This is the build I need checked on. I will mostly be playing Minecraft, BF3 and 4(When it comes out), COD Black Ops and MW3, Trials Evolution, and all Need for Speed titles. Will this run AT LEAST Minecraft and NFS at high settings at a playable framerate? I do already have 8gb 1600mhz g.skill ram. My budget is at MAX $540 AFTER rebates. One more thing, with this motherboard, am I going to have to do a bios update to get the amd FX series compatible? I have read this with similar mobos and was wondering if I have to.
Need someone to critique my build

the MSI Motherboard (the one you originally picked) is better because it has more slots with PCIe x16

thats arguable with the graphics cards. but the MSI has more expansion slots so you can SLI or Crossfire.
i highly recommend going with the MSI one

Whether or not you're overclocking you NEED a cpu cooler. The computer won't even get past the loading screen without one. The cpu WILL get hot very fast without a standard cooler. I'm not telling you to get a 100$ looped water cooler or anything. Just a $15 standard cooler would be fine.
