Just got done with my first build about a month ago. Pretty happy so far with it but really haven't had a chance to test it out to its full potential as I have been in the process of moving. Here is the description of the build.

- AMD FX-8350
- ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0
- Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3 1600
- Samsung 840 Series SSD 120GB
- NZXT Hale82N 750W 80 Plus Bronze power supply
- GIGABYTE GV-N660OC-2GD
- NZXT Phantom 410 Mid Tower

At the moment I have the stock heat sink but I am looking at the Corsair liquid cooler H100i. Anyone have an opinion on that cooler? Should I look at something different?
Also should I add another Graphics card? Looking to play BF4 when it comes out and I want to be ready. :)
 





Ditch the 16gb of ram its un needed and add another 660 for better performance, my 7970 only gets 60-70 fps on ultra in bf4. also get a cooler from this list http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nepton-280l-tundra-td02-water3.0-pro-reserator3-max,3607.html

You will need to overclock your 8350 decently high for better performance in bigger games


* oops saw it was already bought* disregard the ram comment

i have nearly the same computer...
firstly, i got the cooler master 120XL for $40 after rebate (which it is currently priced at still)

much easier to install vs the double sized radiators.

it's very easy to fit and install... i'm running at 4.7 with mostly FSB overclock (only minor multiplier boost)
it idls at 16 and never passes 50 at full load. coulnd't be happier for $40!

aside from that, running 7950 crossfire.
depends on your monitor.
i have 2560x1440 at 110hz... my 7950s cant push that in BF4, at least not beta with young drivers.
