I use my computer for gamming and everyday use and I don’t really care about over clocking.
I currently have:
Phenom II x4 965
ASUS M4A79XTD EVO
XFX HD5850
I’m thinking of getting either a FX 9590 or FX 8370, Asus SABERTOOTH 990FX/GEN3 R2.0 and a XFX RADEON R9 290X 1000M 8GB.
First question: Do I really need to use water cool on the 9590? I really do not want to use water cool so I have been leaning towards the 8370.
Second question: Will there be a bottleneck using the above video card and either of the 2 cpu listed above?
Third question: Or should i just get an Intel set up? This comes up manly since AMD has not came out with anything new in a few years and the AM3+ socket is getting old and also wonder if the motherboard companies will even make Windows 10 drivers for the boards when it comes out later this year.
Thanks,
