I seen this motherboard:

and the price seemed too good to be true, so im wondering if it will be compatible with:

I also planning on getting a fractal design core 3000 case if that matters too

thanks for the help

I highly doubt the motherboard can handle the FX-9370. That CPU runs very, very hot even at stock speed. You'll want a motherboard with better VRM.

No. I advice that you re-think your build. If you're going to spend that much money on CPU and GPU and skim out on a quality motherboard, you got your priorities wrong.

I do like this build and if needed i could save some more money, how much do you think i should spend on the motherboard?
ive been looking around there and some people have been saying that a 990FX motherboard would suit, what do you think?

Agreed. I would at opt for that. But I think the best option would be to get a FX-8350 and an Asus M5A99X R2.0 EVO. Those two will work great together. The CPU also runs hot, but not nearly as hot as the FX-9370. The FX-8350 is also an octa-core CPU so you aren't really losing much there. Overclock it to 4.4 with a good CPU Cooler and you essentially got the FX-9370. And you get to save £50 for something else.

Can you put up your entire build on pcpartpicker.com? Top right corner allows you to flip the country. And post up the permalink when you are done. I can help much better once I know your entire build in perspective. Thanks.

Looks pretty good. I would get a CPU Cooler like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO and upgrade the motherboard to an Asus M5A99X R2.0 EVO. Lastly, the case can fit your graphics card, but you will have to remove the removable HDD bay for the card to fit.

thanks also about the case, i seen that on a video but there is more HDD room below that bay right?

It comes with two hard drive cages. If you remove one to accommodate the length of your graphics card, you will have one hard drive cage left.

Up to 4.5GHz would be safe. Any higher and I would go with a high-end air cooler or CLC. Though 4.9+ would be extreme and you want custom water cooling.
