Good PC Build?

[kaieveshollis]

This is my first ever PC build. I'm happy with it but I have very limited knowledge so any advice would be great.

CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake CLP0608 99.1 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Graphics Card: Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Video Card (x2)
Power Supply: Corsair RM 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

I am also not sure whether to go with AMD or Intel (Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor) and also am yet to find a good case

Thanks in advance

What do you want to use it for?
If gaming, what resolution?


Also, get an SSD and an aftermarket cooler for CPU

Yes its main use would gaming

The best resolution i can get with my budget (£700-£800)

Is there certain SSDs and CPU coolers you could recommend?
and when you say aftermarket is that second hand?

i5-4690K if you can afford it.

750Ti's do not do SLI.

You can get better PSUs for the money.

You would benefit from starting off with a Solid State Drive, like Foster Grant said and then add mechanical drives for more storage later.

What's the total budget?

So Intel over AMD?

SLI? Also forgot to mention that i would eventually like to have a triple monitor display but am not sure what i would need to make that possible

What PSU would you recommend?

My budget is £700-£800 excluding things such as monitors as i will get those at a later stage, i already have the hardware (keyboard, mouse, monitor etc.) for a basic setup

Yes, more so if main use is gaming.




"Graphics Card: Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Video Card (x2)"

Took x2 to mean two 750Ti's. Maybe you can clear that up?

Yeah that did mean 2 of them as i was told that this would be necessary in order to have a triple monitor display

Will depend on your eventual setup, but SuperFlower Leadex, EVGA G2 and GS are better (and usually cheaper) than Corsair RM.

Ok thanks, i'll look into them

Cool. And what about Windows?

I believe my brother has a copy i can use

I mean something like a noctua cooler or an AIO watercooler.

The stock coolers that come with CPUs are terrible. The one I used to have on my 8350 sounded like a plane was going to take off, didn't keep it cool either.

So that's instead of the Thermaltake CLP0608 99.1 CFM CPU Cooler?
