Need help building a PC that can play games on high and I use photoshop, Illustrator and ZBrush. So I need it to run all of this and my budget is $850.
Please help
i found this: FX8350 asus m5A99fx pro pny GTX-660ti

or: FX8320 asus M5A99X evo r2.0 Msi GTX670.

or if you prefer intel, then i found this:

let me know what you think.. Grtz Angel ☺
^Nice builds.

A build with the brand new FX 6350. You can overclock this thing past 4.5GHz easily with the cooler in the build.
Nvidia graphics card, the EVGA 660Ti FTW edition. Lots of CUDA cores, all good.
Looks also very nice Advanced Creativity.
can you tell me a bit more about the FX6350, is this a new FX cpu?
Recently, AMD released a new quad-core and a new hexa-core, the FX-4350 and the FX-6350. They have a higher stock clock, and they are 10%-15% more powerful. The price to performance ratio is unbeatable.
hmm okay that could be very intressting and compententive to a i5 3570k then :) cool
It depends in the field. For productivity, the FX-6350 could be better due to it's 6 physical cores. But in gaming, the i5-3570k has more capabilities, and very few games utilize more than 4 cores.
If I was going with a new processor, I'd go with the i5-3570k, since I'm mostly a gamer. But when Haswell comes out, I'll probably get the i5-4670k, as rumored.

How are these benchmarks possible if these were taken in Febuary, 2012, and Crysis 3 came out in February?

Miss print i am gessing (use crome to translate the page)
I guess Crysis 3, and some other exceptions do utilize all the cores. But 99% of the current games (Far Cry 3, Battlefield 3, Black Ops 2, what ever) will only utilize 2-4 cores.
These are great builds but would a 3D program like Zbrush work great paired with a 6350 and 16GB of ram or would an 8350 be better.
i personaly think, with 3d modeling programs, you will be better off with the 8 core FX8350/FX8320 cause then you maybe can take the advaniced of those extra cores.

@ Deejta i personaly would not put a FX8320 on a motherboard like that, its a crap board, for FX 8 core cpu take at least a decent 970/990FX chipset board, that microatx board, has also not very much feutures only 2 dimm slots, powerphase would not be good enough. and so on.
also topic starter using adobe software, so its better for him probably to go with an Nvidia card, cause of cuda.
just dont go on a micro atx build wenn you gonne get a FX6300 or better..
the gpu you choosed is a very good one, wenn it comes to gaming, like i said before topic starter also using adobe soft ware, and 3d modeling software. so thats why i can advice him a Nvidia card.
for the rest its a nice try.
Grtz Angel ☺
i still stay with my 3 builds, maybe the Intel build could be interessting. but those amd builds are also very good in my oppions..
i disagree, given the small budget that board is fine for a non-overclocking build so no need to worry about stonger phasing. sure 2 dimms but the ram is a single 8gb kit. so room to add another 8gb later on if needed. if there was another $50 or so in the budget hell yeah a 970/990 board. plus i incorporated an aftermarket cooler since the standard amd coolers are rubbish.
yeah cuda, but openCL is just as good. with most apps now supporting both.
you have come up with some nice builds apart from the use of thermaltake psu's. terrible old design. high ripple and poor filtering. while also stating peak (catch on fire) power ratings instead of continuous power output.
if the op robs a bank go all out on a 2011 build.
