+1 on that

also why would you upgrade to an FX8150? i know it isn't that bad, but if you are really considering to spend some money, intel is the way to go.

If you DO intend on sticking it out with AMD, from personal experience and exposure go for the 8320 or 8350 all day over the 8150. better performance (to me by a long shot) and a bit less power draw. Obv. if you can spare the cash go Intel, but if not then from a purely gaming perspective if you don't mind a slightly larger power bill then I see nothing wrong with AMD's 8 core Vishera. Also I am severely jelly of the grommets your case has... my girlfriend's nVidia Edition didn't come with them -_-.

 

[It-Guy]

Because computer parts in Estonia are not cheap, and thats why build time for this rig Upgrade is about 1 year . Cost for Build about : 1600 € (EUR).

 

[wassupdoc]

Upgrade your graphics card further and stick with the same processor if you want a better gaming rig

 

[It-Guy]

I think the 1st thing to buy is the graphics card (Asus RADEON HD 7870 2GB or Asus RADEON HD 7950 3GB DirectCU II TOP V2)

You should see my case than. Iv got cables everywhere. Infact I find it difficult to put the lid back on. Although I do have a very bad case. One of the Novatech ones.

Ive got an intel 2600
EVGA 680 Classifies
750 Cooler Master
Corsair h80
some random 8GB ram. there is no brand on it
Bad fans
and 2 500GB WD HDD's
Bad motherboard as well its a Fxcom althoug everyone has to start somewhere
Next I'm gonna buy a 2560X1440 Monitor from Asus 27".

Looking at that photo makes me realise how anal I am about cable tidying....


Also makes me realise quite how tidy Orca is!

I would clean the wires up a bit but, the case is crap there is no room left over behind the motherboard. The cables won't reach round the GPU (which was a pain in the ass to fit into this small case. As you can see my SATA cable is going over the GPU and the GPU power cables are pushed against he GPU when the door is on. The EVGA cables though are really cool they are really braided well.

I am plannign thought o buy a new case maybe the Lian Li PCp80n beacuse of the 280mm Rad that I can fit and the 3X140mm Rans I can put in the door. plus its a good quility case that will hopefully last for 10 years +.

You can easily do a better job in that case and you dont need the evga cables, they are just adding more mess

I don't need them but they make me feel fancy. Like a women wearing a frilly dress feels fancy going to the ball.
