Hey guys after some extensive research I have come up with a build that I want to start but I just need some expertise advice on putting the finishing touches.
Im not planning to overclock at this time so thats why I havent decided on the cpu cooler just yet.. I was told that since not OC'ing I can even get by with the standard cooler that comes with the CPU and save some money.. Is this possible or should I go for something like the Coolermaster Hyper-212 EVO just to be safe? Or any other suggestions? I also needed suggestions on a good Graphics Card (preferably 3GB)..
Anyways if there is something I can take out and replace and save money on please do let me know because Im not overclocking and it is my first build so a little lost lol same as if there is something Im missing...
that power supply looks bad, so id avoid it, and as for getting an 8350, if you play to overclock just get an 8320 and use the extra money to buy a decent air cooler, they can OC just as high as an 8350 usually.
What if I wasnt to overclock would the 8350 be fine with the stock cooler that comes with it or would I still have to get a better one?
p.s I dont know much about OC and I wasnt planning on fiddling around with it just yet.. I wanted a good fast stock system for some gaming and general purpose that will last me for a few years..
From my experience the FX series chips run too hot to reliably use the stock cooler. It is always advisable to get a better cooler no matter what you are doing. Even a minimalistic aftermarket cooler tends to be better than the stock ones. The 8350 is slightly better out of the box, so if you don't plan on overclocking get that one, but I definitely recommend getting a better cooler.
Yeah I figured that may be the case... Would the Coolermaster Hyper-212 EVO be a good choice? If not is there any you can recommend for a reasonable price? Liquid cooling isnt really necessary either is it, just a normal fan would do?
The Coolermaster Hyper-212 EVO would be fine. You could go with an H60 or H100i depending on your case and how far you want to push the 8350. The 8320 wouldn't OC as high as the 8350. I wouldn't recommend OCing with the stock cooler since they're not that great.
