here is my PC build that im going to be taking to compete at skills USA TEXAS, I need help on naming my computer, to compete in skills usa you need to name your computer and i cant think of a same so HELP ME OUT HERE! :)
actually, if you use pcpartpicker, they calculate wattage for you.... newegg always overestimate the wattage you need, they ssaid that to run an xfire with 7970's, i would need >850W of power as a bare minumum. pcpartpicker says i need ~750W, which seems alot more reasonable
I'm gonna ignore the fact this build is unbalanced as fuck.
The FX-8350 is sort of the same chip as the FX-8320, except the 8350 chips ended being more stable and thus get a higher default clock rate, so it should be more overclockable than the 8320. Its just a defect of the fabrication process, when the chips go in they are all being built the same, but the fabrication process will yeild different quality chips, some will be thrown away as not working at all, the less stable ones will become 8320s and the more stable ones will become 8350s. I'm not sure how the FX process is, but back in the Phenom days, if you bought any kind of Phenom II the chip was a quad core, even if you bought an X2 or X3. The chip was deemed unstable as a quad core and thus branded as a dual core or tricore. Thus, back then, it was good fun for enthusiests to get their hands on a Phenom II X2 because they could potentially unlock the other two cores, making a (at the time) $100 CPU into a $160 CPU.
I would go for a asrock extreme, but i really want to have matching colors and also im going to SLI my graphics cards later, maybe if i go with the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157267&Tpk=asrock%20fatal1ty and then a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121656 Or a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121658
