I am making this build. The R9 280X supplies all of my gaming needs and I have heard many great things about the FX-series processors.

I want to know if all the parts I listed are compatible and will work. Will they?

It'll work, but its a bad build. Go Intel and don't be stupid. What's your budget? The FX series is seriously outdated. AM3+ is dead.

Ok, what's so stupid about AMD? The FX-8350 has been recommended to me by many of my friends and the next-gen consoles are all running on 8-core processors.
Here's the specs on AC Unity:

Ubisoft wrote "RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8/8.1 (64-bit operating system required)
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 @ 3.4 GHz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz or better
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 or AMD Radeon R9 290X (3 GB VRAM)
Hard Drive: 50 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card with latest drivers
Additional Notes: Supported video cards at the time of release: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 or better, GeForce GTX 700 series; AMD Radeon HD7970 or better, Radeon R9 200 series Note: Laptop versions of these cards may work but are NOT officially supported.


And this is one of the most challenging games to ever run..

Still, I give you all the respect due. But I don't see much of an advantage with Intel over AMD at this price range. My budget is about $850.

Your friends obviously have tiny brains.

1. 8350 is a factory overclocked 8320
2.It sais 8 cores, but all cores are a lot weaker then the ones intel provide.
3.The socket is completely outdated for instance you want to upgrade? what would you upgrade to? Nothing that beats intel for price to performance.
4.Do some research and don't listen to your friends without doing some..

Why spend $100 on that case? I'd recommend an s340 then put some money towards a stronger GPU.

Ok listen very closely:

Like I said before, "The FX series is seriously outdated. AM3+ is dead."

Also, it may be advertised as an eight-core CPU, but it's actually a quad core. Each core has a module. Infact maybe they're all modules I can't remember. It's something like that. Anyway, Intel CPU's have much stronger cores at around the same price. You can pick up a locked i5 and get waaaaay better performance.

Oh and BTW, remember about that thing about consoles being for peasants? You say they run eight core AMD CPU's, that's exactly the reason as to why they are peasants. The 8350 is overpriced for what it is and outdated.

TL;DR go Intel and don't be stupid.

EDIT: Oh and the PSU is poo poo

To start recommendations on steam/Game Devs are barley accurate and AC Unity is horrible and I wouldn't touch it with a 5 foot stick,

Here's a better build. It's better in all ways. It's absolutely filthy

It has a far better GPU, better CPU, mATX form factor, 120GB SSD, better PSU and a better platform altogether. All for under your budget. Enjoy.
