I will be overclocking.

Current Specs:

Processor: Fx 4100

RAM: Sucky 675 Mhz 6 GB (brand Unkown)

Case: Raidmax Seiran

PSU: Rosewill 630 watt 80+ bronze

Graphics card: powercolor 7750

HDD: WD green 5400 RPM Green

Motherboard: Unknown (scavenged from an Acer m3450)

Option 1: FX-8350 with a Gigabyte UD3 990fx motherboard (bundle at micro center saves me 40 dollars)

Option 2: Radeon HD7950

Oh and I will be buying new RAM soon probably Kingston Hyper X 1600mhz.

The gfx card will give you instant gratification for gaming. The CPU/MB will be a good platform for building one in the future, however. Your call...

Btw, there is no 675 MHZ DDR3 memory. You probably have 1333MHZ. CPU-Z just shows its speed before you figure in the double data rate of DDR3 memory.
