AMD FM1 build

[botat29]

I'm very confuse with the new AMD CPU. I want to give a try to the AM1 CPU and Motherboard, what will be a nice one to Install Windows 7 and Office 2010 , the PC will not be use for other thing and I will use an Intel 120 G520 SSD. I want something responsive

I think you would be happy with it. I built one for my wife and so far so good. She is using it for a business course she is taking.

Specs:
1)-AMD A8-3870K APU, Black Edition 3.0GHz w/ 4MB Cache at Memory Express
2-Asus F1A75-V EVO w/ DDR3 1866, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit Lan, PCI-E, CrossFireX at Memory Express
3)-G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB PC3-12800 Dual Channel DDR3 Kit (2 x 4GB) at Memory Express
4)-Corsair Professional Series HX750 Modular Power Supply at Memory Express (total overkill but was on sale)
5)-WD 500GB Caviar Black 7200rpm SATA III w/ 32MB Cache at Memory Express

any FM1 board I setup ran far better with 1866+ ram due to how the controllers work so just get fast ram haha

the mobo is nice it has all it needs. I was also thinking of a FM1 system for me wife, the Fm1 CPUs will disappear shortly from the market so hurry up.

I'd advise to build on the soon to launch FM2 boards for more future support & should be out in the next month or so.

I recently built a system for a friend with a Gigabyte FM1 board. Let me tell you, the A8-3850 in that system was fairly quick and made for a decent overall system. My friend used a traditional HDD though, so if you go with an SSD you should be pretty happy with it.

Other than that, I would say perhaps to wait for the FM2 socket boards and chips, which will be even better.

Why? the Trinity is not better than Llano, at least not in Clock per Clock instructions : Llano is the Phenom II architecture at it 's peak performance and in plus built on a smaller process than the Phenoms, 32nm. Trinity has the Piledriver Architecture, a clear work in progress, 15% better in CPC than Bulldozer, which everybody knows what that is. What Trinity has better is the video part which is the raden 6 series compared to Radeon 5 series on Llano.
