This wud do 4 a GD couple years. jus update the cpu when I have money to do. Seems ok for a mid build not to expensive and reviews on specs of my build is somewhat all sweet reviews I done my homework this time lol. Wgy what build do u suggest.

superninja12 · Mar 26, 2016

let me tell you whast wrong with ur build

- cpu will get very hot and si evry power hungry , and wont outpeform this cpu unless we go into video edditing
- motherboard is not good cuz it ahs got no heatsinks forget ocing on this ,also u cant uprgade into a better cpu cuz the alst cpu for this mobo was released 3 years ago. every amd cpu will bottleneck high end gpu cards
- 16gb ram its good but u dont get any better gaming experience than 8
-standart poweruspply well this is a major thing, its unknown the voltage regulation can be bad and this can break your componenents or damge them in time. also if u go past 550w it will go very unstable liek with all standart power supplies.

superninja12 · Mar 26, 2016

ooh im mxiing up op and a ramdon i think

ac13044 · Mar 26, 2016

The mobo had to have at least x4 usb 3.0 n x4 satas for storage and usb slots for music production cd decks , mixer am cpu why dual core I5 way to go for now as I multitask like hell. am psu have a 650w so I can upgrade In future not like that hardware would need that much watts ano the CPU has more ghz and matters also but an i3 dual core over a quad core ano. Cores boost performance at each core as there running at over 3ghz on each core depending on what cpu I have.

superninja12 · Mar 26, 2016

if more cores would matter amd would be the king of cpus, but every cpu of them will bottleneck high end graphic cards.
the i3 has got a single STRONGER CORE AND HYPER THREADING this means the i3 will never stand still is extremly efficient.
thats why its as good as the amd 8350 and uses less heat and is upgradeable.

idk if im talking to ac or op but ehhh?????

ac13044 · Mar 26, 2016

How cpu is never over 50c at heavy load and at 15-20 idle currently have a be quiet dark rock pro 3 as a box cooler works well mobo released.in 2015. Also cpu and mobo also ram and psu is all updated tech just on a budget build also do not plan to overclock anyways. I had a 700w PSU areocool in my last build and had served its purpose. Well. They fo not make things that cud go haywire its the 21st century. Aye break as everything does lol but Asus must be doing alryt for going over 10-15 years I think .

ac13044 · Mar 26, 2016

Yea I don't mind about cores as long as it performs well and is meant to be hot on the CPU I wud of went for i7 only it was expensive and a rip off cut prices down a bit. I run most games over 70fps gtav at 90fps on high or ultra dishonoured 125fps. Also performance is sweet in cpu I have anyways doesn't bottleneck at all cud o.c to get better performance but I do want to make cpu and latest build to do.me a couple of years. LL
