Getting [500$] ~ Suggest a mobo and processor [AMD only]

[Raptor]

Budget: Upto 500$. 8GB RAM and that 7870 GHZ edition is must.

Buying to: Have a smooth maxed out bf4 at 1280x1024 (will upgrade later, not more than 1080p)

I got: 1TB Seagate internal, Case, DVD Writer, SMPS-Corsair-500W bronze, 5.1 Sound card.

Made these out: pc partpicker.c om/p/265zj
Estimated wattage: 379W and I bought 500W bronze SMPS newly.

Is the RAM fine?
Can I go for a lesser mobo?
Is the 500W supply enough?
Whether can I go for 6 core (fx-6300) or 8 (fx-8350) (80$ higher, consumes 30W more)?

Ram- Fine
Mobo- Fine

If the estimated wattage is 379 watts, then you're fine with 500.

Just from personal experience the 8350 rapes the 6300. It'll be one of the best investments you can make in this build.

good but should get the 7870 XT

[Lovroman]

, didn't post my answer.
RAM-ofcourse it's fine
Mobo-Lesser then which one ? This one should work pretty fine ,but you can go with cheaper Asus M5A97, too, it would work fine.
PSU-Should be OK, but 600 W would(If you will go with 8350) would be better, just to be on safe side.
If you get 25$ more, go with Hyper 212 Plus or EVO, as they are a lot quieter then stock cooler.

You CAN go a bit cheaper on the Mobo, but if you have the funds, I'd stick with your current one.
RAM, CPU, and GPU all look great.

This: ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS - Newegg.com ? Yea I wanna get cheaper board.

Why is the M5A99X R2.0 Pro costlier ?

And can I go for AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Six-Core Desktop Processor FD6300WMHKBOX - Newegg.com or the 8-core itself ?
I think I can save 30W and 80$ from it too.

Cos I newly bought a corsair 500W bronze recently. I got 1TB HDD + CPU Case

Your just for you gameplay build right: pc partpicker. com/p/21DKJ ?

The M5A99 has a few extra ports and slots, but nothing really of actual need. You'd be fine with the M5A97, which actually happens to be the board I use on my secondary rig, along with the 6300.

Worth that 80$ more? 500W is fine?

If you have the money, definitely the 8350.
Absolutely fantastic processor that spits out a ton of power, is great for the price, and is completely futureproof.

New thingy, yea I am switching to the 6 core one, I have some problems with budgets @Lovroman @Aborted

Setup 1:

CPU: AMD FX-6350 3.9GHz 6-Core Processor ($139.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M LX PLUS Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($54.94 @ Amazon)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($84.98 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Asus Radeon R9 270X 2GB Video Card ($209.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($60.41 @ Amazon)
Total: $550.27

Which one ? Can I get this too: CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($33.24 @ Amazon) ?

Confused between those two boards.

I feel that the r9 270x is better than 7870 ghz.

Yes, you can get the cooler.
More expensive mobo is better for OC(I think you won't OC, but just saying )..
Setup 1 - 6350 + Cooler + 8320 = ~600$
So, I think you should get 8320..

FX-6350: Frequency: 3.9/4.2GHZ (Base/Overdrive)
FX-8320: Frequency: 3.5/4.0GHZ (Base/Overdrive)

I have read somewhere that per core performance is better in fx-6350. 8320 is just 10$ more and if it is better Ill go for it.

OC'ing 8320 to 4.5Ghz will overcome the 8350, but is the Hyper 212 Evo alone enough to cool that? Does the 8$ LED coloured coolers make any change? Heard that with liquid coolers, a guy got it to 5Ghz.

And between R9 270X and 7870 Ghz Edition, the direct x and pixel shader versions are better in the r9 270x. So am going for it.

And about the mobo, is the Asus M5A78L-M LX PLUS sufficient for 8320 being oc'ed ? Or can I go for any mobo in amazon worth 80$+ when price drops ?

It's better(it has more cores and that stuff)
Single core ? Maybe 5% difference.
5 GHZ ? Possible, but with pretty good liquid cooling and pretty good mobo.
If you are going to record something, 8320 would definetly be better.
Yes, it is enough, but it's gonna be pretty hot.
That mobo should be OK, but I'd rather go with M5A97(you can push it up to 4.3-4.5 ghz).

It seems to be better..
