Some final advise?

[L Helps]

Hello,

With the help from this people on this forum and other sites this is what I got and just wanted to be sure wich one is the best build.

i3 3220
AsRock z77 pro 3
xfx hd 7870 core edition
Corsair 8GB DDR3-1600
xfx pro 550W core edition
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003
Cooler Master Elite 430 (Is this a good case?)

or should I get an AMD based build?

fx 8320
ASRock 970 Extreme3
MSI R7850-1GD5/OC
Corsair 8GB DDR3-1600
xfx pro 550W core edition
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003
Cooler Master Elite 430

Are you trying to game? What is your budget? Both of these are very unbalanced.

 

[L Helps]

yes I see now. This is also in the budget and maybe more balanced:

fx 6300
ASRock 970 Extreme3
xfx hd 7870 core edition
Corsair 8GB DDR3-1600
xfx pro 550W core edition
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003
Cooler Master Elite 430

all of these builds are 620,- and I dont want to get above that price.

My maingoal is gaming.

This is much more balanced.

Best of the 3 by far.

Alright but now I'm not sure about the MOBO and I was leaning to intel because I know the Asrock z77 pro 3 is a good one and I'm able to get an I5 in the future.
So anyone experience with the AsRock 970 extreme or other advise? Would be great

This PSU is total garbage. Get only from Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic.

PSU is made by Enermax NO2 in PSU manufactures and it's 80+ Bronze, it's not garbage at all!

The case and motherboard arn't available here. Any other suggestions?

I stand corrected. According to the hardware tests it performed very well with only slightly questionable results in noise and efficiency. Looks good to me.

Sure. You can go with Asrock 970 Extreme3. Avoid all Gigabytes expect 970A-UD3.

As for case check NZXT Source 210

Yep it's a super value unit!

Saw a test and i know it is a good psu but I saw to many good revieuws of the xfx to not take that one. I'm glad you helped. Not everything is available in my country so I stay at my build but I'm still not sure about the case.
