So I recently built my first gaming rig on my own and decided I wanted to go a bit more all out on it. I decided to stick with AMD because of budget reasons and I'm becoming more familiar with the brand. I currently have a Richland apu setup and am moving to an FX series build. So I'll list both rigs first:
Current:
------------------------------
ASUS a55bm-plus/CSM
AMD Richland A10-6800k Black Edition
Stock AMD CPU Cooler
G.Skill Ares 2400 DDR3 RAM (8gb)
ASUS Radeon 6870
Kentek 700w PSU (crap, I know)
Apevia X Sniper 2 Mid Tower Chassis
New (with some current parts):
------------------------------
ASUS Crosshair V Formula
AMD FX 8350 Black Edition 4.0ghz
Zalman CNPS5X Performa CPU Cooler
G.Skill Sniper 2133 DDR3 RAM (12gb)
MSI R9 270x Gaming 2gb
Corsair TX650w PSU (maybe go modular?)
Apevia X Sniper 2 Mid Tower Chassis
I am also waiting for a used ASRock extreme9 mobo to show up anyday now. Only bought it because it was $100 on ebay and figured I'll keep whatever would be best for a slightly more future proofed build.
Any suggestions or changes I should make to get the most out of my build? Which motherboard should I stick to? Haven't built it up yet so any advice would be great. Thank you all for taking a moment of your time to help me out
