some parts im pulling from my old rig

the wd blue hd, the video card, the case and the power supply are things I will be using that I have.
the rest is what I need an opinion on.
also im not attached to the video card. but I don't think its worth purchasing a new one since amd said they have a new crop coming out in a few months.

u wasting money on 9590, go with i5 or 8320/50

Agreed, also common rule of thumb is 8g of 1600 ram is all that's needed for a gaming rig

i'd change psu as well lol lots of things but brb csing atm

whats ur budget?

That CPU ain't better than the i5 4670k bruh. the i5 happens to be cheaper aswell.
CPU is good for overclocking though. VERY good.

but i5>




worth mentioning: power consumption is sick difference. the i5 is soo much cheaper choice after only half a years usage.
even the intel i7 is after 6 months of usage cheaper than the 9590 AMD

if you meant 9590 is very good for OCing, i disagree...

as long as you have a ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z it's all ok
However, another cooler will be necessary to reach 5ghz.


I'm still recommending i5 or i7 though.

you do realize, the 9590's base clock is at 4.7ghz, and 5 at turbo?
Most people struggle to OC it to even 5.0, spending so much $$$ to get .3ghz to OC is not a good OCing cpu..
Asus board you mentioned is another $200+ and even then, lots of people are having stability problems reaching 5.0 or higher.

Much better to spend $$$ on 8320/50/70 w/ a decent board instead of a 200+ board to OC it easily to 4.5, cos they are pretty much the same CPU as 9590, especially when you get a good one and reach 4.7+.

get fx8370
