kirbySo a 750W if I'm getting a 7970? Is it necessary to have 8 gigs of RAM rather than just 4? I currently have 4 gigs of DDR3, but I'm not sure if it's this "1600" that's being mentioned :x
I don't think I'll bother overclocking.
Still, the 650W and 750W are the same prices on neweg.

OblivionageForget a new build just grab an 8350 at microcenter (if one is by you) or online, 4 more gigs of ram(make sure it's the same frequency if it isn't 1600, get some ddr3-1600 as it is fast and cheaper), a nice cpu cooler for overclocking(preferably water cooling H80i or H100), and a 650 ti or 660 (light boost, 3d, physx, cuda, etc.)
#10 suggested a 750W psu which is just wasting money. The 500w you have should be fine if you don't plan on getting the 7870 + decide to crossfire later on. If you really want a new PSU get one from corsair that is 600W or 650W the extra 100W would be unused and unnecessary.
I got 750W because I got an AMD CPU AND GPU. AMD products are usually power hungry, and if he ever wants to crossfire/overclock, he can do so. Also, with 750W, he can upgrade to a 7970 if he wanted to or possibly get a new AM3+ CPU that AMD might never make.
EDIT: The 650W of the PSU I recommended is actually the same price on newegg, so yeah.
hookyKiritoIf you guys don't know, the FX-8350 beats the i5-3570k in most games AND streamingI believe that's what Rays has, and he said he feels like he's not getting great framerates (as in, not as good as people who have 3570ks). Some TF2 specific testing would be nice, I've only seen newer games (like Far Cry 3, Crysis 2, BF3) used to test, and I think all of those use more than 2 cores, while I've heard that TF2 only uses a max of 2.
You have to remember that people with an i5 3570k won't have the exact same stream settings. Besides, Rays IS streaming at 60 FPS, so that really drops his frame rates down.

Anyways, I recommend this build

ToasterWHAT i have never even played with you or use ruwin avatar. Please keep commenting on here and making a fool out of yourself and wasting your time on me this is my last comment good day to you all.
ToasterYes I am a real person but I have a life so waste your time sitting on the computer commenting about me

Hello, I'm a relatively new scout that's just been getting into competitive leagues. Right now, I'm in a UGC, IGL, and CEVO team. I've played a handful of scrims with these teams and I am currently looking for a scout mentor. Add me up if you are interested :).
Oblivionageuh the motherboard doesn't even support the cpu. I'd go with something more recent like the fx 4300, 6300, or i5's/8350. the amd phenom processors are socket am3 and the motherboard u picked was am3+. Let me try to fix it up give me a little bit.

That's what i was going to go with but that's on the expensive side. I suggest using most of what i used except the monitor, maybe a cheaper GPU, and ofc the keyboard and mouse. If you can't squeeze the i5 3570k and the motherboard, you can go with the fx 6300 and the motherboard you selected.
Oblivionage, AM3+ is backwards compatible with AM3.
PaalsIf you arent going to oc then don't buy a aftermarket cooler. Especially if you go with the Phenom II x4 BE, which has a very good stock cooler. Also your psu is overkill, 500 watts is fine I think unless you plan to sli/crossfire.
Although the stock cooler is pretty good, it's actually REALLY LOUD.
Most of it are pretty bad choices. Change the CPU to an AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition. Also, instead of a 800W psu, go for 600W-700W.
Get either the Steelseries QcK or the Razer Goliathus speed. Both of these mouse pads are pretty good and they both have identical dimensions (If you're buying the large version of the Goliathus).
