Tbh, thats kind of a weak CPU for the price.

The i5 is definitely not kind of weak. It will trade blows with the FX for gaming easily and more than likely outperform it on some games due to its stronger cores. Especially in older games and cpu heavy games like ARMA and those.Originally Posted by Vendaku~Metal
Though the FX is king of budget builds due to its overclockability and use of having more weaker cores for mulithreading/multitasking which benefits greatly from streaming, encoding and recording. But he can always use Shadowplay.
Weak? How dare you sir. I love my 8350. Although I never buy parts from newegg. I didn't pay $200 for mine.
I think you're confused sir. lol
You're right lol. I literally read that post backwards.
Okay so far I have the hard drive, motherboard, poewr supply, and the processor and I"m just waiting for the GPU, case, and memory to ship in.
I dropped the hard drive about 60 cm and I'm not sure if that damaged the hard drive(no apparent damage from what I can see) so i'm a little bit worried about that.
On top of that, NCIX for some reason shipped me a free processor by mistake and now I have two i5 4590s.
Talk about Luck of the draw. You could probably keep that, sell it or give it to a friend that's building a PC ahaha.
Yeah I was thinking that too :P, I think they also might be sending another powersupply by mistake too, as apparently i have one that's being shipped(I picked mine up)
Not that I'm complaining though...
As long as you make sure you didn't get charge for those extra items it's all good.
Just a few questions to everyone, how sensitive is the motherboard and processor? I'm not sure if I had damaged either of them by simply bring restless. I have tried an out of the case test and I can't turn the motherboard on.
Very. Bending a single pen could render your processor useless. But if it's not responding, it may be the PSU.
If you're looking to give away that extra i5. I'd love to take it off your hands. I could def use it lol.
Just start over...disconnect everything and follow the directions slowly and do it again...there are a few connections that if they are not right will render the entire thing inoperable.
As for the durability of a mobo and processor....they are tougher than most think. If you did damage you'll know you did it...it will be visually evident.
First off I wouldn't attempt an out of the case test....the PSU grounds itself to the case and the mobo uses that too....the case protects the components not only from elements but from electo static charges which will kill components immediately.
I had him do this, he realized after a few hours alter he didn't plug the psu in lol.
Built my PC last night; Took me quite a while but 75% of the time I spent building it could've been solved with the flick of a button lol.
Difference in speed and graphics is ridiculous; I had no idea how beautifully gorgeous some of these games could be at high settings. vLife helped me alot throughout this build as well.
And in regards to the extra i5; I sold it 2 days ago for $150 to my neighbor :P, helped me return some funds on building this PC that i can spend elsewhere.. Thank you NCIX!
Wanted to thank you guys for talking me into building this PC. Much better choice i made here; Was quite fun really.
