Is this setup a good one for my custom build PC?

Zhainar · May 27, 2016

I have a CX750 Corsair PSU, Geforce GTX960 GPU, M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard, and a AMD FX-6350 Six-Core CPU. Also have 16gb of RAM, a h100i corsair hydro series cpu liquid cooler. Have a Thermaltake V6 tower with max capacity of fans avail.

2nd question: For fan functionality, what direction should I be facing the fans to get the max cooling capabilities from them? Should I have some facing in and other blowing out? Or should it be all one direction, if so which direction?

I have researched the compatability, but for playing games new and old wanting to get some opinions on this setup.

You say "i have",does that mean you already have it or want to buy it?

For the fans,front/bottom as intake,back/top as outtake.

For the price of the FX 6300 and the H100 you could of bought a i5 Intel processor and got all around better performance. Since you need nothing close to 750 watts you could of also got a higher quality PSU for the same price of the CX 750.

This is all the setup I have had and been using. Not willing to swap out my motherboard just for an Intel chip, I've always preferences and anyways. Just simply wanting feedback on my rig.

Looks like something pretty decent,yeah you could have made other choices,but the cpu and gpu are pretty well matched and maybe you can even take the cpu clock abit higher reducing whatever bottleneck there could be if you might want to upgrade the gpu in the future.Depends on what the motherboard allows too,not looking at what limit the cpu itself has.

If you have fun with it and that it meets your expectations is the most important thing.
