does my r9 390 build work

mcle · Aug 30, 2015

Hi, I am looking at upgrading my computer and would like some feedback from you guys. Do you think it is future proof and for how long? But more importantly does it fit together. Can I overclock the gpu and cpu, and could I run Crossfire?

Thanks in advance and sorry as I may have a long reply time.

-Samsung 850 is a better SSD than Kingston.
-Cooler Master 'V' series is recommended over 'G' series.
-Full size ATX Gigabyte GA-Z97X Gaming 5 is better than M-atx version.

Is this a brand new build or do you have all of these parts already? If it is a new build please state your budget and I will create a list for you.

You have selected a poor Cooler Master power supply. It is not durable or good for gaming.

It is recommended that you choose an ATX motherboard for this build. They're usually better for overcocking aswell.

Kingston SSD's are not recommended. Quite slow.

Other than that It's good.

anoori9000 :

i already have the ram, psu and storage.
i want to get all my parts from centrecom and my motherboard seemed the best as i most likely won't be doing any overclocking. http://www.centrecom.com.au/search/z97
i don't want to go much more expensive than these parts, i am already at the end of my budget

how does this Motherboard look.

is the gigabyte mx that bad?

i took a look at everything and have decided that i won't be crossfiring and won't be overclocking.
with that in mind will the Gigabyte motherboard work? if not is the MSI motherbaoard better or worse? it is cheaper and so i would like to know which one to choose. also going by

will the
http://www.centrecom.com.au/cooler-master-750w-v-series-80-gold-power-supply
work in the long run better than the Cooler master G750M i currently have?

The Cooler Master 750V is much better and will work much better than the G750M.

Just buy an ATX Z97 motherboard. Why the hassle of forcing yourself not to?

Otherwise just get i5-4590 + H97.

i was looking at the MX for the colour scheme and the fact that it is in tier 2A going by this link. i won't be crossfiring and so don't need the bigger motherboard. the problem is that in Australia i can't find the gigabyte z97x gaming 5 and i definitely can't get it from the store that i would like.
