So this is what I have right now:
CPU:amd 1045t 2.7ghz
Motherboard:Gigabyte 970A-D3
GPU: Asus Radeon 6770 HD
Cooler: CM 212 Evo
Ram: 8gb
Hard Drive: 2tb WD 64mb
PSU: 600W
case: NZXT Phantom 410 Black SE
So I am getting the 8350 from someone for $160 Brand New
Should I get the motherboard Asus Sabretooth 990fx? Am getting it for $120.
Also What do you think about my gpu?
If I OC my 8350 to 4.5ghz, will the CM 212 Evo help?
Um if you can get prices like that for the sabertooth and the 8350 I'd freaking jump on them. And I'd get a decent air cooler even if you weren't going to OC, because I have an 8350, and I'll tell you right now that the stock cooler is absolutely awful.
For OCing, I'd go with something bigger than the 212. Look at the dark knight.
Why not jump up to a closed loop watercooling unit? Why air cooling?
Great prices. Better grab em. 4.5 isnt really pushing the 8350 hard so the 212 is a 50/50 IMO. Toast gives good advice.
The problem is that the 8350 is a 125w cpu and it throws off a lot of heat to begin with. Mine idles at 36c with the stock cooler, which is awful for idle temps.
I'd at least get something a little bigger than the 212. If you push it to 4.5, you may want to go further in the future (you can get 8350s to about 5.2 stable) and the 212 will then NOT be able to keep up and will be a waste of money. Always better to buy what you will need in the future so you don't have to buy something twice.
And elmo, closed loop water cooling isn't really all that great. It's easy to achieve the same temps with a GOOD air cooler. If you're going to water cool, you need to invest in your own custom loop, and then it just gets really complicated to make if you have no prior experience and it also is a lot pricier.
What is the cheapes water cooling you guys recommend?
Also, Any thought on the gpu?
I do 3D animation and gaming(Games like Tera, BF3, Blade and Soul, Crysis 3)
Like I said, the cheapest water cooling I'd recommend costs 130 dollars. For like, 50-80 dollars, you can get an air cooler that's going to get the job done just as well.
If you use adobe, cuda is a no brainer. So a 670 or 680. If you don't use adobe, AMD is a great option. 7870xt, 7950, or 7970.
Got any Air cooler that you recommend?
Xigmatek dark knight.
If you're interested in an ASRock 970 Extreme 4 for 85 dollars shipped, let me know. I've got one I'm trying to sell. It's only a week old.
