after researching, testing different products, watching many reviews, i am ready to take the full step into building a new PC. At this moment i am running an 2007 office/standard home use computer which is near dead. It can not handle anything as it is only equipped with 4gbs of ram, and only has a 1.6 dual core pentium processor. The case is an extremely small HP case which has aboutley no air flow to talk about. My other PC is my I3 HP G42 laptop i got a few years ago for school so as you can see i am in need of a new Gaming machine badly.
Now after talking with alot of people and going through my buddy's PC i have decided to go with an AMD build over an Intel, mostly to do with cost asscotiation. Now im going to post up what i was thinking of building. The budget im trying to stick to is around $1000 CDN. If anyone has any suggestions or any helpful hints, these would be greatfuly appreciated.
Parts i have already accumulated are the Hard drives, extra fans and the OS and the disc drive ( which i am not a fan off using at all )
That Mobo is wayy overkill, if you look around you canm find some nice deals and 5$ shippping at places like NCIX, they regularly have bundles with 3570K's and the mobo for about 320-380$ depending on the motherboard, which is right in your price range.
Trust me on this on look for deals, i got a full build with a 750 Watt bronze PSU, 7950, 3570k, 8GB DDR3, 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Define R4 ect... for CAD $1209 with tax and shipping, if you already have the OS HDD's and Fans for 1000 you should be able to get a 7950 and 3570k w Mobo bundle and still come within budget.
Also, unless your doing a lot of editing or plan on using a RAM Disk 16GB is to much.
Alright, now when it comes to a CPU i like both options the FX series gives me and the old Phenom gives me. I also heard its better to get the 8320 over the 8350?
this is my build i would expand stuff as you want i am going to build my pc within weeks http://pcpartpicker.com/ca/p/yjuy you could go with the amd fx 8320 or 8350
8320 has a slower clock speed (3.5 instead of 4GHz)... but is $30 cheaper, so later down the line you could pick up a good aftermarket cooler and overclock anyways
Since its been awhile i thought id revive this to state what i have finaly ordered. ABove in the list section is the final order, bought most the parts on sale on NCIX.ca. Once evrything arrives and iss assembled i will post up some pictures of what it all looks like togther.
