Looking for a little extra advice on build!!

[Christine]

So i live in the US and my cost for my build is ruffly 800 us. Now I do nothing but gaming and ive been looking at the fx-8350 and it looks to be the best bang for the buck. I use to have a nice i5-2500k build but its in a storage unit 1400miles away that i will never be able to get back to. So if some people could post some builds that can play games like wow ff dayz rust on max-ultra settings i would love that.

Get the Intel if you're purely gaming - try this build:

this should answer that question

well ive heard some amazing things though about the fx-8350. Wonder why so many people are against them

Largely because anything 'amazing' is likely by advertisers, or people with buyers remorse. AMD CPU's are really lagging behind in general, and especially in the MMO field.

They're honestly about the same. I'd probably go with an aftermarket 270 if you can get it the same price as a 660

[Christine]

well the benchmarks on the fx-8350 look to be really good and im not against intell but the fx-8350 does look pretty nice

[chazus]

What 'benchmarks' are you looking at? Unless its like... BF4 with an overclocked AMD vs a stock Intel... I'm betting the info is misleading.

[Christine]

so chazus what would you recomend for a 800 dollar build us?

[chazus]

Pretty much what was already posted :P

[Christine]

even the a-data ram?

[chazus]

I don't see the problem with A-Data. Ram is largely all the same these days, except in a few rare applications. As long as its the proper specs for compatibility, the winner is the cheapest.
