I'm not 100% sure but I'm definitely not going to risk it before buying this build.If certain parts are incompatible,please recommend me a good one and a total budget of below 950 U$D . Prefer AMD and SSD.http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1Clpc

As per your request, Amd Cpu paired with a solid 990fx motherboard. Included is one of the best budget cooler so you can overclock that Cpu reasonably well.

Saved some money and went with a 1ghz clocked 7970 from Gigabyte. It's clocked near as high as most of the GHZ edition boards, but costs a lot less so it's a great value choice right here that still performs well in today's games.

Good value for 8gb's of g.Skill 1866mhz DDR3 Ram. Best of all, it's CAS 8 which is good for 1600mhz, and great @1866mhz.

Went with a larger SSD so you can install more games(also didn't know if you have an HDD) for a great price. The 840 Evo just came out, and has been getting really good reviews.

Good price on the Psu from a great manufacturerer, Xfx(Seasonic OEM). Solid choice in the Corsair 300r w/window case for the price.

I just saw your edited thread and looked at the parts list. I'd avoid that cooler like the plague, because I don't think it's an improvement over the stock Amd cooler. Their coolers are actually fairly decent for being included with the processor.

I'd also avoid a new build planning on crossfiring 7850's. I think you'd be better off spending more money on one card right now, and possibly going crossfire at a later time.

The 970 chipset is a good solid budget choice, but if you can fit it into your budget I'd definitely go with a 990fx chipset motherboard. I'd also swap out to a different SSD. Samsung 840 Evo or 840 Pro are both really good choices, so is the Sandisk Extreme II.

Solid choice for Psu. The Hive series from Rosewill is one of the few that gets recommended from them.
