Hello Experts!

I just decided to go with PC over console and started my build, here in my country (Costa Rica) is almost imposible to find good pc parts, so I had to work with what I had, please tell me what do you think about it?

Thanks BTW! :D

Here is what I have planed:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dtgwCJ

note: I already have the R9 290x but is a OEM (there is no OEM option in the partpicker so I chose diamond)
I want to know if it would be necesary to use that case or if a A31 would work the same (there is aprox 130$ diference between them here), would the 290x fit in there?
Also, Are the HDD and SSD I chose fine? I dont know nothing about HDD or SSD
Also, Would it be worth going for 8350 over 8320? (kind of an AMD fan :p )
What do you think about the PSU? would it be enough for all that?
Also I would like to hear suggestions about cooling options, if possible

I want this pc 90% for gaming, and if possible I would like to go for the triple screen setup with eyefinity, to play most newer games and also old games like Bioshock or Skyrim, so I would like to know what do you think?

Aside from "MercadoLibre.co.cr" the only two places that sell computer parts here are:
http://www.pckernelshop.com/
http://www.compuavatar.com/

I dont mean to tell you to go there, it´s just in case... :ange: (CRC 545 = 1 $)


Thanks for any suggestion or comment regarding the build, just a "well done!" or a "totally wrong", would be enough, but if possible, I would like to know why :sarcastic: I am kind of in a budget so that´s like my limit on money, but I may be able to go a little over if it is truly necesary

Once Again thanks!!!! :D

No reason to get the 8350 over the 8320. They are the same CPU with different clock speeds. A simple .5ghz overclock will turn an 8320 into an 8350.

The PSU you chose is not good quality. Replace it for a 750w unit from antec, XFX, Seasonic.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Would a XFX PRO850W do the trick? or should I keep searching?

Also, that .5ghz would not affect gaming at all? :(
As I plan on playing with 3 monitors (and I know it will be hard to do) I dont want to lack on anything that may affect (reasonably) on the FPS´s

Thanks again! :D

I highly recommend modular power supplies. They will save you A LOT of time and effort. The XFX XTR 650W Full Modular Edition would be a great choice.

If I'm not wrong, I believe the R9 290x is 2 R9 280x on the same PCB, crossfired. If so, then games that don't support crossfire would only use the single r9 280x chip.

And as for the case, I would recommend Corsair or NZXT cases. They are a lot easier to build with.

Thanks I will have all that in mind, I will consider switching to a 8320 and buy the 850W XFX PSU with the money left

Also a couple of questions, would the MoBo I chose work well? I see the Crosshair V Formula-Z everywhere with this build, but it is like 500$ and it´s totally out of my budget, So, is it really necesary? or would the Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX sufice?

Also, Any recommendation on cooling? I have heard that the 290x heats a lot and I am afraid it may damage the other components (kind of a newbie here D: )
