I really didn't know where to post this so I decided to post it here because it mainly addresses the CPU. Here's my AMD Scorpio Setup specs:
CPU: NEW AMD FX 8320: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009O7YU56/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
CASE: Cooler Master Storm Enforcer: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WK3KKQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
GRAPHICS CARD: Sapphire Radeon Vapor-X HD 7770 1GB DDR5: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00861BB0S/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
MOTHERBOARD: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008B6ONXK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088PUEPK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&smid=A23NVCSO4PYH3S
SSD: None at the moment but will get one later but not before I finally build my PC so we have to forget about it now
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB DDR3 1600MHZ: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QBUL1C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
DVD/CD DRIVE: Samsung SH-222BB/BEBE 22X SATA DVDRW Internal Drive: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006B7R9PU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?ie=UTF8&smid=A23NVCSO4PYH3S
PSU: Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 600W: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NJ0CZA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Keyboard/Mouse: Logitech Desktop MK120 Mouse and Keyboard Combo: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NREDC8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_9?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
So these are the specs of the new computer that I am planning on building. What I am planning on doing is video editing, video rendering, video converting, web browsing, youtube, video recording, Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3 and Borderlands 2 (if I ever get BF3 or BL2).
All that said, I am probably gonna play Minecraft on MAX and record, TF2 on HIGH and record, BF3 on MEDIUM or depending on what my graphics card can handle and record, same with Borderlands 2. While playing either one of these games at a time, I will run a 24/7 Minecraft Server, skype friends and maybe render a video and convert a video. Maybe sometimes go on youtube or browse the web in case I need help with doing something on a game I'm playing. So basically I will be running 1-3 things (Minecraft server, one game and record but not always record), 1-4 things (same as the last one except will also browse internet/watch youtube video), 1-5 things (all of the above and skype), 1-6 things (all of the above and render a video/convert a video/edit a video).
So will my AMD Scorpio Setup be able to handle all this workload? I am hoping that it will, because I am spending about $700 on this. Please give me a reply ASAP, I really need a good reply, please no fanboyism, Intel is also killer, their i5s and i7s kill AMD processors in almost everything, but their price is way out of my range, that's why I am deciding to go with AMD. Will or will not my Scorpio Setup be able to handle some or all of the different workload sets I mentioned earlier? Again, I really hope it can.
