The FX-4170 CPU used previously is still on the price rise so I have again gone for the cheaper FX-6100. The FX-4170 CPU does out perform this CPU in some benchmarks but the FX-6100 outperforms it in others.
This is a very quiet card, so those who want an ultra-silent gaming pc, this is the graphics card for you. This card is also energy efficient; hence, this build has a 500w PSU.
Again, I’ve gone for the 8320. This CPU has shown to be cooler than the 8150 which has slightly higher clock speeds. Benchmarks seen here show a slight rise in performance but nothing major.
Was looking @ cases & noticed this sweet case. It has plenty of room for everything in this build plus more and has a nice look about it. There isn’t a single bad review about it.
Yet again, this CPU is included in this build. This CPU has shown to be cooler than the 8150 which was used a number of months ago, and this CPU provides much better performance.
like I have for months, I am using the Cooler Master 212 EVO CPU Cooler. Tests have shown that air cooling is just as effective as water cooling so this month.
This month I have managed to squeeze a crossfire setup in. I originally had a GTX 680 pencilled in, but there was quite a bit cash left over, so I opted for a 7950 crossfire setup. Benchmarks have shown two of these cards to be better than a single GTX 680
This PSU has enough power to run everything with power to spare, if need be you could throw the 1200W Corsair professional Series PSU in but you shouldn’t need that much power. And it is modular.
