So i have this build in mind, i have asked this question here yesterday to but wasent really helped out right, i appriciate the help offered though.

this is my build, a friend of mine has it to and runs nearly every game maxed out.

Aerocool PS B Series XPredator x1 - Case
Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo - CPU Cooler
AMD Black edition FX 8350 - CPU
MSI 970 Gaming - Motherboard
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 2x4 - RAM
MSI Radeon R7 370 Gaming 4GB - GPU

(I already own a 520 watt cooler master psu, not sure if that would be enough or do i also need a new one?)

---

I got the advice to take a intel i5 4460 and other graphics card, is this build bad or what? i havent really got an clear answer out of it. All i use this pc for is heavy games and school work. My friend runs games like gta 5 and battlefield hardline on ultra. What are the good/bad things?

thanks people!

google the amd cpu vs intel i5 there are a lots of tests reports to show that the i5 of any speed is a lot faster then the older amd cpu. the amd r370 is just there new rebranded gpu that does directx 12. with a 500w power supply i would look at the lower watage nvidia 900 gpus. for gaming cases look for the newer cases like the r200/r300 from cosiar that have space in the hard drive bay for longer gpu and or removable drive bays. also make sure they have two fans in a push pull set up and space for cables.

this case is better then the other one do to it layout and it slightly cheaper. if you dont need a full size case look at the mid size one to save a little extra. full...
