AMD Build Check

[jwink86]

Hi All,

Can someone cast an eye over the below build and perhaps suggest any alternatives/improvements before I purchase?

There are currently a couple of graphics cards listed because I could do with some help in this area. Graphics card will need to have a HDMI connection so it can be connected to a TV, this is about the only criteria.

Rig is mainly going to be used as a media centre with some occasional light gaming at 1080p.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Sapphire Radeon R7 370 Dual-X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (11240-06-20G) £125.99
1 x AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8320 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail £119.99
1 x Asus M5A99X PRO R2.0 AMD 990X (Socket AM3+) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £115.99
1 x Asus Radeon R7 360 Strix OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £109.99

I know its still missing HDD's and more importantly a case but they have been accounted for.

Wow, cheers Guys there is definitely some food for thought here and has given me a good few things to check out.

This wont be replacing my 2500K as this is for a friend who sent me the details of the 8320 and I sort of went with it and used that as a starting point.

I did have a look at the G3258 which looked like it would suit, but think its only a dual core? But still, should be enough for these purposes.

Am I right in thinking Intel are releasing new chips fairly soon? Is it worth hanging on until next month to see if prices drop?
