New PC Build - opinions?

[Mattik29]

ok new question what about this Power Supply EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G1 80Plus Gold? is it a good one for the PC Spec?

[Deleted]

Whats wrong with the Seasonic? No the G1 is not as good, the G2 tho would have been really good tho. The seasonic is similar to evga GS series.

[Mattik29]

ok, so EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 80Plus Gold is pretty good yeah?...because I think I will buy this graphics card - MSI R9 390 GAMING 8G..and I read that it needs at least 600W Power Supply.... and another question, I bought CPU Case NZXT Switch 810, because it cost 51€ (cause of damaged wrapping - you know what I mean? my english is bad.. ).....it's pretty good case don't you think? Should there be any problems with it?...

[Deleted]

Yeah the G2 is very good and you will also be covered for the R9 390, and nice deal on the case, its pretty decent definately good for that price.

[Mattik29]

Ok thank you...you are still helping me so much! btw not sure if I'll buy that graphics card or 970 GTX...still thinking about it...but in both cases I think I'll take that power supply...the seasonic one is like 10€ cheaper here is Slovakia...

ok, another question: if I want to overclock my CPU (i5-6600K) to at least 4,4 GHz, which is the best CPU Cooler for it? would be nice if it was around 50€ max...

If you want the best, I'd look at a Noctua NH-D15, but the best will not be in your price range so I'd look at the be quiet! Shadow Rock 2 or the Cryorig H5.

Cryorigs can be difficult to get hold of. Other option would be scythe Mugen 4.

And slighly above budget, BeQuit Dark Rock 3 or Dark Rock Advanced

[Mattik29]

ok guys, I am really concerned...which graphics card do you prefer? gtx 970 or r9 390?

[Deleted]

At 1080p both perform equal, the moment you increase the resolution the 390 pulls ahead. The 390 also has potentially better DX12 support due to Asynch Shaders which is a prominent DX12 tool.

I would get the 390.

I too say the 390, for the same reasons. Slightly better 1080p performance with latest drivers, better performance at 1440p and 4k and supports ASync Compute at the hardware level for better DX12 support.

[Mattik29]

and is r9 390 compatible with the monitor BenQ XL2411Z? It's 144hz... or should I get another one?...144hz aswell

Yeah, just plug it in, essentially.

[Mattik29]

Yeah, just plug it in, essentially.

but if the monitor will work on 144hz and everything will be without problems?!

and again, question about graphics cards - r9 390 vs gtx 970 ... I only want to play on 1080p, don't need better resolution...they are +- the same at 1080p, but isn't the 970 better with physx and gameworks on 1080p?

[Barnabas]

Yeah developers are salivating at the chance to use async shaders in all of their games,exclusively, so the rest of the 90% of gamers have bad framerates lol.

Hitman will have DX12 support, so we will see how that performs.

And here are some of the latest DX12 numbers for Ashes.

[Kagthul]

please remember that "Has DX12 support" does NOT mean "has asynchronous compute support". A LOT of the games coming with "DX12 support" aren't supporting Asynch Compute yet (because its is quite a bit more work than just supporting the other new DX12 extensions).

[Deleted]

I know but Hitman actually does have it. And I am quite curious how it will perform on both cards.

Hitman will leverage unique DX12 hardware found in only AMD Radeon GPUs—called asynchronous compute engines—to handle heavier workloads and better image quality without compromising performance.

[Mattik29]

guys, how many fans do you recommend to the NZXT Switch 810 case?...there are 3 installed..I will probably have r9 390 graphics, will there be a good airflow with those 3 fans?

nobody?..
