I need some advice on an AMD gaming build. I bought most of the parts in December of 2013, but had some serious personal stuff going, so my build was side tracked . Now I'm ready to buy the most important parts. So glad I didn't pull the trigger on the motherboard, ram, and cpu at the time. I normally cool the cpu with air. I guess I'm a wuss when it comes to water. My go-to heatsink has always been the 212 Evo, but bought a Noctua NH-D14.(Bought this last December) This thing is a monster. Maybe I should go water. I'm serious, but have reservations.
This build will be used for gaming only. No sli. Just (1) Asus 24" monitor, Corsair HX 750, Evga GTX 760 2G, and a Samsung 840 EVO ssd. A spinner will be used for storage. I have a FX6300, overclocked to 4.5g atm. It's getting 1.38v of juice, and never tops over 45C gaming. I need to learn to oc using the fsb. That will be my next post after I get the parts.
Here is what I'm going to order.
ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0
FX 8350- I want to overclock this cpu to 4.6g
Ram - No idea. Need help.
I should of made a thread in General Hardware for this question. My bad !
