Help on my system!

- AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Quad Core Processor 3.2GHZ AM3 8MB Cache 125W Retail Box

- ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ 970/SB950 DDR3 2PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 2PCI SATA3 USB3.0 Motherboard

- Kingston ValueRAM 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 1333 CL9 240-PIN SDRAM

- XFX Radeon HD 7850 Core Edition 860MHZ 1GB 4.8GHZ GDDR DVI HDMI 2XMINIDP PCI-E Video Card

- Fractal Design Core 1000 mATX Computer Case

- Seasonic M12II 620W EPS12V 20/24PIN ATX PFC 80+ Bronze Modular 6PIN PCI-E 120MM Fan Power Supply PSU

- Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64Bit SP1 DVD OEM

- Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA 6GB/S 7200RPM 64MB Cache 3.5in Hard Drive OEM

This is a prebuilt system I might be buying from NCIX, I don't plan on building one.

Questions

- Will the AMD Phenom II X4 work fine with the 7850?

- Is my PSU okay?

- My motherboard fine?

My budget would be 800$ for taxes and shipping and all.

This is good but for 10 dollars more i would go with the fx-6300

6100 is Bulldozer

6300 is Vishera

6300 has better performance per clock. Go with it hands down.

bulldozer architecture doesn't have good rep for gaming. in my opinion definitely worth the money.

If you popcorns can afford 6300, then get that instead. I agree with tenacious on this one. I'm just trying to squeeze his budget to fit the $800+tax mark so I chose the 6100
