$1200 Gaming Desktop

90 F? Where the hell do you live? That means that your CPU will be, under air cooling, at least 90 F, all the time. It won't explode, but OCing will be limited.

well i live in a volcano during the summer, and i have carpet in my room... so thats my sad case, should i change cpu cooler? also what about the other components, will they blow up or last a week? i want this computer to last till 2033.

 

2033? This comptuer will last until 2016, without too many upgrades.

i 've decided to get the intel 3570k cause of my temp conditions... sorry amd fanboys i still love you <3

Ok. Here is a build I would definately suggest to you:

Any keyboard for 15 bucks will do the job gamingwise. If 1300 is too much off your limit you can cut on Storage (1tb instead of 2, and 64 gigabyte ssd, well...) This monitor has an IPS Panel so I would definately get it.

no fanboyism intended. I think it's just a better option. Gamingwise espeacially. 90 C??! What?

my room temp is 35-40 C

im naked ^__^

Overclockingwise you won't be able to push it very far XD. But the fx 8350 is a better choice for gaming. In some cases not, in many cases yes.

are you telling me this cpu will remain under 60c at load with my current conditions?? :D IMPOSSIBLE

i went ahead and committed this atrocity

I know he tested the 3570k, but you get the idea...

8350 will fry my moba!!!! I LIVE IN A VOLCANOOOOO

At 40 C I think it will be ok.
But I can understand your doubts. 3570k will overclock better in these conditions for sure. At the other side you have more cores with the 8350. Though call. If VOLCANOOOOO is going to make it even hotter, well go for the 3570k XD. And get the p8z77 motherboard with it. But now it costs more...

(You can cut on storage, it will save you about 100 bucks with 1tb harddrive, and 64gb ssd)

found the gigabyte model, looks good.

i love you please marry me?

the only thing i ask for is a full tower instead of a mid 1 :o

 

ah, I changed the original fx 8350 link -_-. If you search the mainboard, it's the: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 ATX AM3+

wow.... slowly. How about you send me a pic, and I will decide...
