Replace elite 311 with NZXT Gamma.

 

[sbnaul]

yup... The NZXT Gamma would be a better choice considering its meagre price difference...

 

[ico]

yup, NZXT Gamma is one great cabinet. Paying slightly more for it is worth it. That's what I did as well.

And I regret for not doing it.

 

[Sainatarajan]

Nice Config by sbnaul. @OP you wont get any better than this wid intel...

 

[bhoolkumehul]

but forum's other thread showing that this config in not close to intel i5. so what can i do?

 

[Cilus]

Those threads are misleading and mostly posted by Fan boys. Ignore. FX-8350 is almost as good as i5 3570K in 1080P gaming and better in Multi-Threaded tasks.

And add on 4 more GB of RAM when ever you can 4GB just seems a little short.

 

[bhoolkumehul]

so if more than 4 gb than i have to go for 64bit OS

 

[_AkasH_]

Yes, forgot to mention that.

8350 is 125w cpu than will it generate more heat? in my city april/may will hotter like 42c than will it run safely in this condition?

Yes it will generate more heat, especially when overclocked. You should setup fans in all slots of cabinet. Just confirm which cabinet will you be buying so we can suggest a config.

in 42C ambient nothing is safe..use some aftermarket coolers...

 

[bhoolkumehul]

Then can i go for 95w 6 core 6100 or 6300

Cooler master

I wont overclock, but stock cooler has copper heatpipe, which is not enough?

 

[harshilsharma63]

fx 8350's stock cooler is okey. Just attach fans to you cabinet and you are good to go. And trust me, you WILL overclock one day.

 

[Cilus]

The stock cooler that comes with AMD 8 Core FX processors are of very good quality. In Bhubaneswar, at summer, the temperature sometimes reaches 48 degree C and I have experience with the stock cooler. They are okay if you don't overclock.
