get an i7 or an i5 or fx 8350. FX 9370 is not worth it.
June 30, 2014 3:33:07 AM

i5 4690k or fx 8320.
Going with an i7 4770k for example would NOT give you significant increase in performace.
The FX 8350 is basically an OC-d FX 8320, but the 8320 is cheaper, you could spend that extra money on a better GPU or better cooling for the CPU.

I'm already considering for i5 I was thinking to buy i7.
Do you know the good MBO for 1150?
And what about my GPU GTX 570 Point of Vision?

If you have the money then get a new GPU.

MBO socket 1150 ASROCK Z87 Killer,
CPU Intel® Core™ i7-4770, 3.40 GHz/8MB, socket 1150, Haswell,

What do you think about this?

That board is fine if you don't plan on running multiple GPU's.

I'm buying this in Croatia I will buy all that you said.
RAM is it enough 8 gb?
And the best compatible GPU for this PC?

8gb is enough. R9 270x/280x/290 would be my picks, if budget allows.
June 30, 2014 10:47:09 AM

budget allows that i will see what offers we have here...and what about PSU how much is it enough?
And does RAM mhz make any diffrence? or just take 1600 2x4gb?

1600 is just fine. Power supply, you want a quality unit of around 600-650w. Evga/XFX/Seasonic/Corsair to name a few.

June 30, 2014 11:06:02 AM

Not suggesting anything right now, but just FYI, the AMD FX 8350 had a price drop to $159.99 on Amazon. I ordered it yesterday for my first build, so we'll see.

How about the 1230v3? It is 100mhz slower, but nothing you would ever notice.

It is an expensive chip, but a good one. It is a shame you can't get the Xeons there.
June 30, 2014 1:55:29 PM

yeah I know...but I'm going nuts about this PC I was always on AMD this is my first time that I'm going on Intel...so i have my doubts what is good since I'm buildng for gaming...i did comparison on game debate AMD 8350 with 4790 there are not so diffrent or I'm wrong?
Sorry if I'm beeing boring but I really need help guys?

The 4790 is a far better CPU than an FX 8350.

It is a good one if you are going to add another GPU. But if it is a single gpu system then I'll say too much expense on the mobo and the processor. Get something like r9 280 or the X or gtx 760 or 770. And slim down to an i5 and a ''H'' or "B" model mobo. "Z" model is not needed.

The GPU is weak for that CPU, either ditch the CPU and get a 4690k with at least an R9 280x, or ditch the ram (get 2x4GB) and get a faster GPU, you can buy RAM later on.

I would go with 8gb ram over 16gb, Go with a less expensive H97 pro4, and use money saved towards better GPU. The 270x isn't horrible, but you can do better for the same amount of money.

1120 Euros = $1500. If we consider $500 as the as the taxes put on that items then we can consider that 1120 Euros worth part would be equal to $1000 parts. So I'll replace them with this parts:-

PCI-E GAINWARD GeForce GTX 770, 2GB DDR5, HDMI, DualDVI, DP or PCI-E ASUS AMD RADEON R9 280X DC2-3GD5, 3GB DDR5, Dual DVI, HDMI, DP which is better for my PC I will leave everything

I found another GPU PCI-E SAPPHIRE AMD RADEON R9 280X VAPOR-X OC, 3GB DDR5, DualDVI, HDMI, 2x mini DP. So of that 3 GPU which do you recommend

I'll personaly go for Vapor-X. But an OC 770 is slightly powerful(1-5%) than the OC r9 280x. If the 770 is OC'd one then go for that. But it's your choice.
