First off i am gonna put it straight off. I am an AMD fanboy. Intel fanboys who only know how to preach people into using intel processors without a single reason can gtfo.
However i am also the rational type of fanboy,tht means i can acept intels with valid reasons.
Alright. To the planned setup.
Budget: 1k+ USD
(I have most of the miscellenous parts in my casing already. Only missing.....everythng that mounts on the motherboard and a SSD)
Motherboard : MSI 990FXA-GD80
Reason behind this: MSI has excellent built quality and usually runs things cooler than other vendors. And i simply cant resist the sexy looking mosfet heatsinks. also the PCI lanes with uniform X16 is also a huge plus for me cuz i will be running cfx
CPU:AMD Bulldozer FX6200
RBT: this is the "new" bulldozer that just came out yesterday. I want to see how well it goes and also buying it for the great oc headroom FX cpus have.
CPU cooler: Antec H2O 620
RBT: like i said, i am gonna oc the cpu over 4 gigahertz. This cooler fits in my budget.
RAM:Kingston HyperX 1600mhz CL9 4gbx2
RBT: Kingston quality and the color fits the motherboard. Nuff said.
GPU: MSI R6870 hawk crossfire
RBT: the hawk is nearly the perfect gpu for me right now as two of them fits my budget and its better than a single GTX580. Also the Twin Frozr III cooler is great for multi card setups.
SSD:Corsair Force 3
RBT: at where I am living, the force 3 is having a major price drop. And who can resist corsair products with price cuts anyways?
HDD: Seagate Baracuda 500gb sata 3
RBT: I already own this
PSU:ThermalTake ToughPower 750W
RBT: Onwed
Case: ThermalTake Commander MS-I
RBT: Owned
Opitcal Drive: Asus 24x
RBT: Owned. And dosent actually matters anyways.
Screen: BenQ 21.5 inch FHD
RBT: Owned.
Tell me what you think for this setup and if there is still space to optimise within my budget, please enlighten me.
