my system:

Case: Roswell Black hawk mid tower

CPU: is a AMDFX 8120 is not overclocked nor am i overclocking

cpu cooler(water cooler) : antec khulhar 920

2 hard drives
sea gate 1 terabyte 7200 rpm 64 MEG cache game Hard Drive
Western Digital 1 terabyte 7200 rpm 64 MEG cache main Hard Drive (ATM)

ssd: no longer is usable as a main boot drive using it for storage/ ready boost

PSU: no idea but its a piece of crap it works but i do get power issues and my cable management is not what i want cant even close my side panels of the case

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD HIS 7850
getting another for cross fire

Motherboard: Biostar TA970
i plan on getting a 990 FX series Motherboard

so i need help picking out the following

a PSU for cable manage purposes full modular

a 990 FX series motherboard

i need two side case fans 140 mm and they need to be slim ones

a SSD for my Boot Drive

a moniter for gaming purposes

using a 32 inch tv atm and gaming on a bigger picture is nice but rather have a 120-144hz then 60

so

if someone can help with that that be great
-Thanks

Well for PSU I would get a good one from say Seasonic Corsair XFX PC Power & Cooling or such. You can get a semi modular PSU and they are some times cheaper than full modular. The difference is that the cables that you always need are hard wired and since you are going to need the 24 pin and the 4-8 pin motherboard cables it does not really matter much.

As for a monitor unless you are going to game at 120fps a 60Hz monitor will work just fine really.

For the motherboard a budget would help since the price of those board are all over the place. The one I am using is the ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0. It is really a good board I have one running my FX-8120 and FX-8350 rigs. Although they do run about $190.

Ii don't know anything about Intel except its more expensive
whats the overall difference between the amd fx 8120 vs the Intel i5 4670k?
and how much of performance a increase will i receive because i thought the more core the better?
that review link u gave is only fps difference not overall performance

besides that i just brought a ssd kit for 20$ + 360 controller off my friend i don't know if its good or not

should be better then my wd 1tb 64 meg cache 7200 rpm dive tho right?


anyway i did look for intel cpu/ combo found this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1455441

and as for psu this 1 is 20$ off its tier 3 on the list
