Calling all PC building experts! [UPDATED SPECS AGAIN]

Depends on what you do but I would reccomend 16gb anyday if you aint just surfin around and watching movies.
If you are like me; playing games, watching movies and have like 30+ internet tabs open.

And if you got some money over do buy a ssd. It will make your system so much faster.

I hate when people say 16GB of RAM is much more than you need, if he want's it, let him get it.

I'd say do something like this:
- Processor:
Get a I5-4690 instead. It uses less power and the stock intel cooler is excellent for not overclocking system.
- Motherboard:
A simple B85 chipset motherboard should suffice (ASRock B85 Pro 4)
- RAM:
8GB should be more than enough for gaming.
- Power supply:
Get a XFX or Seasonic 550w power supply. Both brands have very good quality power supplies for a decent price!
When getting the FX8350 and overclocking 650w or more is recommended, although 550w should do fine.

The graphics card looks very nice! But make sure it has a custom cooler.
The standard AMD coolers are very loud and don't cool very well...
XFX does make good coolers and I own the XFX R9 280X myself and it doesn't get above the 65 degrees celcius!

How about this? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nwNQcf

That build should do you quite well.

I currently have pretty much the same build except everything is a tier below yours and I get about 60+ FPS on both those games on highest settings.

Edit: Btw you didn't add in your powersupply. And ignore all these intel fanboys. The small performance boost is not worth the price tag imo.

Which brand of PSU are you going with?

I have more or less the same build with a less powerful video card. Yes you can play those games easily.

PSU: Corsair CX600 or CX700... Modular type for better cable management but a non-modular would still suffice...

and use an aftermarket cooler and thermal grease for that FX-8320... It will get quite hot when it throttles up to 4Ghz... Noctua fans and thermal grease are good at cooling but you might not like the aesthetics since most of the good fans comes only with brown color...

I recommend these power supplies when you go with the FX8350 build:

• Seasonic X series X650 (Best quality, but pricier than others)
• Corsair CX750 (Cheaper, but a little lower quality compared to Seasonic)

ANd think about getting better MOBO for fx 8-series. As I stated before, but it was gone, Asus Sabertooth or even Asus Crosshair V. Just because those things suck power ALOT. Needs good 8 + 2 power phase ;)

nice configuration :) , should work great with mantle :D, anyway maybe take a more powerful PSU , 800-850w i think, better if u have more power and if u have to do upgrades or overclocking u will not have to change psu, maybe look at asrock motherboards, they have nice utilities for istant overclokcing :), and dont use the stock cpu cooler heatsink, look for something bigger and better like shythe or nocuta models, anyway more heatpipes and bigger heatisnk, amd works well but it's hot :D, i'm using a scythe orochi on my fx 6350 :D 35C in idle, 50C while hard gaming :D , and dont forget to add fans to controll air directions 2 or 3 12cm will work great(ps. dont buy cooler master fans they make noise, go for noctua,scycthe,arctic or zalman) :)

the best advice i can ever give you is this site: pcpartpicker

Wow pretty good build and yes the PSU is extremely good. You should get at least a power phase of 8 or more if you want to overclock.

why going for AMD for a gaming pc? They are just bad cpus and should be only taken in consideration for low budget systems. If your budget is under 500€ go for AMD, if it's higher there is no sense on buying it. The dvd drive is a waste of money unless you need it for a specific purpose. And please, buy an SSD instead of an HDD, you will thank me later when you try it
