So, what with the summer drawing to a close, I decided that now would be time to prepare for the cooler weather of fall. And I just so happen to have a $500 Tiger Direct gift card that I won in a computer assembly race back in May. Given Haswell's lackluster improvement, I decided to get an AMD FX8 setup to see what it's all about. So, here I am. I'm in the process now of setting up a new system. Specs are:
ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2
AMD FX8350 (what else!)
160GB Western Digital HDD (bigger than necessary, but all I have is this and 1TB ones)
4GB G.SKILL DDR3 (not sure what speed)
Antec 650w PSU
Radeon X300 (?)
TigerDirect wanted an unreasonable $109 for a Corsair H80i, so I'm running on stock cooling for now. I'm installing Windows 7 on it for now; I'm going to see if I can get a 10% OC out of it. Then I'm going to load on Mint and WCG and see how it does
