So I was on here about a month ago with a list of parts and I got some suggestions and I took them. The finished product is now;

ASUS Sabertooth FX R2.0
ASUS HD7850
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) x2
AMD FX-8320 Vishera
Rosewill Xtreme Series RX850-S-B 850W
Rosewill Thor V2

This is my first build and was a lot of fun to put together and everything seems to be working fine with it. I'm still learning how to use the GPU Tweak and optimize the CPU and the board's settings but it's still fun. I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me some pointers on what I should be doing to get the most out of my system. It is a gaming computer and will be playing games like The Witcher, Borderlands 1&2, D3, SC2, Fallout 3, Sleeping Dogs, Hitman and pretty much anything else that I can get my hands on. I have hopes of being able to play Destiny when it hopefully comes out on PC.
 
I would use the AMD tuning software to bring the cpu up to 8350 speeds .

In general though I'd have spent less on the motherboard and more on a graphics card . The sabertooth is awesome , but by its self it doesnt add to performance . Spending another $100 on a graphics card definitely will .

Seeing as you have so much psu capavity and a board made for crossfire your next enhancement is probably to add another 7850 and crossfire .

Glad it all worked for you
