadowplay, an excellent recording software. See this video for a more in-depth comparison between NVIDIA and AMD. http://youtu.be/yG5dl_XEnck

Thanks for all the help guys but i think i'll stick with the 760 as it's all been sorted now and i dont really want to go back and change the parts, and either way ill still get a nice, Smooth framerate on my games, Thanks for the help tho guys

A gtx760 will not max most games.

The r9 280x WILL max most all games.

there is a big difference in performance.

123ITS_ME321 · Aug 1, 2014

a GTX 760 with an FX6350 can run bf4 on high/ultra around 50-75fps....

Kohwali · Aug 1, 2014

I have the 760 as well

123ITS_ME321 · Aug 1, 2014

and wouldn't it be better to compare an gtx 760 to a r9 270?

Kohwali · Aug 1, 2014

He brought up the 760 FTW so thats closer in price to the 280x.

tiny voices · Aug 1, 2014

Yes, but he has the budget for a 280x so we will compare the 760 to the 280x. The 280x is VASTLY better everywhere.

It would be dumb to not buy it.

Kohwali · Aug 1, 2014

Unless you like Shadowplay and advanced PhysX

123ITS_ME321 · Aug 1, 2014

Ok, If i did go for a r9 280x, Which model would you recommend. Sapphire, Asus etc

Kohwali · Aug 1, 2014

If you're only interested in gaming: AMD (better performance for your money)
Gaming + Photoshop and other stuff: NVIDIA

Kohwali · Aug 1, 2014

ASUS is solid.

123ITS_ME321 · Aug 1, 2014

Well i'll mainly be gaming and web surfing, No photoshop or anything like that.

Kohwali · Aug 1, 2014

280x is the way to go then.

123ITS_ME321 · Aug 1, 2014

Ok, Asus one or any other one which might be better

tiny voices · Aug 1, 2014

I would get a Sapphire, ASUS, or Gigabyte. Any of those are great.
They all perform the same just different coolers.

Kohwali · Aug 1, 2014

Make sure to get a non-reference model such as DirectCU II. Non-reference coolers perform much better.

Kohwali · Aug 1, 2014

Gigabyte has a very bad rep for their support and quality in motherboards.
