Title: New PC soon.
Post by: Nightmare798 on December 18, 2014, 09:46:46 am
So, since the internet shops around the world dont seem to offer neither the processor I wrote about few days ago, nor do they ship deliver to P.O (newegg does not even ship to europe, those goddamned bastards), I decided to build completely new pc from scratch. with the exclusion of OS, RAM sticks and HDD, my price went down by a nice sum, so this is what ill probably be buying:

Case: Corsair carbide series 300R
CPU: AMD vishera FX-6300
MoBo: ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3
GPU: MSI R9 270
PU: Corsair CX600
Ram: N/A
HDD N/A

Anyone has any suggestions to make this better?

Why not i5? AMD cpus are generally not very favored.

That's what I thought... Personally, I'm still aiming at the Xeon 3 1230V3 (http://www.amazon.de/Intel-BX80637E31230V2-Quad-Core-Prozessor-Sockel/dp/B0084JTFMI/ref=sr_1_1/277-5201203-8114838?ie=UTF8&qid=1418918066&sr=8-1&keywords=Intel+Xeon+E3-1230+v2)

I have the same CPU and it's not bad but apparently it's really only three cores with three virtual ones or something like that.

I would've gone with Intel had I known better/wanted to spend the extra cash the two years or so ago I built this PC.

Edit: On a completely unrelated note, why is it when Steam needs to update a game/download something they somehow manage to put themselves in priority over everything else and take all of my bandwidth?

Around 600 Dollars.

Lets just say I am not an intel ethusiasist. Besides, their stuff is often overpriced...

Good thing the motherboard has AM3+ socket, I can practically upgrade the cpu whenever I want.

I doubt that is the case. They would have to ramp up the frequency of those three cores to a ridiculous margin.

I will probably have to get some rad cooling for this, as Ive heard this cpu likes to overheat...

If steam pisses you off, just go into settings and limit the bandwidth, most patches are not urgent anyhow.

Or do as I do with fucking Payday and turn off auto update so things just update when you want to play them... god how i hate payday updates.
