New setup

[Prometheois117]

Yes the G35 is great I am getting it soon, when I get paid.
I could tell you once I get it how good it is?

Sure, I already have the lower version(Logitech G430) and I have to say the surround sound is brilliant.

I would also get a kingston SSD instead of the Toshiba and change the PSU

So, I'm getting a new gaming setup, and I wanted to ask your opinion.

Is this a good deal for a computer? I know I have to build it myself, and I know how to.
Since PC Part Picker is blocked, the specs are:


AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor
ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Toshiba Q Series Pro 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 4GB WINDFORCE Video Card
Cooler Master Storm Enforcer ATX Mid Tower Case
SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD/CD Writer

The total will be 996$.

I'm also thinking of getting a DXRacer chair, thoughts?

What headset should I get? The G35 from Logitech looks pretty good.

Heres my DXRacer chair in my setup. I can tell you that it's very comfortable (as it's pretty much the same ergonomic design as my car seat anyway) the only thing I could fault it would be that the lower lumber support, whilst still providing some support it could be better.

I want the DX racer but too much in my opinion for a chair.

Spend a bit more and get a different motherboard. I have the same one and it isn't very good. If you are wanting to overclock then that mobo isn't the one.

I can't see Corsair here = You gotta fix the setup =)

From what I see, corsair makes the cheapest RAM availible. I did end up changing it out about, getting DDR3-2000, but that added 90$.

When you are so rich, get a better CPU, the R9 will choke

How is a 4GHz hexacore not good? I'm going to be 3D modeling, a process that which is better if you have more CPUs.

I would go for it.
Except the chair. My suggestion?
Go buy a 2nd hand bacquet or a cheap new one, get the lower part of the chair from a used one and get a couple bolts and mount one for ya.

Dunno about headset.

If you aren't going to get the DX, I reccomend upgrading GPU to 290X, and get an Samsung EVO SSD.

Screw the DX chair. You need an Embody by HM
