[QUOTE=faze;36632717]What about a bulldozer? Budget is around what I just posted... Aside from the PSU, what's wrong with what I posted?[/QUOTE] Bulldozer is really bad.
[QUOTE=QuikKill;36632722]Bulldozer is really bad.[/QUOTE] What are you calling a bulldozer? I'm confused.

[QUOTE=faze;36632750]I hate Intel. I prefer AMD.[/QUOTE] Your choice.
[QUOTE=faze;36632750]I hate Intel. I prefer AMD.[/QUOTE] Please dont be an AMD fanboy, Intel surpassed AMD a long time ago in the technological aspects of computer hardware! this is now 2012.. give it some real thought, if you want bang for buck, go Intel!
[QUOTE=QuikKill;36632755]Your choice.[/QUOTE] Decent board? Looks like it has good ratings... Oh and feel free to find me another PSU around that price range.
[QUOTE=faze;36632775]Decent board? Looks like it has good ratings... Oh and feel free to find me another PSU around that price range.[/QUOTE] Board is fine. PSU is 59.99 with EMCNCNE23 promo code and a $20mir. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028[/url]

[QUOTE=QuikKill;36632828]Well good luck.[/QUOTE] RAM/CPU is compatible with that board right? PSU has at least four SATA power? Just making sure I get it right in my uncaffeinated state. :)
[QUOTE=faze;36632837]RAM/CPU is compatible with that board right? PSU has at least four SATA power? Just making sure I get it right in my uncaffeinated state. :)[/QUOTE] Yes and yes; there is 6.
Just because you had good luck with AMD before means absolutely nothing. You're taking a hit in performance by going with Bulldozer. Fine if you want to go through with it, just know that you can get a cheaper and better performing build with Intel. AMD even admitted Bulldozer was a huge failure, seeing as how their older generation performs better.
Pay an extra 5$ and get 4gb instead of 2. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231423[/url]

[QUOTE=faze;36648039]G.Skill is kind of not a good brand. I stick to Kingston or Corsair.[/QUOTE] G.skill is a great brand.
[QUOTE=faze;36648039]G.Skill is kind of not a good brand. I stick to Kingston or Corsair.[/QUOTE] G skill is on par with corsair i'd say
[QUOTE=fixture;36648904]G skill is on par with corsair i'd say[/QUOTE] Hm, will get that then. WD still make good hard drives? Found a 2TB for a decent price on NewEgg.
Opinions on these? [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144594[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313239[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231552[/url]
What inspired you to go from 2gb to 8gb. There's no good reason to have 8 gigs, just a waste of money imo. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277[/url] I personally have this right now: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145299[/url]

The people telling you bulldozer is crap are right, my friend has one and lots of games (saints row, deus ex, etc) took a fuckton of tweaking for him to get them playable.

Why do you need 2133?
[QUOTE=HolyCrapAWalrus;36721580]Why do you need 2133?[/QUOTE] Faster. [editline]11th July 2012[/editline] Also found this for CPU: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819106009[/url]
[QUOTE=faze;36721587]Faster.[/QUOTE] why would you possibly need faster ram? besides your mobo probably will underclock if it's above 1333 anyway
[QUOTE=Mobon1;36721607]why would you possibly need faster ram? besides your mobo probably will underclock if it's above 1333 anyway[/QUOTE] Why? It supports 2133...
