I need you guys to tell me what is my best options. Ill be performing an overclock on it. PS: Im already tech savy but I'm looking for opinions that might deter me from making epic mistakes.
I need an overclock-able MOBO for an FX-6300 (I don't have either)
A GPU
And whatever else you come up with. I'll be considering everyone's suggestions as options. And ill let you know what I build...maybe post some pics for ya. Ha
This is what im looking at right now... I think all the parts pair up nicely...later on when I OC ill get some CPU cooling on there...but for now i think it's good.
Look at my build and take off the CPU cooler.. it will be under $500 and you get more for your money. In both graphics and power supply... I also like asrock motherboards... I have a good track record with them and I like their software.
**There is no reason to pair an AMD GPU with an AMD CPU... cross platform builds work equally as well. Try to fit the GTX 770 into the build if you can. IT will put an amd 270x to shame.
hmmm....yes the 770 will beat the living cock off the 270x... but its roughly 80$ more...and besides...this build is for my gf...do like the 4gb of memory on the option i chose
Asrock 970 Extreme3's board is a extremely budget board with a weak VRM design. Pair that with a power hungry FX-8320 and you're either going to be experiencing overheating in the power delivery area, VRM throttling, or a burnt out motherboard.
4GB on an R9 270X isn't worth it. Due to the R9 270X's 256 bit memory bus width, paired with a low-mid end GPU, it's hard to be able to fully utilize all 4GBs of VRAM. Stronger cards, such as the R9 280 or 280X, have wider memory bus widths (384 to be exact) which allows for better accessibility to larger amounts of VRAM. Also, the number of stream processors is increased to create a stronger GPU, which makes the R9 280 and 280X more capable of utilizing more amounts of VRAM.
Your build has a single stick of ram and a 270x.. you can do better for the money. Also the 8320 is a old processor now.. it is better to just get a devils canyon i5 and not overclock. an i3 with a gtx 770 is a much better option. or a r9-280... but the gtx 770 are an amazing deal right now.
