Re: Official "I want to build a New PC!" Thread

GMSS mentioned it in the Steam gaming thread, but he was just talking about 8-Core AMD processors. Seems to include the 8320 up to the 9590 series. I do believe the 8320 and 8350 should run on air cooling while those in the 9k series are meant to be liquid cooled.

I believe mine is liquid cooled

Thanks i couldn't remember the thread.

I have an fx 6300 but would like to go up one more notch. I'm not over clocking anything..not sure the 8320 is a big enough jump?

I would need someone to build me a CPU lol I don't know nothing about building a CPU

Here is one set of benchmarks I found:

Doesn't seem to a great jump, but maybe the 8320 has more room for overclocking? I forget which one I dropped in my parents PC.

Just from that it almost seems useless to even get the 8350.... the 6300 doesn't seem bad at all

Unless I'm wrong

Re: Official "I want to build a New PC!" Thread

Hey guys looking for some opinions on a possible build for my first gaming pc. I do not have a huge budget and I was wondering if this would be a decent build. Thanks

Give Logical Increments a look. Has builds for every budget out there.

Can you build or buy one already made from this website?

You can't. But they provide links to purchase each part for the best price as well as guides on putting your rig together.

Oh okay thanks appreciate the feedback!

That Gt 630 is not a gaming card, and would not give you any good results if you're looking to build a gaming pc.

Thought I replied earlier but yeah, as far as gaming is concerned you're not going to see a huge jump, or even a really noticeable one from a 6300 to 8350. I made a mistake in thinking I was upgrading from a 1090T to 8350 but there's no difference. Even if you switch to Intel, the difference might be noticeable but not worth the money, imo, which will be hundreds of dollars in making that switch. Just OC your 6300 if it's bottle-necking your GPU, one can get it up to 4.5GHz on air(YMMV).

I haven't had any bottlenecks to be honest... that would've been a way to make sure but whatever I've played so far as has been fine. I get some lag when streaming a live playoff game from TNT on one monitor and playing 2k15 on the 2nd monitor but that's expected.

I wanted to hear from someone who might've seen it in action, and not so much these site benchmarks... that only means so much to me honestly, because every game they reference I dont even play

Other than that I just need to bite on Arma 3 now

Re: Official "I want to build a New PC!" Thread

Yeah, like I said, I had a 1090T and wanting to go a "step up", bought the 8350 during a sale. That was a mistake. There was literally no difference in games for me using the same GPU. I was able to OC the 8350 a little higher but that amounted to minimal performance improvements. For gaming, more likely than not it's the GPU that's going get you the bigger gains. It wasn't until I upgraded from a 6950 1GB to a 7950 3GB that I finally saw the big big jump in performance I was looking for. I imagine you saw the same with your new 280X.

I passed the AMD setup along with the 6950(When I upgrade to the 300 series, the 7950 will be passed down as well) down to my boys who were at the time using an old pre-made machine that wasn't really suitable for gaming anymore and switched to an Intel based system for myself. I'm now using an i5 4670k, OC'd @4.4GHz and while there's a clearly noticeable difference in some, maybe even most (especially if they are CPU-bound like MMOs)games, I can admit that it wouldn't have been worth the $300+(MOBO+CPU) I spent to get it if I only had one desktop in the house. Note, this is all specific to gaming, I'm not talking about productivity, rendering etc.

As for Arma 3 I could have sworn you pulled the trigger on that a long time ago, but I'm probably thinking of Arma 2. I thought you, Phobia and some others were already playing it together.
