Why on the earth you opted for 9370? Have you thoroughly checked the TDP of that power hog ? Even your choice of TX3 won't suffice during peak. If you really want an AMD, pick the 8350 and overclock. I suggest Seasonic for the PSU.

Hey guys!
Thanks for the replies!
I'm gonna use my Dell 1210S Projector for gaming and HD movies.
I choose Fx 9370 as its the latest n fits my budget, but now i think its little over the top. :)
I can happily go for FX 8350.
 
The projector's resolution is 800x600. :eek:

After all that expenditure of the Components, there is no way in hell are you gonna exploit that on a projector that bad.
 
Just consider the tdp of 9370-220w. Even an overclocked 8350 @ 4.4Ghz won't touch that power consumption. Please check the reviews on Tom's, Anandtech etc. Huge clockspeed may not give huge speed.
 
If you are planning to spend 85k, you should definitely go for a 290. Also, IMO the projector will not give you the gaming experience expected from such a hi config rig.

or in short you said it was senseless only because of the high power consumption and not the performance. sigh.
i haven't come across anyone who is worried about power consumption in a high-budget PC. He might as well buy a basic low-end processor low-TDP set-up. >_>
 
Basically ain't 9370 an overclocked fx 8xxx chip at a ridiculous tdp ? 8350 overclocked to 4.4Ghz doesn't exceed 160w, in my personal experience. Now compare the two proccies at 4.4Ghz and the power state. The more tdp, the more heat emancipation. I wonder if people want to make a mini microwave oven outta their pc ! My previous 8350 @4.4Ghz with liquid cooling have taught me a lesson. I still say 9370 is a crap! Buy and experience it yourself !
 
Thanks again for the replies guys!
Well, I can settle on 8350 cause of its low price & power consumption. :(
Or go for 9370 for high performance. M confused now.
Anyways how abt the MOBO and Graphics Cards i have selected?

Get a Haswell >_>
 
Get a Haswell Gaming RIG:

As AMD 9Series CPU is useless for gaming and generates high amount of heat.
