Join me on the epic journey of building a new pc! I will be reusing some parts (like my Fury X and power supply) and upgrading them later, but most of it will be new. I plan to be done by summer 2017. Why so long? I am waiting to see how Zen looks before deciding to stick with AMD or switch to Intel.
ShiftySatchmo Wish I could say the same, however already decide to switch to Intel lol
I purchased a new case today because it was a good deal and I figured why not. The first step on my new build journey is complete. Anyway, I got it for $40 at Fry’s instead of the usual $60 everywhere else. Can’t complain about that!

I currently have an FX 8350 so it’s good enough combined with the Fury X to hold me over until summer.

Haha I’m moving my 8350 into my HTPC because that is running a phenom II x6 right now.
If you move to Intel I’ll unfollow you and unfriend you from Steam.

Good!
I’ll be upgrading my GPU next year around August because this 370 is showing some signs of dying. If it dies before summer, I’ll punch a innocent wall.

Katsuo Well, if a certain person has his way a wall will be built soon so you could go SSJ and Dragon Punch it 
ShiftySatchmo I have the same case, a good one, I placed one more red led fan to the front

Gorkie SSJ, Dragon Punch? I’m not that weak
So are you going to just gather mostly new parts, and put them all together at once next summer?
Or build it gradually between now and then? Like, while your case just be sitting until you have a complete new computer to go in it, or will you put your existing stuff in it, and gradually change it out as you buy new stuff between now and summer?
Katsuo Considering how shitty the wall will be it I could have just recomended a finger punch

I won’t start until I have the mobo and cpu. I don’t want to have to take it all apart. Too lazy! The only part I might buy before those is a SSD.

ShiftySatchmo So let me ask this… I have a AMD R3 120gb SSD, I was thinking about getting a 2tb Firecuda (SSHD) is it worth it?
Gorkie get your gpu first XD
You are asking if it is worth replacing your SSD with a hybrid? What other storage do you have? I would suggest keeping the 120 as a boot and using the 2TB for games and storage.
ShiftySatchmo Thats what I ment the 2tb Firecuda for games. Im using the R3 120gb SSD for my OS, a 500gb HD for the user files and a 1tb HD for games
Gorkie If you have now a fully functioning HDD, why would you buy a new one if the current one is working normally? It’s not like that hybrid will bring you some insane speed in loading time. I have a regular HDD and I don’t even remember if I waited longer than 2 seconds in any game or software to load up. And I use a shit ton of software like Visual Studio which are supposed to load extremely long when you boot up the PC for the first time. Hell, even Witcher 3 had less than a second load time in my case XD
