Hello everyone I am building a desktop and I am wondering how well it would run. I am planning on playing games on it and I am a die hard AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) fan. How does my build sound.

CPU (Central Processing Unit): AMD FX9590
RAM (Random Access Memory): Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB
HDD (Hard Disk Drive): Seagate Desktop HDD 1TB 3.5 (Its a 3.5 because I'm poor)
Motherboard: Gigabyte AM3 Plus AMD 970
PSU (Power Supply) Cooler Master Elite V2 550W Power
Case: Perhaps a DeepCool Tesseract I am unsure
GPU (Graphics Card): Again TBD I'm poor so I need an inexpensive one prefferably R9

Overall how would you say this would run?

Specs: 4.7 GHz. 8 Cores. 6Gb/s. 550W. 3.5 HDD. 32 gbs of ram eventually. Not sure what else is cool

I'm gonna go ahead and be completely honest with you.

That build would be absolutely terrible. The FX9590 is terrible. That motherboard is not even officially compatible with it. AMD recommends a 1000w psu for it. That specific 550w unit is also terrible and wouldn't last a week.

8GB of RAM is all you need.



I recommend starting completely over from scratch and choose better parts. Please avoid the FX9590.

I do not hate AMD, but AMD has not released any new competitive cpus in like 4 years so it's very very hard to recommend using one at this point in time.

Zen should be out soonish and is supposed to be pretty good. If you seriously insist on sticking with AMD, I highly suggest you wait for Zen.
