Right, I have been thinking, and to put this into perspective, I have kind of decided to buy a gaming PC instead of a P*. I haven't fully chosen it, but logically I need a new computer and I could combine all my money I have saved up, and maybe get my parents and all family around to chip a bit in. Whithin a few months I could be able to afford it, depending on my parents' view on it.
I know very little to nothing about gaming but I miss console gaming a lot, and TF2! I am addicted to watching it and my current laptop can't run it properly, and it's about 5 years old. It's time to get a new pc methinks.
Anyway, I have been reading up and I think AMD would be a better budget processor for me, instead of an I7/5?
So, this is by no means completed, and I don't even know if any of this is any good, that's why I have asked you!
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Toshiba Q Series Pro 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Western digital 2tb hard drive (forget the name)
Video Card: XFX AMD Radeon R9 290X Graphics Card 8GB(btw whats the difference between the xfx and MSI one? apart from £50 difference?) thanks
Case: Cooler Master Storm Enforcer ATX Mid Tower Case ( i can worry about that later)
Power supply: corsair 650 watt rm650 psu
extras: corsair h100i
Now, I have no idea on a few of these things, especially the graphics card. I seem to think it would be compatible because it is AMD, and the 8gb stands out but is it any good? also, is this a good build? what would you change? thanks for any feedback, all appreciated!
