To explain for the lack of a decent GPU, keep in mind I'm going to be using this computer for a CPU bound workload. So I see it as pointless to spend money on a good GPU. As I matter of fact, I'm tempted to steal the GPU from one of my old computers so I can save even more money.

That's a really poor CPU cooler. Look at the hyper 212 EVO, everyone loves that.
Get lower speed RAM, 1886MHz has no benefits that you will see.
Are you reusing the HDD from a current computer? If not then throw out that cache SSD and get a HDD instead. If you are reusing it, get rid of the cache SSD anyway.
That's a VERY low-end PSU. It has a 60% efficiency rating, which is pathetic.

Woah, Shovuc man...

Why are you cheaping out on the GPU SO MUCH?! Get a at least 7770, doesn't matter if you're gaming or not.

$30 PSU? Really? You want your PC to die in like a few weeks then, huh?


no, just no.

That was the cheapest RAM I could find that came in only one module.


@ultra

That was me doing my roseart2 impression. I don't mind upgrading the PSU, but I'm not going to upgrade the GPU, especially when I'm never going to reap it's benefits.

-Bad CPU Cooler
-RAM is such a high speed when you won't reap any benefits from it
-Cache SDD
-Bad PSU

Good changes. The only thing I'm going to change on that is to use one module for the 8GB of ram instead of two.

Oh, and the SSD was put there because I'm trying to make a system that emphasizes low latency/high bandwidth over memory. I plan on using flash memory for external storage.

Why not just get a 8320 and OC it?

Interesting idea. Not exactly entirely cost-effective as I am used to, but interesting nonetheless.

"Why not just get a 8320 and OC it?"

Eh, some people don't want to OC. Regardless, if the 8320 OC'd is as powerful as the 8350, why not just OC the 8350?

GPUs are stronger than CPUs when it comes to basically anything. It's especially due to the GDDR, which is extremely high clocked RAM.

@meldo

I think that 8320 and 8350 are the same chip, but 8350s were picked out from the batch that were proven stable at higher stock clock, thus they should have about the same OC potential, not sure if this applies to visheras but i believe this is how it was for phenoms

'$30 dollar PSU' I have a 25$ psu and it's been fine for 3 years, but it was on offer and is 80+

I don't see why you would want to go for a single RAM module when meldo's 2x4GB option is $10 cheaper. Also getting 2 modules allows them to operate in dual channel mode, doubling the effective memory bandwidth.

If the motherboard had 4 slots than I would. But it only has two. I plan on upgrading to 16GB in the case that 8GB is not enough. I also thought that the more modules you had, the more power the wattage they would use. I could be wrong on this though.

@earn

Well, my system is meant to emphasize high bandwidth and low latency over memory. That's a major reason why I'm using an SSD as the internal storage compared to a disc-based storage.

It's also meant to be very effective at CPU-bound operations. So investing in a high end CPU and saving money on the GPU seems like the best choice.

Here's my revised rig guys. The only changes I made was that I changed the motherboard so I could have 4 memory slots, as opposed to just 2, so I could get double the amount of bandwidth I would get when using all 16GB of the motherboards memory capacity.

I switched out the memory meldo recommended for something slightly more expensive, but faster. I figured the extra 3$ was worth it.

I switched out the recommended hdd for a 64 GB SSD.

I switched out the case.

@EarnSomeRespect

I'll consider getting a better GPU.
