building my own pc

[NTM2003]

I am building my own pc I am going to take my time with like a year or so will I be save to know that if I buy my motherboard and Processor now the cases and components wont change in the next 3 years and will a 4.0ghz or higher AMD run all new games for the next few years?

If it's going to take time to put together a computer financially then get the components with the least amount of time sensitivity. I would say since your building the machine primarily for gaming the most time senitive component is the GPU. The CPU would definitely be on the top of that list but the CPU is taking a further and further backseat in importance. A 4GHZ AMD will definitely be fine. Things like the case and psu would be fine to purchase now.

I have been looking at motherboard combos on tigerdirect.com and the fasted one they have is a 4.4ghz amd I am going to have to save for that I am looking to put 2 grand into this when done. and a 850 watt power supply should be plenty to run everything.

Welcome to TPU!
I think you may consider:

**PSU, Video Cards are getting less power hungry mother after model, so 600W 80+plus certified PSU would be fine, would last more than 3 years with you,
**Case can be with you till the end of time if you get the right one, with right space to put what you would get, take the time and compare, decent air flow and space are a must.
***Motherboard, processor, Ram , Video Card and SSD/ HDD, this its going to be the most expensive card on your build, look for opportunities, rebates and sales if you don’t have much money,
***Peripherals , do you have your mouse, keyboard and headset? this is important but not necessary for example I started my build and left this for the final part,

A 4.0GHz Amd processor will be power hungry, they also come with a stock cooler that are not so good, you may replaced it with water or Aftermarket Air cooler, intels processors are a little less power hungry and quite cooler compared to some of AMD big sharks processors, but the advantage of AMD it’s the socket conservation they do, intel in the other hand doesn't re-use that much a socket,


How much it's your money for it, what are you buying first?

I am going to buy the motherboard and processor first then the case, the case is the part I want to stand out with my friends walk in the room so it will take me time to find the right windowed side case with leds, the power supply, and heatsink will be next I am getting the Cooler Master V8 GTS - High Performance CPU Cooler with Horizontal Vapor Chamber and 8 Heatpipes so I want a case that will fit that big ass heatsink

Save up to get everything at once. Maybe you'll find a bundle to get everything cheaper.

what is better for gaming amd or intel and over clocking?

Intel. Overclocking is unnecessary these days.

its really worth the V8, with a little more you can get a AIO, like Corsair H60/70, Thermaltake Water 3.0Performer, Antec Kulher H2O or Coolermaster Seidon 120V, they perform pretty well,

the better advice you would get… but if your budget will not be enough don’t worry, you can still your plan.
looking for bundles could be nice too, also some stores make bundles to get rid of some old generation processors or parts,

Truth has been spoken...

I got a FX-8150 (Zambezi) (125W) 3.6 GHz over clocked at 4.0ghz only loud when playing skyrim

Those chips are terrible in Skyrim. That and Total War pretty much require Intel.

 

[NTM2003]

yup that's while I am building a new pc, sould I put windows 10 on it im sure it will be out by the time I am done

 

[MxPhenom 216]

Also don't get the V8 cooler, There are much better options. MUCH BETTER.

 

[NTM2003]

ya I look into that people say in the reviews it is to big and cant work around it

 

[Blue-Knight]

Save up to get everything at once.

Definitely the best idea.

liquid cooling I have no idea how to install so I guess I stick with the normal heatsink and fan I go with the cooler master hyper 212 much better size and not as big as the cooler master V8

With most of the newer AIO (All In One) liquid cooling solutions; they are as easy to install as the higher end air cooling solutions. They have come a long way in the last 4 or 5 years.

you got the cool master hyper 212 how you like it so far according to your specs?

Definitely intel.

Oh the Hyper 212 is one of the best and cheapest air coolers to be had! Works fantastic. I have my 3770K (stock clocks) Crunching on World Community Grid at 100% and it never raises over 60C at full load.
I do have the cooler running in a push/pull configuration with two fans.
I have read they don't do near as good running a single fan. If you do decide to grab the Hyper 212 be sure to get the kit with two fans. It makes a world of difference.

installing a AIO liquid cooling solution kit it's going to similar to the Hyper 212 EVO,
the unique difference its to mount or install Rad and Fans, but it's not going to be something pretty hard…
Take a look:

Corsair h60 install Process…

after looking at the video it don't seem hard that's why they make how to videos lol

 

[peche]
