Is this a fair PC build?

[Kevlar]

I'd go at least 600W for upgrade and security.

I'd double that for the luls.

It's sad since I actually have a 1200w

How much is your electricity bill, lol. I am not rich.

Swap the FX-8150 for the FX-8350, approximately the same price but more performance and newer technology.

They don't sell them here.

 

[smothdude]

Well wish me luck, I am ordering the parts tomorrow. Hope it all works out. When it is built I will post performance specs. (I also upgraded with a CPU AMD FX-8350 and Radeon 7970 card. I also put 800W Power supply).

Tell us how it runs when you stick it together, I'd be much interested to hear how well the almost-best AMD processor runs.

Yeah, I'm curious to see too.

I got the parts today ($1400), I changed that build up a bit (HDD, RAM, Motherboard, Power supply, monitor and got an SSD). I might stick them together today, but surely tomorrow if not tonight. Wish me luck!

List of games I will be testing it on first:
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Planetside 2
GTA 4
Payday 2

Any "free" games that I should test it on other than planetside 2?

Possibly M&B with very high battle size to see if the cpu can handle that sort of thing (which it should).

 

[Splintert]

Hmm don't have a point of reference for comparison on those

Test on everything you've got

Alright xD I am pretty sure that installing windows and games I'm playing on my SSD will make them much faster, am I correct?

 

[Splintert]

No, your SSD won't effect FPS at all. It will greatly speed up load times though.

That's what I meant

 

[smothdude]

Well... Current benchmarks of what I have been able to test so far:
Minecraft with shaders mod and full settings: 120+fps

Counter Strike: GO: 120+fps

M&B Warband 400 man battle: 80-100fps

I will add more as I test more.

 

[Kevlar]

See what's you get for minesweeper.

 

[smothdude]

5 fps  jk lol.

 

[smothdude]

Planetside 2 Ultra settings in large battles: 60+ fps
Payday 2: 100+ fps

Will soon be adding more.

 

[Kevlar]

Try metro 2033, nearly as strong as minesweeper.

 

[smothdude]

Arma 3: 60fps on multiplayer 120+fps on singleplayer.

 

[Splintert]

Arma 3: 60fps

No way, I didn't think it was possible

But that is in multiplayer, Multiplayer makes me slower.

 

[Splintert]

I get to tick along at 15-25, 30 max.
