This is my first time building a computer and I was wondering what cooling system I should get for my CPU (if not the stock one), and what PSU would be appropriate.

What I have so far:

CPU - AMD FX-8150 Black Edition
GPU - XFX 7970 Black Edition
Motherboard - ASUS Crosshair V Formula
RAM - 2x4GB Corsair 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance

I am yet to get the rest of the parts and any suggestions would be fantastic!

Thanks for your help,
Tom

Get a FX-8320 or FX-8350. And get a cheaper motherboard. A Sapphire GPU if you can.

As for PSU, you can go for a XFX 550W for one GPU. For two, get a Corsair TX850 V2.

And cooling, depends how high you plan to overclock. Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for light to medium overclocking. For high, go with Phanteks PH-TC14PE or Noctua NH-D14.
