The top CPU cooler for AMD FX-8350
The top CPU cooler for AMD FX-8350
Hello, I understand your concerns about the cooling for the FX-8350. For a budget of up to 200$, what suggestions do you have?
The intended purpose of the system is for gaming. If it's a gaming rig, consider an i3 6100 or i5 6500. The cost difference is generally small, and many people overlook that those Intel processors don't require a costly motherboard. Additionally, the Corsair VS series is considered the worst they produce, so it's best to avoid it. A system with an i3 or i5 and a GTX 1060 or RX480 will work well with a decent 450w power supply.
consider purchasing an expensive noctua, a cooler master cooler, or a water cooler

What kind of case? Some need a top-down cooler when paired with a 125w CPU to avoid VRMs overheating.
I’m not sure which case to buy yet, but I’d like recommendations too.
MOBO: MSI 990FXA GAMING
GPU: NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1060 6GB
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB 1866MHz
SSD: Samsung 250GB 850 EVO
HDD: Seagate barracuda 1tb
PSU: Corsair VS Series VS650
If you’re starting fresh, I really suggest going with Intel or holding off for a month before AMD Zen!

Don't spend too much on an FX build, consider Intel or hold off for a while if you're thinking about Ryzen.

If you’re building from scratch, I’d suggest going with Intel or holding off on AMD for a month to save up.
Intel CPUs tend to be pricey (especially in Finland), so I’m leaning toward AMD for my budget. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
