How good and will it fit?

tomasandri · Oct 24, 2014

CPU - AMD Piledriver X6 FX-6300

Cooler - Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2

Motherboard - Gigabyte AM3+ GA-990FXA-UD3

Memory - Some sort of Mushkin 2x4 DDR3

Hard Drive - Seagate ST2000DM 2TB SATA
SSD - Toshiba MKNSSDCR 120GB

Graphics Card - Gigabyte GTX 970 Gaming G1 PCI-E3.0 4GB

Power Supply - Corsair RM650 Modular PSU 80P Gold

Optical Drive - Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

Operating System - Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)

Questions:
1) How will this build perform in newer games like AC4, BF4, Crysis 3, Skyrim and such?

2) Does this fit in my Thermaltake V3 BlackX case? Concerned about the GTX 970

3) I have already decided on this build and I am pretty sure that I wont change anything so you don't need to recommend anything else

just need answers to those questions above

I'll be upgrading the SSD and Cooling a few months down the road and know exactly what i'll buy

4) I live in Iceland and have very little to choose from and from chatting on this forum this is what my budget and living place allows me to build. So yeah, best i can get really.

I'd drop the SSD and get a better CPU.

Well Tómas Andri if you can get the Fx8350 or 8320 it would be better choice for the newer games. The G1 GPU is 312mm long so it will not fit the V3 chassis. http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model_support.aspx?id=c_00001579
Here an review stating max 30cm or 300mm! http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/printpage/thermaltake-v3-black-edition-case-review/1009

Thank you. Gonna check on that CPU(Checked it out, afraid it's out of my price range. Just gonna have to go with the FX6300 I guess, thanks tho) and I think I'll just be going with the Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB then

Recommend that?

The 770 does not perform on par with the 970 but it is still a good card especially for 1080P upplausn.

rolli59 :

Yeah

Where did you get my actual name tho? And why did you write "upplausn", not resolution? (Upplausn is the Icelandic word for resolution)
And I know that it's not as good

But still seems like a great card according to reviews and benchmarks

Thinking about just getting that one

Thanks for the help!

Happen to be Icelandic too (although live in the US) and user name deciphered easily! The GTX770 really was the card to get along with R9 280X for 1080P in the $300 bracket until GTX970 release which is amazing performance for the money around $350.

Awesome to meet another Icelandic person here!

Hate the prices back here tho! The GTX970 costs $630 here and the GTX770 costs $500

Hate the fact that I can't order from Amazon since they don't deliver these things(PC components) to here, I'd buy the 970 on there in a heartbeat there if possible and somehow make room for it in my case :/ Not so easy for a 17 year old in school and a part time job here, trying to upgrade his rig :/
Seriously tho,
GTX970 US: $370
GTX970 ICE: $630
I'd save so much if i could buy it in the US and have it shipped here.

True, sending is a problem because of customs and really the best way is if somebody in the family is travelling although Icelandic customs are the worst in the western world digging in to peoples luggage.

rolli59 :

True. Pretty sure that I'll just have to bite the sour apple and pay the money :/ Well, let's just hope the 770 will be worth the $500.
