Hey guys, I am getting a Crosshair V Formula Z Motherboard this Christmas and an FX8350 which I plan to overlclock. I currently have a H55 watercooler which I want to either upgrade to a H100i or make a custom loop for both the FX8350 and my current 7950 (and overclock the GPU). Tell me guys what you think, I want to know if I should upgrade my GPU further or stick with this?

If you're confident in overclocking, go for it. It may not improve your gameplay and it might decrease the life span of your parts. It depends on how much you overclock though. Don't increase the voltage too much to be safe.

Pshht.Overclock that CPU.It WILL give you better framerates :) 
It's sad but,all the AMD chips aren't very good for gaming right now. :( 
7950 is a very nice card.I don't see any reason to "upgrade" that.
Unless you're going to make a custom loop or bong cooler and get a 290x and OC the snot out of it.

There's a lot of info about those FX chips here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1139726/amd-fx-bulldozer-pil...

Oh by Christmas..nevermind..too bad Kaveri won't come before Christmas :(

Thank you all xD I think I'm gonna stick with the GPU and just OC it, it's the XFX DD Edition (FX795ATDJC), it runs pretty well at the moment at stock but I'll have a tinker with it this weekend :)  Thank you again
