Why start a new build on an old dead platform?

Look at a Skylake build, you will get better performance, and an upgrade path.

Also, if I remember correctly, that PSU is not one of the better ones.

If you were to give us a budget, we could probably help you put together a better system and also help you with prices.

I agree that those part choices are not very good.

ROMESKO99 · Jul 6, 2016

Why do you think my build is not good? Are the parts incompatible or you dont like the components

Corwin65 · Jul 6, 2016

If you give us a budget, we can probably put something together with better performance.

Your pick is built on an old, and dead platform.

You could probably do better. Again, budget is the determining factor.

All parts I written down bellow in the links are new nothing is going on my old platform all the components are new. I'm asking for compatibility if i can buy these parts without fear of uncopatiblity.

Once more thanks

They are compatible. Not the best PSU though.

I'm sorry i was not as clear as I should have been.

While the parts are new, they are old. That system is built on the AM3+ socket which will not have an upgrade path. That was why I suggested a newer build.

With a budget, we could have tried to get you the most out of that budget.

The architecture of the FX 8370, is 4yrs old now. It is really not any different, performance wise, than an FX 8350. AM3+ socket is even older.

ROMESKO99 · Jul 7, 2016

Its decent processor or not?

logainofhades · Jul 7, 2016

At this point in time, I wouldn't recommend it. In gaming, it can lose to even an i3 6100.
