Building a PC!

Preroce · Aug 12, 2014

GPU: Asus Radeon r7 265
CPU: AMD fx 8320
HDD: Western Digital 1TB SATA 7200RPM 64MB
SSD: Kingston SSD mS200 30GB SATAIII
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR3
PSU: 750W
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0

Does this all fits? Will it work in this combo?

Thanks in advice!

Some things are not quite right.

1. Where are you gonna plug that MSata SSD? That motherboard doesn't have a MSata connector. You need normal 2.5" SATA III SSD.

2. If your PC is going to be only for gaming, the FX-8320 is too much for the R7 265. You'll be good with a FX-6300.

3. I no longer recommend the AM3+ platform, it's too old already. I suggest the FM2+ or LGA1150 platforms. They are more efficient and better priced. From the FM2+ i recommend the Athlon 760K and from the LGA1150 i recommend the Core i3-4150.

Do NOT use that motherboard if you expect to overclock at all .
Use the version that is not "le", or the asrock 970 extreme3

The build would beed a decent quality 500 watt psu

and a 30 gig SSD is a waste of time IMO

the build is unbalanced you need more space in the c drive than 30 gb windows 7 64 bit alone will consume 20 gb so 10 for other programed is not enough at least go for a 64 gb ssd ....750 watt is way overkill for your build a good 500 watt psu would be enough...and u may need an aftermarket cooler like coolermaster hyper 212 evo for the cpu if u intend to oc it ....

Well, Okay I dont need SSD at all, I think. Going for asrock 970 extreme3. Maybe buying coolermaster hyper 212 evo if I will even need to overclock. Staying with fx-8320 as I am thinking to upgrade in future. 500W PSU costs about 40EUR in Latvia, 750W costs about 55EUR, so I don't think bigger PSU woltage bothers.

From which brand is the PSU, generic brands tend to advertise peak wattage instead of max sustained wattage of the PSU. A 600W PSU can be really a 450W and that is dangerous for you PC.

Upgrade to what? buying a FX-8350 would a waste of money if you already have a FX-8320.

the brand and the quality matter for the psu rather than the capacity .....so what is the brand for the 750 watt psu ?and no the extra wattage will not harm u ....

Brunostako :

haha, well, I meant I could stay with fx-8320 all the way, maybe upgrading RAM, Buying more powerful video card etc..

PSU: going for 600W afterall, Cooler Master ATX 2.30 THUNDER 600W

prit87 · Aug 12, 2014

you dont need to update the cpu any sooner if u really looking for a update in near future a ssd or a better card i wil say would be a good upgrade...

Cooler Master is not as good as they could claim in the PSU department. I'm no expert in PSUs, but I know that Corasir, Antec or XFX make good quality PSUs.

With good quality PSUs, you don't need to go with high wattage units.

Friend of mine suggested me getting corsair also..

What would be the best PSU pick for about 50EUR 550-600W?

go with xfx .......http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-xfxts550w
