Need help with buying a new PC. I want to buy AMD FX X8 9370 any suggestions?

[joeest]

hello,

I need help with buying new PC i was thinking AMD FX X8 9370
Also I have a graphic card GTX 570 Point of Vision it still runs latest games should I keep it or buy another one?

Thank you.

get an i7 or an i5 or fx 8350. FX 9370 is not worth it.

 

[ZeroRequiem]

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.

 

[joeest]

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.

Get a Xeon 1231v3. i7 4770 performance for $50 less that the i7. Pair it up with an H97 Pro4, and you will be set.

MBO socket 1150 ASROCK Z87 Killer,
CPU Intel® Core™ i7-4770, 3.40 GHz/8MB, socket 1150, Haswell,
RAM 8GB DDR3 PC1600,

What do you think about this?

 

[logainofhades]

Do not buy an i7 4770. You can get the same performance for $50 less with a 1231v3. If you want CF/SLI capability, pair it up with a Z97 extreme3.

MBO H97 Pro4

 

[logainofhades]

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

 

[joeest]

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?

 

[logainofhades]

8gb is enough. R9 270x/280x/290 would be my picks, if budget allows.

 

[joeest]

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?

 

[logainofhades]

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

 

[joeest]

PCI-E SAPPHIRE AMD RADEON R9 280X VAPOR-X OC, 3GB DDR5, DualDVI, HDMI, 2x mini DP. This good enough?

 

[logainofhades]

Yes, that is a good card.

 

[joeest]

i cant find here 1231v3.

 

[johnk38]

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.

 

[joeest]

when you try it tell us how it works

 

[logainofhades]

i cant find here 1231v3.

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

 

[joeest]

no but I have choose 4790 box...is it a good choise?

 

[logainofhades]

It is an expensive chip, but a good one. It is a shame you can't get the Xeons there.

 

[joeest]

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?

 

[logainofhades]

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