Dimitris Tolios Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 What will this PC be used for? General comments regardless: Mobo: The Mobo is a bit pricey for no real reason - unless you plan on overclocking your CPU heavily, going for an expensive mobo usually adds nothing but cost. It won't be "more stable", it won't be "more upgradable". An ASUS M5A99X EVO or GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 will do the job more than fine, support all the features 81xx and 83xx CPUs have to offer and can even overclock them pretty well. CPU:Try to get a 8320 or 8350. Those do cost a bit more at the moment, being "young" in the market, but their performance does worth it over the 81xx series, especially if you WON'T overclock. HDD: If you don't plan on getting a WD Black that offers 5y warranty, get a Seagate 7200.14 drive. Those are by far the fastest 7200rpm 3.5" drives today, but offer 2y warranty. If you are after performance, those will be noticeably faster than 1TB Caviar Blacks (and ofc Greens and Blues). I understand that you are on a budget, so I won't even mention SSDs, as I still consider them "luxury" items in most occasions, and I would prefer spending the money on CPU/GPU before resorting in one.

Dimitris Tolios Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 AMD FX series of 8-core CPUs have two generations. The first is the FX 81xx, with two models, 8120 and 8150 (the 50 being faster). The 83xx is the new generation, with two models, FX 8320 and 8350.
