I am receiving a decent sum of money and I have decided to use some of it on getting a new computer. The reason I am looking to build a new a computer is because I am currently gaming on an athlon x2 255, hd 7750, 8gb ddr3, and a meager 220w psu (slimline). As you may have guessed gaming with this computer is a massive headache when it comes to CPU intensive titles (or titles that actually need an ok CPU in general) a.k.a. BF3, Crysis 3, etc..... stutters and freeze ups and low frames everywhere.

I personally do not have a preference on what brands to get.
If you all haven't realized this yet, I plan to get BF4 and I am excited. I frequently talk on skype when playing BF3 currently on my rig and alt tab out a lot and do a lot browsing during my games, and as you can tell from my current rig above it is a pain and almost impossible to do this with my CPU usage @ 100%, which is why i need to be able to multitask heavily, that is why I chose the FX 8350.
I Have zero experience with overclocking but i would like to learn, so if I happen to choose a motherboard that has potential issues in overclocking please correct me.
With BF4 apparently being sponsored by AMD this time around, would it be smart to get a 7970? I may Xfire down the road or SLI when the cards are cheaper but as of right now I wouldn't
I chose my Case, KB, and Mouse because I like the color green..... a lot. Also from what I have heard this case isn't actually a bad case, so I would like to use it.
Now about the keyboard and mouse.... people say Razer products aren't worth it, is this true? The keyboard is Green backlit (major+ IMO) and it is blue switch mechanical is this a good keyboard to match my color scheme or is there any other suggestions?
and mouse has green lights 6400 dpi which is insane IMO. Any other good mice?
What do you all think about this build? What would you exchange anything for? Any upfront problems? Later down the road? Suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Sorry about the lengthy comments I am just nervous about it and I don't want to waste my money when It could have been spent better in a different section.
