I am building my first gaming rig. I used to be a hardcore pc gamer, unfortunately I could not afford the components for a gaming rig and became a hardcore sony consoler. Now that I can afford to get back into PC gaming after 8 years alot has changed. I am opting to build my own pc to get the best bang for the buck and need some suggestions.
Here is what I have so far. Below the items I will list what i need help on.
Its going to be an AMD am3+ build.
PSU - Rosewill BRONZE Series RBR1000-M 1000W Continuous@40°C
Mobo- ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0
CPU - AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz
GPU - ASUS radeon r9 280x
Mem - G.SKILL Sniper Series 16gb (1866)
Liquid Cooling - Cooler Master Seidon 120V
SDD - Kingston SSDNow V300 120gb
HDD - Seagate Barrucuda 2tb
Optical - Asus or LG black BD-R (wifey wants a bluray burner lol)
Things I need help with -
PSU - the one listed is 129$ bronze and dont know how good it actually is, I want a 1000w gold mod, but dont want to spend 200 for one, I will be eventually crossfiring the GPU
CPU - I like the 8350, but 8350+ liquid cooling i could buy an 9370 that comes with an aztec liquid cooling system, but the 9370 is pretty much at its max and not alot of room for OC, suggestions?
Chassis - I have liked these two, other suggestions would be good, i like the blue/black scheme, and the cheaper the better
Thermaltake Overseer RX-I VN700M1W2N (full tower)
Corsair Carbide Series 500R (mid tower)
If i can find a crosshair v2 for the same price or cheaper than the sabertooth i may go with the crosshair as well...
If i get the 8350, i will be overclocking, if i get the 9370, then probably not, because i will need to invest in a much better liqcool.
Any suggestions and tips would be great.
