Hello

A fiend wants a build done so I said I'd find him a decent specI'd like a AMD cpu build (8core) I know I know...about intel being better but he'd prefer the AMD CPU option to allow more money spent elsewhere

He also needs :

Motherboard to allow OC of 4.6
fast 8 gig of RAM - can you get 2400 RAM working on an AMD motherboard?
Hydro cooler - 105 or 100??
CPU - 8 core
Case - decent size case but not a monster size. No cube type case
Graphics card - would prefer Nvidia
good quality SSD
1TB storage
Decent PSU - Would be going dual card in the future so a decent psu to cope with dual cards and a heavy OC'd AMD cpu

*Decent monitor*
Wireless card for internet
Keyboard

No OS needed, no mouse needed


If someone has the time can they also have a look at an intel build? With the same requirements within budget to give him another option but his preference is for an AMD at the min :) Ta :)

The price difference wouldn't really affect anything else much in all fairness.
 
Good spec Reaper.

But, £40 of the £50 CPU difference comes from going to an AMD GPU, and the OP says Nvidia preferred, so you failed ;)

Personally I'd go for something between the two - AMD for CPU and GPU, and pocket the £100.

In terms of grabbing a nice Intel processor & with Mantel support just being released, I'd be happy with a 290 :D
