Do I need more case fans?

AkhilM · Mar 22, 2015

Hello, I am helping my friend build a gaming pc and was looking to go the amd route. I know they run a bit warmer than Intel but will the corsair 200r fans suffice? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YDv399
Thanks in advance!

If the build is just for gaming, I'd go for the FX 6300 and a better CPU cooler, like the Raijintek Ereboss Black

EDIT: Probably upgrade to the 280 as well.

Yes it is just for gaming but doesn't the fx-8350 perform better? (This is meant to be better than the average console which has 8cores). I can still improve the cpu cooler with the current build.

EDIT: New build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/R6tnrH
Will this run cool?

The FX 8350 will perform maybe 6 FPS faster in some modern games. For games utilizing single core performance the 6300 would have identical performance, and it will run cooler. If overclocking the FX 6300 is also a better choice. If you do want a 8xxx in your build, go for a 8320E.

Sorry if I'm being a newb, but no more case fans right?

Not much need, but if you want to buy one or two cheap 120mm/140mm fans (depending on support, 140 is better) it can't do any harm.
