Main Feature i want is overclocked to the nads...i prefer AMD but everyone here seems to be intel mad....

looking at around £1.4k

CPU
HEATSINK
PSU
MOBO
RAM 16GB+
GRAPH CARDS
COOLING
SSD 120GB

My case is a COOLERMASTER STACKER 832

either screenshots of basket or written is fine (screenshots much prefered though)

i was thinking the bulldozer 8150...

why did you pick that graphics card i not clued on on graph cards

would this system be good for overclocking?

cheers

traffmeister · 24 Nov 2011 at 20:30

mobo wise i was going for either one of the top too dearest 1s in amd

stulid · 24 Nov 2011 at 20:32

The 8150 isnt in stock and is £84 more for just a 500Mhz speed increase.

why did you pick that graphics card i not clued on on graph cards

The 6970 is ATI's fastest single GPU card, these MSI ones include free games so sell the other pair.

would this system be good for overclocking?

Sure, look at some reviews online and see what results they got.

the psu is now showing £130 and graphics card £312(so £624 rather than £600).
nows not the best time to be spending so much on graphics card anyway.

you said in your other thread you wanted a pc that could be overclocked and fast for GAMING, well the i2500k is hard to beat on that front

stulid · 24 Nov 2011 at 20:43

Yeah but he wants AMD so give him what he wants.

I have seen SS of some people overclocking the 8120 and 8150 to some unreal speeds.

between 6Ghz - 6.5 Ghz. That was on a Custom Watercooling loop though. With a huge pump. So i would expect around that. Put im sure you'd get over 5 Ghz easy.

The 6970's are a good choice. A pair of them will run every game on Ultra for the next few years i suspect.

I cannot fault anything Stulid has suggested.

(I would have expected an intel rant by now though)

Doomedspeed · 24 Nov 2011 at 20:45

Ohh, sorry for the double post.

Fowler has a point but at the end of the day we need to help the person with the 'task' he gave us.

I think AMD still offer a decent set of CPU's.

Okay

CPU - you would be mad not to go i5 intel, you don't need i7 for games

HEATSINK - this one is efficient and quiet

PSU - good review and quiet, you may want a bigger one if your planning SLI or Cross fire

MOBO - lots of overclocking features

RAM 16GB+ - why are you running NASA, 8mb is overkill stop wasting your resources here - over 4gb doesn't make any difference nor does overclocking it

GRAPH CARDS - 580 are pro and work well - you could add another in the future for SLI. 570 SLI is good and Cross fire 6950's too.

COOLING - choose some case fans and build your rig intelligently - cool with air - if your watercooling I can't help, I would stick with air, cheaper less hastle

SSD 120GB - I included it - but why not 64GB with operating system and a game or two and use any old HDD for stuff you don't need to load fast

I know you got some cash left over - result! This rig would trounce any game which is only going to use 2 cores in any case.

A single 580 for simplicity, SLI 570 for super cool or Cross fire 6950 for pure performance at reasonable cost

Well no one can force you, so get what you are comfortable with, and if thats AMD, so be it

fowler002 · 25 Nov 2011 at 00:16

have you used intel recently? or is your hate based on old pentium etc days when amd was top?

you wanted the fastest/oced gaming sytem you can get, and as said thats the i2500k.

traffmeister · 25 Nov 2011 at 01:02

sorry just think AMD is not mainstream sheeeit so love them!

You've made this perfectly clear I think, in this thread and the other. many people are set in there ways and no amount of persuasion can alter it.

Buy what you are happy with.

even if their cpus are plain sheeit?

if I was spendin £1.4k I'd wantthe best available, oh wait I did spend £1.1k and did go for the best I could(well I'm wishing that I hadn't gone for the asrock extreme7 mobo but thats another story)

traffmeister · 25 Nov 2011 at 01:31

this what i'm thinking and this includes even me a 27 monitor

have cm stacker 832 so can fit like 9 120mm fans in lol

You really dont need to spend £60 on fans do you?

Only a single GFX card? bit poor isnt it?

A Antecc Kuhler 920 is cheaper and better.

As for the 27" screen, it offers the same resolution as a 24" screen.

And a 1000watts isnt need for such a slow GFX card or even a pair of them or even three of them.

Why dont you get a theme going or something?
