    Just wondering if this will be up to standards for the price tag of it, pretty sure it's almost 1.1k USD.

    Want it for playing newer games such as AW ect.

    ^agreed. Everything looks good.
    Somewhat similar to one of my builds.

    Pretty nice.

    If I had to fault it on anything it would be the PSU. Also you chose AMD over Intel :/

    nice build, add an SSD for faster boot times and overall system boost and make sure you get an aftermarket cooler or liquid cooling.

    Nothing wrong with the and CPU nor the PSU. That PSU is PLENTY, and that CPU will not bottleneck you at all. Agreed with above, make sure you get a decent CPU cooler to maintain clock speeds and keep things in check. Air cooling is sufficient. SSD is the best upgrade you can do to ANY PC. If its out of your budget don't stress, your PC will be very fast regardless on a good HDD like your choice. Ssd just makes it way better.
    Don't forget to get an OS!

    Hardly plenty. What he has there would be around 500W recommended, generally best practice is to get a PSU 30% bigger than recommended so you don't put any stress on your components. If he wants to OC or upgrade anything he'll more than likely need to upgrade his PSU in the process.

    Also AMD CPUs are pieces of shit, they run hot as hell all the time and their optimisation with most games just sucks in general.

    I was a previous AMD 8 core lover until I traded my pc build for an asus ROG laptop...

    IMO, spend that 1.1k and get an ASUS ROG 750JZ or JW... It'll have more ram, an 8 core i7, and the newest nvidia gpu (I run everything on ultra with zero lag).

    Other than that, its a good build, maybe getting a 750W+ modular powersupply would be good (able to remove unused wires)

    Uh.... It wont have 8cores. The i7 5960x is the only i7 with 8 cores (as far as i know) and it's not offered in any laptops yet.

    Then you must not know how to select a power supply. My ENTIRE system with a GTX 980, a 750Ti PhysX card, and a 4770k could run off that power supply he chose. My system draws around 400 watts from the wall under load, and everything in my machine is overclocked, even the RAM. Where the power supply matters is on the 12v rail. Can the PSU he selected supply enough AMPS to power that card, while keeping the entire system fed? Yes, with 46A on the 12v rail, that corsair can. This card needs 21 A. I like to play it safe with THAT number, give it about 33 percent and round up. So 30A under unusual circumstances, such as if the card were to short under full load. This still leaves a difference of around 16 amps to spare, so if the power supply falls short of its advertised ratings by a few amps(which occasionally happens, not so much with corsair) you're still completely safe. We're still within the threshold of the ONLY number that truly matters.
    He could run his ENTIRE system off of a seasonic S12 520W Power supply, safely with never one hiccup, I guaran-damn-tee it.

    And in all honesty, AMD CPU's have better multithreaded optimization than intels do. They just don't have the raw clock-for-clock power that Intels do, and they suffer even more for that because everything nowadays is poorly optimized for multithreading anyways. Thus, they always fall behind in benchmarks, especially in single-threaded benches. I've built a ton of AMD-based computers. Unless he is doing heavy compute threads, in normal everyday usage you'd never know whats under the hood, especially during gaming. Every processor gets hot, ESPECIALLY the haswell processors from intel. No real benefit on either side there.

    You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Did you even do what I said? Let me go ahead and write it step by step
    1. Find a PSU calculator
    2. Enter what he has
    3. Add 30% to the result.

    I'd actually agree with what you said on multithreading though. My bad on that, I didn't realize that the 8350 had multithreading. A large chunk of AMD CPUs don't have it.

    I believe since the release of AMD Bulldozer CPU's after 2011, all AMD CPU's include multithreading so saying "A large chunk" is a bit misleading.

    A very high end and stable build IMO. You might need an SSD for quicker boot times and maybe an external cooler or a liquid cooler to keep your PC in a better state.

    No, I didn't do what you said, because the way you're looking at selecting power supplies is all wrong. Read what I said, and learn something instead of trying to make the OP invest money into shit he doesn't need. If he wants the extra power, that's another story. Though I wouldn't know what for..

    I'd be willing to put money on it with you that if he didn't already have a Power Supply and he picked that seasonic 520w I used as an example, he'd be able to run the entire system on it. with NO issues. I actually know what I'm talking about. I don't need a useless psu calculator to make me feel like I need some kind of monstrosity for a PSU.

    The fact you think PSU calculators are useless shows how ignorant you really are.
    It speaks for itself that these tools exist so that you can get the correct PSU for your computer. If you get too low wattage you'll either not be able to boot or will cause extreme wear to your power supply.
    I guess there's no talking to YOU though, if you want to continue choosing power supplies the wrong way then go ahead. When your PSU blows up don't come crying here :p

    My PSU wont blow up, as I've got 70A to work with on my 12v rail. I could run 3-way GTX 980SLI (if my mATX mobo supported it) on my 850W power supply, WITH my heavily overclocked CPU and RAM, and still have plenty of power to spare. And believe me, I wont come crying here, because I would never have to.
    There is a difference in power supplies, of course. That seasonic power supply could run his entire rig. NOT EVERY 520W power supply could do it. For example, some of the cheaper ones only have around 24A(around 290W) on the 12v rail, and Obviously that isn't enough to run his rig safely.
    Remember, your power supply's ratings are based on TOTAL wattage, across the 3v, 5v, AND 12v rails. While a power supply might be 750 watts, it might not provide enough amps/wattage on the 12v rail, and thus it cannot provide stable power to the system for the major components(mobo, CPU, RAM, GPU).

    I know my shit, and I will NOT provide other users with halfass information and act like I know something. Kthx
