Yeah, there's really no reason to get anything other than home-premium.
The only reason is if you need more than 16GB of RAM, and you won't.
And a deck of multiple SSD

A HDD won't even be able to pull of 7GB of ram usage

The speeds of the ram are too fast for even multiple HDDs to fill up during data transfers

Too bad I'd only play one of the games, and Medal of Honor is such a terrible game, they should have chosen something better.

Newegg introducing the new FX lineup.

The FX-8350 is supposed to be as powerful as a 3570k....we'll see once some benchmarks roll around.

Fail? At that price, it's great. Look at the other benchmarks, it absolutely trumps the i5 in some respects. It's a great processor for it's price.

And yes, it's related to this thread. ;)

The Flood....... if it doesn't go anywhere else, stick it her pooper

Idiots. I'm surrounded by idiots
Posted by: ferrrari
the flood, there a bunch of jerks, but there my jerks.

CPU: I will do video editing junk, and possibly other hardware intensive programs.

MOBO: Seems like good high end bang for my buck.

RAM: See CPU.

SSD: Yeah I guess I will switch to a Samsung

HDD: You guys thought it was good.

GPU: Ehhhh I will stick with the 670, unless you can provide me with overwhelming evidence that a Radeon card is better.

Case: No one really said anything about the case, and I will most likely reject in anyways.

PSU: Yeah I might SLi, and hey I will last awhile!

Optical: People thought it was fine.

OS: I want Ultimate because I can use the Vista thingy, and I will most likely get Professional in the end.

Thanks for the opinions!!!

And what 256GB Samsung SSD do you guys recommend that will compete with the Crucial M4?

The 830 series for the Samsung SSD.

But..but...you get Far Cry 3. Which looks awesome IMO.

  • 10.24.2012 6:14 PM PDT

Do I really need a signature?

I'm sure the 8350 will soon pass the 3770 in gaming. The only reason it isn't right now is because games haven't been updated to use the modules correctly yet. However that will only happen if the game developers actually decide to update it of course.

And then Intel's 16-core Haswell comes out. It's gonna be interesting when that actually happens.

Thoughts on this deal?

Toss in a HD 7700 or a GTX 650 Ti and you'll get yourself a decent budget gaming PC.

Who the hell do you think I am?

It seems that these new AMD FX chips are on par with the 3570k, for some parts.

It may handle programs take advantage of multithreading better, but for gaming which uses only single or light multithreading then the 3570k would still be a better price. It's good to see AMD is finally catching up in the CPU market, though.

Ugh, soundcard noobs ;)

1. Uninstall Realtek drivers
2. Download the Asus UNIFIED drivers.
3. Go into the BIOS and disable onboard audio.

Bam.

Destructoid made a $650 PC build guide.

It's not really the best guide....but I just thought that I should share it with you guys.
